Capital A with UnionDigital Bank Collaboration
SHARE

KUALA LUMPUR, 31 JULY 2023 – Capital A unveils a strategic alliance with UnionDigital Bank, Union Bank of the Philippines’ digital banking arm. This partnership incorporates three of Capital A’s key subsidiaries: AirAsia, airasia Superapp, and BigPay, extending their presence across ASEAN nations including Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Powerhouses United to Redefine Travel and Fintech UnionDigital Bank’s mission within this collaboration is to implement embedded finance in partnership with BigPay on the airasia Superapp, AirAsia’s principal booking platform in the Philippines. The fusion of these industry leaders aims to revolutionise the travel booking process, presenting an enriched and seamless experience for the Superapp users.

Groundbreaking Financial Solutions for Improved Accessibility In an ambitious effort to streamline how customers plan and finance their travels, this alliance will offer flexible payment solutions, including a ‘Fly Now, Pay Later’ scheme via the airasia Superapp. With exclusive co-branding deals, the partnership aims to make fintech more convenient and accessible for Filipinos, offering an innovative shift in their travel planning process.

“For Capital A, the vision has always been to provide low cost, best value services, connecting people and realising dreams, for people of Asean and beyond. With UnionDigital as our proud partner, we are now on our way to create a future where travel meets innovative financial solutions that facilitate everyone’s dream journeys with unparalleled ease. We look forward to working with UnionDigital to redefine travel coupled with fintech as an accessible and enriching experience,” said Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A.

He added, “In the Philippines, research has shown that 7 out of 10 of our customers diligently save up for their travel plans, carefully budgeting to ensure they can explore the world comfortably. It is this inspiring dedication that fuels our determination to break down barriers and create a more connected and inclusive global community.

Empowering the Community with Expanded Financial Services BigPay’s partnership with UnionDigital Bank underlines its foray into the Philippine market, offering secure and efficient financial services to enhance the financial wellness of the Philippine community.

“As tourism flourishes in the region, we are excited to elevate the end-to-end travel and payment experience of Filipinos through our collaboration with Union Digital Bank and airasia. Through this partnership, BigPay is one step closer to making our financial services highly accessible in the Philippines, with the mission of empowering people to level up their lives, one transaction at a time.” said Zubin Rada Krishnan, CEO of BigPay. “With these key partnerships, we believe we can continue to make lives better in the Philippines through innovative and smart financial services,” he adds.

Driving Innovation and Economic Growth Unveiled at the ABAC press conference, these collaborations mark a significant turning point for the local banking and travel sectors in the Philippines. “We are forging a path toward greater convenience, accessibility, and innovation to empower Filipinos to live better lives,” stated Henry Aguda, President and CEO, UnionDigital Bank. The partnership not only sets a new standard in these sectors but also paves the way for a brighter future with UnionDigital Bank, BigPay, and AirAsia committed to uplifting the lives of Filipinos.

This landmark partnership demonstrates the shared dedication of UnionDigital Bank, AirAsia, and BigPay to bring positive change and stimulate economic growth in the Philippines, leveraging synergies that will inevitably empower and uplift the lives of Filipinos.
