LONDON and SINGAPORE, Apr. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

-- Mass-payout capabilities expanded to over 100 countries, enables quick 
payouts to sellers, suppliers, and workers in Asia, the US, Latin America,

Rapyd, a global Fintech as a Service company, announced today a major expansion 
of Rapyd Disburse ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2786307-1&h=3237632666&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rapyd.net%2Fdisburse&a=Rapyd+Disburse 
), an industry-leading mass-payout platform. The company has made significant 
investments in the Rapyd Global Payments Network in Europe and the Americas, 
and now offers more payout methods in Asia than any other payout platform. A 
simplified user interface for clients to onboard is now available, so clients

By expanding core disbursement functionality and deeply integrating them with 
Rapyd's Fintech as a service technology stack - Collect, Issuing and Wallet - 
businesses can now leverage a single, unified cloud-based solution that 
delivers the broadest array of payment acceptance and disbursement capabilities 
with reach to more than 100 countries. The Rapyd Global Payments Network 
provides significant global reach including 26 countries across Asia including 
Singapore, India, Taiwan, and Japan. Expansion across the Americas has also 
occurred with more payout coverage in the United States, Brazil, and Mexico. 
And depth of coverage in the EMEA region has been broadened in France, Germany, 
the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, and Kenya. Rapyd will be extending 
wider coverage for bank payouts across Africa in the next two quarters.

Significant changes in the economic landscape are moving businesses to get 
online and pay their suppliers, workers, and partners electronically quickly 
and easily.  Yet, both new and existing online businesses are finding it 
challenging to pay efficiently, at low cost, and in the preferred local payment 
methods they need, including local and cross-border bank transfers, into 
ewallets, push-to-card, or even in cash. 

Rapyd Disburse bypasses legacy mass-payout platforms by providing APIs that 
improve the user experience and supports multiple disbursement use cases 
including B2B supplier payments, B2C mass payouts for digital platform 
businesses and P2P transfers for remittance firms and banks. Built-in platform 
features help prevent fraud, cover regulations and compliance, and manage 
foreign exchange conversion. 

Rapyd Chief Product Officer Helcio Nobre stated, "In this quickly changing 
economic environment businesses are looking for a modern disbursement solution 
that leverages speed-to-market, provides global payout reach and offers 
flexible technology options to support rapidly changing use cases. Enabled 
through the Rapyd Global Payments Network, Rapyd Disburse gives businesses 
unparalleled reach and scale providing highly localised payment experiences 
based on consumer payment preferences."

The global disbursement market is expanding quickly worldwide, and notably in 
Asia. According to research from the "Rapyd 2020 State of Disbursements: APAC 
Outlook" which surveyed consumers across 7 countries in the Asia-Pacific region 
and found that bank transfers are the preeminent way consumers prefer to 
receive funds. Consumers choose to receive a bank transfer 53% of the time, 
followed by cash (16%) and ewallet transfers (14%). Additionally, Rapyd found 
consumers are most concerned about security, speed and the costs of the funds 
being received. The full research report which focuses on Asia-Pacific payment 
trends will be publicly released on 4 May 2020.

The global economy is re-focusing to a new playing field and a changed set of 
market realities. Digital businesses such as marketplaces, content delivery 
networks, gaming, and online education applications support a growing number of 
entrepreneurs with new income streams. Marketplaces and gig-economy platforms 
that can support cross-border payouts for remote workers, and B2B suppliers 
stand to benefit considerably as the world adapts to new market conditions. 
Rapyd Disburse solves these global disbursement challenges by simplifying the 
complexity of local and cross-border payouts so new markets can be reached 
faster. For more information visit https://www.rapyd.net/disburse.
