Founder story

Our Story

“I started Money Pasar while building my own business, Yunnova. As a small importer trading goods across borders, I experienced firsthand how difficult it was to move money internationally. Other cross-border traders share the same plight. Payments were slow, causing shipment delays. Fees were unclear, and exchange rates were terrible. One of the major causes of this predicament is that - Southeast Asia, while it is a geographical concept, its countries are rather segregated. Every nation has its own compliance and payment systems, and they are vastly different from one another. The region lacks efficient interconnectivity, particularly in money movement.

An observation I made is that due to this segregation and gap in financial connectivity, every transaction is forced to go through banks and the SWIFT system, incurring FX spreads and settlement delays.

That does not make sense.

Money Pasar was built from this insight. Instead of routing every payment across borders, we match the monetary flows between businesses within the borders, allowing funds to move locally on both sides. This reduces cost, improves speed, and removes unnecessary intermediaries. Our goal is to achieve borderless payments, and sending money overseas should be as simple as a local transfer.”

The Story Continues

“I spent my entire life moving in between India, Singapore and Indonesia. Having done that the entire concept of transferring money between these countries when making such huge movements became a pain point for my family. I was too young to understand why, but all I knew was the pain it caused us; to me even as a young child I asked myself why?

That does not make sense.

Years later in University, I met my good friend and now business partner Lawrence and listened to his story and vision for Money Pasar. I realised that the issues my family faced was the same for businesses, and his drive to solve this problem resonated with me and I immediately thought about my family, and that this was what I was waiting for. Finally, I can make an impact on enabling numerous family businesses to suffer less and worry less about having to spend more of their own hard earned money just to see it in their own account.

That was the change that Money Pasar was built to bring, and it will.”
