Yuno Accelerates Global Growth with APAC Expansion Across China and Singapore
- With Singapore as its regional headquarters in APAC and new operations in China, the payments orchestrator is simplifying cross-border commerce for global merchants.
- Yuno is also announcing the regional availability of NOVA, the company’s first-of-its-kind suite of agentic AI solutions that turn payment friction into growth.
SINGAPORE & NEW YORK, US – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 September 2025 – Yuno, the global payment orchestration platform, today announced important expansions within APAC including the opening of regional headquarters in Singapore and new operations in China. Yuno’s dual-office setup strengthens its mission to simplify global payments and empower merchants to scale across borders with confidence.
Today’s announcement follows Yuno’s entry into the Middle East and UK earlier this year, when the company launched its regional headquarters in Qatar and European headquarters in London to better serve the MENA & EU region’s fast-evolving payment needs.
Founded by Juan Pablo Ortega and Julián Núñez – the entrepreneurial minds behind Latin American tech giant Rappi – Yuno was built by merchants, for merchants. After navigating the complexities of global payments firsthand, the duo launched Yuno to address the growing need for a seamless, secure and scalable payment solution that adapts to different markets.
Expansion into China
With its new operations in China, Yuno is enabling Chinese merchants to participate in the global digital economy by offering a single API integration that connects to more than 1,000 payment methods and over 450 providers across 195 countries. This includes built-in compliance (PCI DSS, GDPR and local data privacy), smart routing to increase approval rates and reduce costs, and real-time payment insights that drive better decisions.
“China is one of the world’s most advanced digital economies, and its merchants are increasingly going global,” said SheueChee Beh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Yuno in APAC. “We’re proud to partner with Chinese brands to remove the friction in cross-border payments and help them scale confidently on the world stage.”
Building Roots in APAC
Yuno’s regional headquarters being placed in Singapore also marks a strategic move to anchor the company’s presence in APAC – one of the world’s fastest-growing digital commerce regions. With strong internet penetration, a tech-savvy population, and regional leadership in compliant digital infrastructure, Singapore is home to a significant number of fintech firms that consistently attract the highest funding in the region.
Yuno will benefit from having its regional headquarters in Singapore due to:
- Singapore’s position as a leading fintech hub in Asia, supported by strong regulatory frameworks, innovation programs, and global connectivity.
- The company’s ability to strengthen alignment with regulatory frameworks and contribute to the growth of the payments ecosystem as a member of the Singapore FinTech Association (SFA) and Emerging Payment Association Asia (EPAA) and close work with local industry bodies.
- Global and regional Yuno customers, including NetEase Games and other pilot merchants, have established their payment infrastructure in Singapore. Setting up Yuno’s APAC hub in Singapore allows the company to better support these customers and accelerate new product rollouts.
- Singapore’s vibrant fintech ecosystem also provides Yuno with access to strategic partners, banks, and payment providers. This enables deeper collaboration and innovation to meet the evolving needs of businesses across the region.
- Through active participation in industry discussions and fintech events, Yuno is committed to helping shape the future of payments in APAC, while leveraging Singapore as a hub for talent, marketing, and connections.
Yuno Launches NOVA, AI Agents to Turn Payment Friction Into Growth
Yuno also introduced a brand new AI-powered solution – NOVA – to further support merchants in APAC and across the world. NOVA turns card declines, abandoned checkouts, and missed payments into AI-powered customer conversations via phone and WhatsApp that recover revenue and surface additional data signals from customers in the process. The engagements with customers are built to delight them by utilizing intelligent decisioning to choose the optimal outreach method, generating the right script, localizing the conversation across over 70 languages, and adapting dynamically based on the customer’s responses and preferences.
Pilots of NOVA began in Q2 2025 with a select group of global merchants across retail, digital services, and delivery platforms. In early testing, NOVA helped recover up to 75 percent of failed payments on calls that were answered, and showed meaningful lift across WhatsApp messaging as well. Rappi, the Latin American delivery giant, was one of the first to adopt the solution—and within just a few months, it saw an 8 percent lift in recovery rates.
“Our goal is to become the go-to partner for businesses navigating global payments. Whether it’s a fast-scaling brand in China or an innovative startup in Asia, Yuno offers the infrastructure and intelligence to power their next stage of growth,” said Juan Pablo Ortega, Co-founder and CEO, Yuno. “Coupled with the launch of NOVA, Yuno is driving the charge towards agentic commerce, proactively solving merchant issues, all without manual intervention. We look forward to our continued expansion in the region and helping businesses scale globally with confidence and efficiency.”
Trusted by brands like McDonald’s, NetEase Games, GoFundMe, Uber, inDrive, and Rappi, Yuno continues to expand its footprint in high-growth regions through localised solutions and on-the-ground expertise.

