OSL Group is broadening from a crypto trading platform to a global payment innovator. Driving this change is the company’s PayFi vision: building a regulated, durable
infrastructure that bridges traditional finance and digital assets worldwide.
In regions where cross-border payments are slow and costly, OSL connects local banks, fintech startups, and traditional companies to foster a crypto ecosystem. The company’s institutional-grade platform, OSL Pay, now supports over 150 cryptocurrencies for credit card-based transactions. It operates active corridors in Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Indonesia, and Vietnam, with plans to expand further in Latin America and Africa.
“Over the past few years, we’ve seen a clear shift: users in these regions have moved from primarily trading crypto to using it for real-world payments,” said Teo Jing Wei, CEO of OSL Pay.
By integrating local bank rails with digital asset settlement—especially stablecoins—OSL is making instant, compliant, and cost-effective transfers a reality. Teo said that market demand
for crypto payments is surging, particularly in emerging markets where local currencies often face persistent devaluation and basic financial services—like opening a bank account—remain out of reach for many.
“Payments are where digital assets can have the biggest impact. Weak banking infrastructure makes blockchain-based payment solutions all the more essential,” said Teo, adding that OSL’s vision is to bridge fiat and cryptocurrencies, enabling flexible, seamless,and borderless payments. “We’re solving real-world bottlenecks for the global community,
supporting economic growth and business development.”

OSL Pay is part of OSL Group’s ambition to establish a global crypto network. Recently announced acquisitions—including Koinsayng in Indonesia, CoinBest in Japan (now OSL
Japan Limited), and Banxa in Canada, which have strengthened the company’s fiat-to-crypto exchange and payment technology—further accelerate its global expansion.
“OSL is committed to becoming a world-class leader in digital asset infrastructure. We’re evolving from a pure crypto exchange into an ecosystem builder—facilitating trading, payments, custody, and much more,” said Teo.
Crucially, regulatory compliance is the backbone of OSL Group’s expansion. The company has assembled a suite of licenses and registration across Hong Kong, Japan, Bermuda,
Australia, and Europe. These credentials enable OSL to operate credibly in markets where regulatory standards are high and institutional trust is essential.
“Licensing isn’t just a box-ticking exercise for us,” Teo said. “It’s the foundation that lets us operate credibly where regulators and institutions demand the highest standards.”
With its PayFi infrastructure, regulatory foundation, and global reach, OSL Group is positioning itself as a connector for the next generation of digital payments. From Hong Kong
to Southeast Asia, from the Middle East to Europe and beyond, the company is laying the rails for widespread adoption—ensuring that when crypto payments go mainstream, OSL’s network is already powering them.
