The crypto payments firm is the fourth to receive a digital payments token (DPT) license in the city-state.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has awarded a DPT license to TripleA, allowing the company to provide end-to-end cryptocurrency payment services, according to an announcement this week.
Founded in 2017 by mobile and payments entrepreneur Eric Barbier, TripleA currently operates in Singapore, with a presence in Hong Kong and Europe.
CEO Barbier said in the announcement that the license will enable the company to «expand cryptocurrency access to more residents and also strengthen [TripleA's] positioning as a trusted and reliable crypto payments partner for businesses worldwide.»
Demand for Licenses
MAS has awarded DPT licenses to DBS Vickers, Australian crypto exchange Independent Reserve and fintech firm Fomo Pay.
It has received over 170 licence applications from digital payment token service providers, including global crypto exchanges such as Coinbase and Kraken.
