Aspire, a Singapore-based all-in-one finance platform for modern businesses, has announced a partnership with global programmable financial services provider Stripe to offer faster and more flexible payment solutions for businesses in Hong Kong.
Through the new integration, Aspire users can collect payments from clients in Hong Kong, mainland China, and overseas via credit cards, digital wallets such as Alipay, Weixin Pay (WeChat Pay), Apple Pay, and Google Pay, as well as SEPA Direct Debit.
Customers can pay in multiple global and Asian currencies, including USD, EUR, and TWD, supporting businesses with international clients and cross-border transactions.
Cash flow remains a key challenge for Hong Kong’s small businesses, with 52% of B2B sales paid late and overdue invoices typically taking a month beyond agreed terms to settle.
The Aspire–Stripe integration seeks to address this by enabling users to access revenue in as little as three days, compared to the industry average of seven.
“Hong Kong is a gateway to Asia and its businesses deserve modern financial solutions that match their global ambitions,”
said Andrea Baronchelli, CEO and co-founder of Aspire.
“Our partnership with Stripe gives founders the ability to accept payments via digital wallets, card payments and direct debit across borders and currencies, while improving their cash flow in the process.”
Aspire users can also issue invoices or payment links in multiple currencies, including HKD, CNY, USD, EUR, and GBP, allowing clients to pay directly via card or digital wallet.
