XTransfer plans to launch e-business wallet services in the Lion City.

China-based cross-border trade payment platform XTransfer has received an in-principle approval for a major payment institution license (MPI) from Singapore’s central bank.

After obtaining an MPI license, XTransfer said that it plans to introduce e-business wallet services in Singapore.
