Transforming payments for AsiaPac with a truly virtual solution

  • Article

Hong Kong-headquartered AsiaPac is a leader in digital marketing across the region. AsiaPac leverages its AI data analytics, and search optimisation tools to drive digital marketing campaigns on behalf of its business customers.

The Challenge

AsiaPac makes a large number of payments each month to platforms such as Facebook, Google, Yahoo and Tiktok on behalf of customers, faced with:

  • Inefficient payments and fraud risk due to manual data entry
  • Inability to create working capital advantage and generate investment returns

The Solution

  • AsiaPac can now make payments to digital platforms and receive monthly subscriptions from customers via HSBC’s Virtual Card programme
  • Card usage can be defined precisely through HSBC’s digital cards portal, generating one-time card numbers, and setting limits on value, expiry and merchants