The Reality of the Raya Rush
The lead-up to Raya is a whirlwind of grocery runs, deep cleaning, and late nights in the kitchen. By the time the first open house begins, most women have already put in an incredible amount of effort for their families. The quiet moments in between are not just a break. They are earned.
XIXILI’s pajamas are made for those moments. Easy to move in, soft enough to wear through the night, and the kind of pieces that make coming home feel like something to look forward to. Designed to fit a wide range of body types, every woman can find something that feels as good as it looks.
“Raya is everything. The food, the family, the laughter. And at the end of it all, she deserves to rest just as well as she celebrated,” says Tara Tan, Marketing Director at XIXILI.
Comfort That Carries Through the Season
Raya may bring the occasion, but the shift happening in Malaysian wardrobes goes further than that. Women are increasingly treating sleepwear as a considered part of their self-care, not just something to change into before bed.
“We often talk about the joy of gathering, but we rarely talk about the exhaustion that comes with it,” Tara Tan adds. “Our goal for Raya 2026 is to ensure that when the last guest leaves, every woman has a high-quality piece of loungewear to retreat into. It is about honouring the work she does by giving her the rest she deserves.”
Quality loungewear for the wind-down, the slow morning, and every quiet moment in between has become one of the most considered purchases a woman makes this season.
Made to Be Worn, Not Just Owned
Good sleepwear should not sit tucked away at the back of a drawer. It should be the first thing she reaches for at the end of a long day, worn in and looked forward to. XIXILI’s range is built for exactly that, styles that settle naturally into her routine and carry her well beyond the festive season.
The full sleepwear collection is available online and at XIXILI boutiques nationwide. To shop the range, visit www.xixili-intimates.com.Hashtag: #XIXILI

Expert fitters are dedicated to helping each customer find the perfect bra, boosting confidence and enhancing silhouettes.

Whether for everyday wear or something special, XIXILI ensures women always look and feel amazing.
Specifically, in addition to the existing incentives currently available, customers who switch from old gasoline vehicles to new VinFast electric vehicles during the program period will receive an additional 3% discount for cars and 5% discount for scooters. The program will be applied across all four markets: Vietnam, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
In line with VinFast’s pioneering spirit, GSM Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company has also announced an immediate 10% reduction in fares for electric mobility services on the Xanh SM platform in Vietnam and Green SM in Indonesia from March 11 to March 31, 2026. This initiative offers customers a more environmentally-friendly and cost-effective transportation option.
The program may be extended depending on international developments and future fuel price movements.
Ms. Duong Thi Thu Trang, Deputy CEO of Global Sales, VinFast, stated: “The special ‘Trade Gas for Electric’ program launched in March across four key markets is VinFast’s timely response to geopolitical volatility that is affecting socio-economic conditions in many countries around the world. As one of the pioneering manufacturers leading the global electric vehicle revolution, VinFast together with companies in Vingroup’s green ecosystem aims to help reduce the impact of fuel prices on people’s daily lives while also lowering environmental pollution through smarter, more sustainable, and more cost-efficient mobility solutions.”
The special “Trade Gas for Electric” program will be implemented in parallel with and combined with other available incentive programs in each market. Through layered incentives, Vingroup and companies within its ecosystem aim to create favorable conditions for customers to transition quickly to electric vehicles, reduce dependence on gasoline, stabilize daily life, and contribute to building a cleaner and more civilized living environment.

To further deepen its engagement in Northeast China, SUSS will launch a satellite office in Shenyang on 11 March 2026 under the Success Academy in Chongqing.

The launch of the Success Academy in Chongqing allows us to work more closely with universities, industry and community partners in Western and Northeast China, and to deliver applied, practice-oriented education that responds to real-world needs. Our partnership with Raffles Young Academy reflects our shared commitment to developing future-ready talent and supporting professional growth across the region.”
Mr. Samuel Ng, Executive Chairman, RYA, said, “Our collaboration with the Singapore University of Social Sciences reflects a shared belief in applied, practice-oriented education and in preparing students and enterprises to navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
