SINGAPORE,  Sep 03, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Tech Week Singapore 2026 returns to the Sands Expo & Convention Centre on 29–30 September 2026. Organised by global events producer CloserStill Media, this year’s edition, themed “The Infrastructure Era”, will welcome Mr Tan Kiat How, Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information, as Guest of Honour on the first day of the event.

Tech Week Singapore 2026 will see the return of its flagship co-located shows, including Cloud & AI Infrastructure, DevOps Live, Cyber Security World, Big Data & AI World, and Data Centre World. The 2026 edition is set to host over 600 regional and international speakers with special conference theatres.

“As AI moves from experimentation into enterprise operations, the question for technology leaders is no longer whether to adopt new systems, but whether the infrastructure beneath them is ready. Across Asia, that means focusing on the foundations required to scale responsibly, including resilient infrastructure, strong governance, sustainable usage of energy and the right technical capabilities,” said CloserStill Media’s Managing Director for Asia Pacific, Andy Kiwanuka. “Now in its 12th edition, Tech Week Singapore remains a major meeting point for the region’s technology ecosystem. With the launch of Tech Week Shanghai earlier this year, we are building on that foundation to extend these conversations across Asia, connecting government, enterprise leaders and the infrastructure ecosystem shaping the next phase of digital growth.”

What’s New at Tech Week Singapore 2026

• This year’s show marks the first time the Open Compute Project (OCP) will host OCP Southeast Asia Tech Day at Data Centre World Asia, as industry leaders convene to explore how open hardware and next-generation infrastructure are accelerating Asia’s digital infrastructure growth.
• For the first time, Cyber Security World Asia will introduce a Live Vehicle Cyber Hackathon. The competition challenges participants to test a vehicle’s cyber defences, driving innovation in AI-enabled vehicle security while bringing together future cybersecurity talent.
• Big Data & AI World will also host an AI Consultation Clinic by Beyondsoft, where enterprises can learn how to harness data and translate them into AI-driven business solutions.

These new additions reinforce Tech Week Singapore’s role as the region’s premier platform for technology decision-makers, as digital infrastructure and AI evolve hand-in-hand to unlock true enterprise transformation.

ZEX PR WIRE
INFO@ZEXPRWIRE.COM

Dubai, UAE, 1st September 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Financial technology firm OrbitX has announced the rollout of stablecoin-driven QR payments across more than 15 international markets, expanding access to cost-effective financial tools for businesses, remote professionals, and digital workers in emerging economies. The deployment begins immediately in Vietnam and the Philippines, with additional market releases scheduled over the coming weeks.

The launch targets a persistent structural imbalance in international commerce: while talent and enterprises in emerging markets participate in the global digital economy, local banking systems impose heavy costs when receiving, converting, and spending foreign income. Traditional correspondent banks frequently charge 3 to 5 percent foreign exchange markups on U.S. dollar conversions, alongside settlement delays of three to five business days.

For a growing technology business or digital agency spending $15,000 monthly on international software services, cloud infrastructure, or remote contractors, standard foreign exchange surcharges accumulate to annual losses between $5,400 and $9,000. OrbitX resolves these operational bottlenecks by providing stablecoin-powered settlement rails that execute transactions instantly with transparent pricing.

Through the integrated OrbitX platform, users gain access to a complete financial management suite:

• Named Virtual Accounts: Dedicated account details across major international currencies—including USD, EUR, GBP, AED, NGN, BRL, and MXN—allowing international clients to send funds that settle directly into self-custodial wallets.
• Global Payouts: Fast international transfer functionality covering more than 80 destination countries with real-time clearing.
• Visa Debit Access: Globally accepted payment cards valid across 150 million merchant locations.
• Local QR Settlement: Instant point-of-sale conversion, allowing users to scan local QR codes at neighborhood merchants and settle payments directly from stablecoin balances in local fiat currencies like Vietnamese dong or Philippine pesos.

The inclusion of localized QR capabilities completes the utility loop for stablecoin holders. In markets where physical credit card terminals are rare but QR codes are ubiquitous—such as street markets, taxis, corner grocers, and pharmacies—OrbitX enables account holders to spend digital dollar earnings instantly without establishing local bank accounts or utilizing physical currency exchange counters.

Operating strictly on a self-custodial model, OrbitX ensures that account holders retain full control of their private cryptographic keys. Assets are never held in centralized corporate accounts, eliminating counterparty risks and protecting customer capital from third-party banking disruptions.

“OrbitX was built specifically for the millions of entrepreneurs, startups, and remote workers who deliver world-class work while enduring excessive financial friction,” said Ankitt Gaur, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of OrbitX. “A small software team in Lagos or an independent developer in Manila deserves access to the exact same high-efficiency financial infrastructure as a company operating in Silicon Valley. Enabling direct QR payments at local counters is a major step toward equalizing financial access worldwide.”

