Razer will also explore potential investment opportunities in channel and content partners.
Razer Fintech
This is one of the largest offline-to-online digital payment networks in Southeast Asia and has processed billions of dollars in total payment value since its establishment in 2018. Razer Fintech will utilize both its business verticals for this initiative.
Razer Fintech’s B2B vertical, Razer Merchant Services (RMS) will help new and existing merchants and platform partners via cashflow assistance, fee waivers and customized marketing programs for essential services and online businesses. Razer Fintech’s B2C vertical, Razer Pay will offer special packages such as reduced rates and value-added promotions. In addition, Razer Fintech will selectively explore potential investment opportunities with startups and businesses.
Razer Fintech’s objectives are closely aligned with the COVID-19 Fintech initiatives announced by the Singapore FinTech Association (SFA) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore on April 8, 2020. Razer Fintech and SFA will be collaborating to address the key issues identified, which are 1) Saving Fintech jobs 2) Lowering Business Costs 3) Facilitating Sales and 4) Stimulating Funding and identifying Fintech companies that would benefit from this program.

This includes companies in sectors such as autonomous food and beverage, delivery and logistics, and healthcare.
