The collaboration aims to provide secure, efficient, and convenient money transfer services for millions of customers worldwide, with a particular focus on the 39.5 million-strong Chinese diaspora.
This partnership integrates Alipay into ACE’s existing network of more than 375,000 payout locations across 130 countries, offering users the ability to send funds seamlessly and directly to Alipay wallets or bank cards linked to Alipay accounts.
Rashid Ashraf, CEO of ACE Money Transfer, described the partnership as a transformative moment for the company. “By joining forces with Alipay, we’re not just expanding our network; we’re directly impacting millions of lives. This partnership creates a secure and efficient channel for tens of millions of Chinese citizens across the globe to send money to their loved ones, serving as a vital financial lifeline for countless families,” he said.
The partnership is expected to significantly benefit the global Chinese diaspora, offering key advantages such as:

Alipay, operated by Ant Group, has become a cornerstone of digital payments in China and beyond, boasting a vast user base and a robust reputation for reliability. The partnership with ACE Money Transfer is set to further enhance its role in facilitating cross-border remittances.
For ACE Money Transfer, the collaboration marks a key step in its mission to revolutionise the remittance industry. With a focus on providing secure, convenient, and fast services, the company is committed to meeting the needs of a diverse global customer base.
