We are thrilled to announce that Payment Asia has been honoured with the “Best AI-Powered Payment Solution Provider” award at the EDIGEST Brand Awards 2026 — one of Hong Kong’s most prestigious business and brand recognitions.
 
This award is a powerful validation of our belief that AI is the foundation of the next generation of payment infrastructure. It recognises the work we have put into building smarter, faster, and more secure payment solutions for businesses across Asia.
 

What This Award Means to Us

The EDIGEST Brand Awards recognises brands that demonstrate outstanding innovation, market leadership, and customer impact. Being named the Best AI-Powered Payment Solution Provider reflects our commitment to putting AI at the heart of everything we do — from the moment a merchant signs up, to every transaction they process.

AI Smart Merchant Onboarding

We replaced the traditional, paper-heavy onboarding process with an intelligent, fully digital Merchant Onboarding solution. Powered by AI, our system automates KYC checks and compliance reviews, enabling merchants to get up and running in record time — with minimal friction and maximum confidence.

PACO: Our AI Customer Service on WhatsApp

Meet PACO — our flagship generative AI customer service assistant, available 24/7 directly on WhatsApp. Unlike traditional chatbots that rely on fixed menus, PACO uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to truly understand what merchants are asking, delivering instant and accurate answers without ever needing to log into a backend system.

n8n Community Node: Payment Automation Made Easy

We also launched our dedicated n8n Community Node, empowering merchants to seamlessly connect Payment Asia’s payment API into their business workflows — from payment notifications to reconciliation and order triggers — all without complex development work.

Thank You

This recognition belongs to our entire team and to every merchant who has trusted us on their payment journey. We will keep pushing forward, deepening our AI capabilities, and building a payment ecosystem that truly serves the needs of modern businesses.
