Juspay opens APAC hub in Singapore, signs orchestration deal with Agoda

Payments infrastructure provider Juspay has opened a regional hub in Singapore to support its growing footprint in the Asia Pacific market.

Juspay’s new Singapore office will serve as a base for addressing the complex needs of regional merchants navigating multiple local payment methods and regulatory frameworks. The company plans to scale its team in Singapore to support its operations across Asia Pacific.

“Our expansion into Singapore positions us at the heart of the dynamic Asia Pacific market, where we can work closely with merchants to tackle their unique challenges,” said Sheetal Lalwani, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Juspay.

As part of its APAC strategy, Juspay has entered a partnership with Agoda, a Singapore-headquartered digital travel platform under Booking Holdings. Agoda has implemented Juspay’s full-stack orchestration and reconciliation services to streamline its payments infrastructure across the region.

“Our expansion comes at a crucial moment as APAC’s digital payment landscape undergoes rapid transformation and diversification,” said Nakul Kothari, Head of APAC and Middle East at Juspay. “We intend to scale our team in Singapore and address the challenges being faced by enterprises in managing global payments like optimizing transaction costs, improving authorization rates, and enhancing payment experience with local payment methods.”

Juspay employs around 1,200 staff globally, including teams in the US, UK, Brazil, and Singapore.
