KPay Launches Unified Pay-In And Pay-Out Platform For SMEs

KPay, a financial and business management platform, has launched a unified pay-in and pay-out platform for SMEs in Hong Kong. This platform aims to streamline financial operations for SMEs, reduce reliance on outdated methods, and improve efficiency.

A recent study by KPay revealed that SMEs in Hong Kong spend over 2,298 hours annually on financial management, costing each SME an average of HK$160,000 annually. The study highlighted significant inefficiencies due to reliance on paper and basic spreadsheets.

KPay’s new platform addresses these issues by offering a comprehensive solution for payment collection, bill management, reconciliation, and financial data analysis within a single app. Powered by Airwallex, it facilitates international transfers with faster settlements and reduces manual errors by up to 90 percent.

KPay has also partnered with DBS SME Banking Hong Kong, marking DBS’s first open banking collaboration in the market. This partnership enhances SME business experiences through seamless digital banking services and tailored banking privileges.

This underscores our commitment to enhancing SME business experiences with partners like KPay. Dedicated to providing seamless digital banking services, DBS has supported hundreds of KPay merchants in Hong Kong with tailored banking privileges. We are confident this number will grow as we introduce a low-carbon SME package to support sustainable practices,”
