For startups and businesses operating across borders, inefficient currency conversion means delayed payments, unpredictable costs, and lost business opportunities. Through this collaboration, J.P. Morgan Payments will serve as a key FX provider to Aspire, strengthening pricing, corridor access, and infrastructure resilience across markets.
The initial phase of the agreement focuses on FX-to-wallet conversion across multiple currencies, including SGD, USD, GBP, EUR and HKD. Aspire customers can now convert and manage funds within their Aspire wallets with institutional-grade infrastructure backing each transaction.
“As Aspire scales, our focus remains clear: delivering powerful banking infrastructure and simplified finances for globally ambitious companies,” said Andrea Baronchelli, CEO and Co-Founder of Aspire. “This collaboration with J.P. Morgan Payments further strengthens our FX strategy, combining institutional scale with fintech flexibility to deliver the competitive pricing and resilient infrastructure our customers need as they grow.”
“At J.P. Morgan Payments, we continue to focus on supporting innovative fintechs that are building for global commerce,” said Christine Tan, APAC Head of FIG Sales at J.P. Morgan Payments. “Collaborating with Aspire reflects a shared commitment to delivering reliable, secure and scalable financial infrastructure for businesses operating across borders.”
“We recognize that the future of the Innovation Economy depends on seamless, integrated financial infrastructure,” said Amy Tan, APAC Head of Tech and Innovation, Global Corporate Banking at J.P. Morgan. “Working with Aspire allows founders to scale at the speed of their ideas.”
J.P. Morgan Payments combines treasury services, trade & working capital, card and merchant services capabilities to help clients pay customers or employees, in different currencies, around the world. It processes more than $10 trillion payments daily, operating in over 160 countries and over 120 currencies.
This collaboration comes as Aspire expands its global infrastructure to support businesses wherever they operate. Over the past year, the company has secured eight licenses and registrations across Australia, Europe and the United States. These regulatory foundations position Aspire to deliver its full finance stack: multicurrency accounts, payments, cards and spend management—across some of the world's most important financial hubs.
