MatchMove Receives Frost & Sullivan Awards for Embedded Finance and Cross-Border Payment Innovation
Anonymous
Singapore-based fintech firm MatchMove has earned two major industry awards from Frost & Sullivan: the 2026 Asia-Pacific Cross-Border Payment and Remittance Solution Technology Innovation Leadership award and the 2026 Singapore Embedded Finance Company of the Year, according to PR Newswire. The dual recognition puts MatchMove among the top players in Asia's fast-growing embedded finance space.
The awards highlight MatchMove's work building a banking-as-a-service platform that lets businesses launch financial products without building complex infrastructure from scratch, Yahoo Finance reported. The company serves enterprises across Asia with tools ranging from card issuance to cross-border payouts — all through a single integration.
One Platform Handles Payments, Cards, and Payouts
MatchMove's platform bundles several financial services into one system. Businesses can access cross-bank payments, virtual accounts, fund collection, card issuance, and payout capabilities together, according to Newswire. That means a company needs just one integration to go live with multiple financial features.
The goal is to cut operational complexity. Instead of working with five or six separate vendors, an enterprise can deploy a full financial stack through MatchMove alone. That approach speeds up product launches and reduces the cost of managing multiple provider relationships.
Frost & Sullivan Cites Technology Innovation Across Asia-Pacific
Frost & Sullivan gave MatchMove the Asia-Pacific cross-border payment award specifically for technology innovation leadership. The firm evaluated how well MatchMove's solutions solve real problems for businesses moving money across borders in the region, ADVFN reported.
Cross-border payments in Asia-Pacific remain a major pain point for businesses. Currency differences, local banking rules, and slow settlement times create friction. MatchMove's programmable infrastructure is designed to cut through that complexity and give enterprises more control over how money moves.
Embedded Finance Lets Companies Offer Banking Without a Bank License
The Singapore Embedded Finance Company of the Year award recognizes MatchMove's role in helping non-bank businesses offer financial services to their customers. Embedded finance means a retailer, logistics firm, or gig platform can give users a wallet, card, or payment tool built into their own app, Yahoo Finance noted.
This model is growing fast across Southeast Asia. Companies want to own more of the financial experience without becoming regulated banks themselves. MatchMove's platform makes that possible by sitting in the middle — handling compliance infrastructure while letting enterprises build on top.
MatchMove Positions Itself as Asia's Programmable Finance Layer
MatchMove describes its offering as "programmable financial infrastructure" — a term that signals flexibility for developers and enterprises alike. The idea is that financial services should work like software: configurable, scalable, and deployable on demand, according to ADVFN.
The two Frost & Sullivan awards reinforce that positioning. For MatchMove, winning both a regional cross-border payment award and a country-level embedded finance award in the same cycle signals broad recognition across two of the hottest segments in Asian fintech right now.
