South Pacific Group, MidasVault, and HuiLink Unveil Next-Generation Fintech Solutions at 2025 Global Artificial Intelligence Machines and Electronics Expo
Strategic Partnership Transforms Cross-Border Payments to Fuel New Wave of International Commerce
HONG KONG, Dec. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2025 Global Artificial Intelligence Machines and Electronics Expo, hosted by the China Electronics Chamber of Commerce (CECC) and supported by leading government and industry bodies, was held from December 4-6 across Macau and Zhuhai. Under the theme "Bay Area Intelligence, Globally Embraced," the event has established itself as one of the region's most influential technology platforms, bringing together innovators and industry leaders to shape the future of intelligent commerce. Against this high-profile backdrop, South Pacific Group, MidasVault, and HuiLink, have joined forces to showcase a fully integrated cross-border payment ecosystem designed to empower cross-border businesses and accelerate international business growth.
For businesses seeking global expansion, traditional cross-border payment channels feature systemic constraints, characterised by lengthy settlement cycles, high transaction costs, and operational inefficiencies that limit scalability. According to latest industry insights, correspondent banking networks still dominate, resulting in long multi-day settlement times and high fees, particularly for SMEs. Typical business-to-business cross-border transactions can take between 2-5 days to clear due to compliance checks and fragmented infrastructure, while costs are further compounded by transaction fees and foreign exchange markups. These inefficiencies strain cash flow but also limit access to emerging markets where many businesses operate without robust banking infrastructure.
Pioneering an end-to-end cross-border payment ecosystem to streamline global transactions
The growing fragmentation of payment rails and regulatory complexity is accelerating the shift toward digital assets and tokenised money as businesses seek faster, more efficient, and cost-effective alternatives. Recognising this market evolution, South Pacific Group, MidasVault, and HuiLink have forged a strategic partnership to deliver next-generation solutions built on Web3 technology and digital assets. By combining their expertise, they have created a fully integrated, end-to-end payment ecosystem that streamlines transactions across all touchpoints. This holistic approach redefines global payment experiences by addressing the entire end-to-end payment journey. From on-ramp to off-ramp, the integrated next-gen ecosystem enables near real-time settlements while empowering businesses to scale internationally with confidence.
During the event, the partnership presented a comprehensive demonstration of the next-gen payment lifecycle, highlighting the seamless integration of each and every stage within the end-to-end ecosystem:
- Payment Collection – HuiLink's Digital Asset Payment Gateway provides businesses with a streamlined solution for accepting digital asset payments while supporting leading public blockchains and traditional fiat transactions. It delivers near-instant settlement, real-time balance visibility, and automated currency conversion, ensuring global liquidity without operational complexity. To strengthen this capability, HuiLink integrates its Embedded Compliance framework, which incorporates advanced KYC and AML screenings performed by trusted third-party providers directly at the protocol level. This seamless combination of payment innovation and compliance automation provides robust support for regulatory and compliance requirements, enabling frictionless onboarding while safeguarding user privacy — making cross-border payment collection fast and trusted.
- Transaction Flow – South Pacific Group powers the core infrastructure of the payment journey through its Integrated Asset Management Platform, designed for real-time liquidity orchestration and multi-market settlement at scale. Leveraging blockchain-based transparency and smart contract automation, the platform facilitates efficient reconciliation, enhances risk management, and supports compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Its architecture enables the routing of both digital assets and fiat currencies, improving transaction speed and cost efficiency while maintaining strong security and audit capabilities. This integrated approach helps address fragmentation in cross-border payment flows, creating a streamlined network with a trusted fintech infrastructure.
- Settlement & Payout – MidasVault's Multi-Channel Payout Solutions provide businesses with rapid, flexible access to funds worldwide. Supporting both digital assets and traditional fiat, the platform offers virtual and physical cards powered by major networks, supporting acceptance in over 200 countries and regions. Businesses can benefit from rapid card issuance, seamless currency conversion, and automated exchange rate optimisation, making cross-border payments as smooth as domestic transactions. With built-in compliance and audit reporting, MidasVault streamlines cross-border settlements, including payroll, supplier payments, and marketing spend, empowering businesses to operate efficiently and securely worldwide.
Together, these three pillars form a holistic, end-to-end ecosystem that bridges traditional finance and Web3 – all while complementing existing financial infrastructures. The strategic partnership empowers businesses to scale globally with confidence, unlocking new opportunities in regions where traditional infrastructure has struggled to keep pace.
Speaking at the event, Ting Zhang, Vice President, South Pacific Group, shared, "Cross-border payments today demand more than just speed – they require trust, compliance, and collaboration.
