Frost & Sullivan calls MatchMove Pay a rising star in the mobile payments industry

Recognises MatchMove with 2018 Singapore Mobile Wallet Platform Growth Excellence Leadership Award.

Singapore, 6 December 2018 – MatchMove, one of the world’s fastest growing and leading fintech companies, is pleased to announce that it has been conferred the 2018 Singapore Mobile Wallet Platform Growth Excellence Leadership Award at Frost & Sullivan’s Asia Pacific Best Practices Awards. The awards honour the best-in-class companies that have demonstrated excellence in their respective industries. After conducting in-depth interviews, analysis and extensive research by analysts at Frost & Sullivan, a leading international consultancy and research firm, the report concluded that “MatchMove has proven itself to be a rising star in the mobile payments industry, through its flagship offering e-wallets that provide ‘Spend, Send, LendTM’ capabilities to its clients”.

Frost & Sullivan’s report highlighted how MatchMove delivers top notch customer impact and growth performance during the year, particularly in the following areas:

Price and Performance Value

MatchMove’s proprietary Banking Wallet OS has the capabilities of inserting Spend, Send, Lend thin any app to help companies embrace digital transformation. While most clients look to include these three capabilities in their mobile apps, other providers tend to specialize in a single functionality. MatchMove’s unique model sets itself apart as a one-stop solution that results in a smoother user interface, lower cost and quicker launch, as clients do not have to deal with multiple providers and face complications and delays in their implementation. These services and advantages provide MatchMove with the best price-to-performance value among its competitors.

Customer Ownership Experience

MatchMove also provides clients with value-added services such as the advantage of data collection. When enterprises are able to collect user data, products and promotions can be more targeted and customized to end consumers, resulting in advantages such as better conversion rates, more loyal members, and a much stronger brand.

Growth Sustainability

MatchMove has identified a massive unbanked and uncarded population in the developing nations that represents vast greenfield opportunities for its growth. In the developed markets, its solutions are gaining popularity with users who prefer prepaid solutions over banking services due to security reasons.

In Singapore, the government’s efforts to grow the local fintech scene have opened up Singapore’s Fast and Secure Transfers (FAST) infrastructure, an electronic funds transfer service that usage was exclusively for banks, to non-bank financial institutions. MatchMove is one of the companies that will gain direct access to FAST network, thereby removing the additional layer of banks and the extra costs required for banks to perform the fund transfers.

These have created sustainable growth opportunities for MatchMove.

The report also attributes MatchMove’s success to its delivery of brand equity, quick-to-launch mobile payment solutions that are scalable for varying industries and verticals, as well as its partnerships with the leading names and its growth diversification across Asia.

Speaking at the awards ceremony, Mr Nitin Palande, SVP, Global Business Operations, MatchMove, said, “To be an industry leader in growth is never an easy task. It is one that is made even more difficult considering today’s competitive intensity, customer volatility and economic uncertainty, not to mention the difficulty of innovating in an environment of escalating challenges to intellectual property. We thank all our clients, partners, employees and investors who have given us their support and trust over the years, so much so that MatchMove can be a proud recipient of this award from Frost & Sullivan.”

Shailesh Naik, Founder & CEO of MatchMove, said, “We are honoured to be one of Asia’s top companies recognised at the 2018 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Best Practices Awards. Being named as the winner in the mobile payments industry is not just a testament of our efforts; it is an impetus to spur us further in becoming the leader of digital money mover and bring the whole world into the financial fold.”