Gaur added regarding retail execution: “By allowing stablecoins to settle instantly through regional QR rails, we are taking digital dollars out of isolated wallets and putting them to work in the real economy—from local pharmacies to neighborhood transit. This is how digital currency evolves into a functional, daily financial account.”

Onboarding & Availability

OrbitX QR payments are operational today across Vietnam and the Philippines, with 15+ additional countries coming online in subsequent weeks. Individual registration is instantaneous, while corporate account verification takes 3 to 4 business days. Detailed platform features, developer API documentation, and mobile access are hosted at orbitxpay.com

About OrbitX

OrbitX is an all-in-one, self-custodial borderless finance platform powered by stablecoin technology, available via app and API. Engineered for individuals and commercial entities across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, OrbitX delivers named multi-currency virtual accounts, self-custodial cryptographic wallet security, global payouts to 80+ countries, Visa debit cards, and localized QR code payments. Grounded in its operational charter, “Banking without borders. Custody without compromise,” OrbitX provides global financial tools to emerging market participants.

Fingerprint Boston in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, now accepts FD-258 fingerprint cards mailed from overseas, inspects and digitizes them for submission, and coordinates apostille, translation and return shipping so Americans living abroad complete a background check requirement without traveling to the United States.

Tewksbury, MA, United States, 31st Aug 2026 — Fingerprint Boston, a fingerprinting and document services office in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, has expanded its mobile fingerprinting service to employers, care facilities and residents across the Greater Boston area. The service brings Live Scan digital capture and FD-258 ink card fingerprinting to a client’s location. A technician travels with the capture equipment, fingerprints individuals or groups on site and reviews each set of prints for quality before leaving.

Who the service is for

The expansion responds to two groups. The first are employers whose new hires must complete a fingerprint-based background check as a condition of employment or licensing, including healthcare facilities, schools, security firms, financial services firms and contractors. On-site capture allows a group to be fingerprinted in a single visit during the workday. The second is residents who have difficulty reaching an office appointment, including people in assisted living, individuals recovering from illness or surgery and caregivers who cannot leave a dependent. The service is available at private residences by appointment.

Service area and scheduling

Mobile visits are available throughout Metro Boston, including Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Newton, Quincy and Lowell, with extended coverage into Worcester County and southern New Hampshire by arrangement. Visits are scheduled in advance and quoted by group size and location. Fingerprint Boston also provides in-person service at its Tewksbury office by appointment. Office rates are $49.95 for an FD-258 ink card set, $65 for Live Scan capture and $125 for FBI background check submission support.

Some background checks required by Massachusetts state agencies must be completed through the state’s designated fingerprint vendor and cannot be performed by a private provider. Employers and applicants are advised to confirm with the requesting agency which type of check applies before scheduling any appointment.

“Employers were sending new hires across town one at a time and losing half a day each,” said Hanson Webb, owner of Fingerprint Boston. “Bringing the equipment to the workplace completes the same requirement in one visit.”

Webb has operated a document services business in Tewksbury since 2007. The office serves individuals and employers across Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire.

Employers and residents can request a mobile fingerprinting quote at https://fingerprintboston.com/mobile-fingerprinting/. Information on digital capture is available at https://fingerprintboston.com/live-scan-fingerprinting/.

About Fingerprint Boston

Fingerprint Boston is a fingerprinting and document services office located at 1215 Main St, Unit 115, Tewksbury, Massachusetts. Services include Live Scan fingerprinting, FD-258 ink card capture, background check submission support, mobile on-site fingerprinting, apostille coordination and certified translation for individuals and employers across Greater Boston, Worcester County and southern New Hampshire. Office appointments are available Monday through Friday, 10 AM to 5 PM Eastern. Additional information is available at https://fingerprintboston.com.

Fingerprint Boston in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, now accepts FD-258 fingerprint cards mailed from overseas, inspects and prepares them for submission, and assists with apostille, translation and return shipping so Americans living abroad complete a background check requirement without traveling to the United States.

Tewksbury, MA, United States, 31st Aug 2026 — Fingerprint Boston, a fingerprinting and document services office in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, has launched a remote fingerprint processing service for United States citizens who live outside the country and need an FBI background check for purposes such as foreign residency, work authorization, professional licensing or adoption.

The service allows applicants to complete the fingerprint capture step where they live and mail the card to Massachusetts rather than traveling to the United States. According to the US Department of State, embassies and consulates abroad do not provide fingerprinting services, which has left many Americans overseas without a clear path to complete the requirement.

How the service works

Applicants have their fingerprints taken on a standard FD-258 card by a local provider in their country of residence, typically a police station or a private fingerprinting service. They then mail the completed card to Fingerprint Boston’s office in Tewksbury, MA. On arrival, technicians inspect the card for print quality and completeness. Cards that pass inspection are scanned on a high-resolution fingerprint scanner and converted to digital format. Fingerprint Boston prepares the fingerprint materials for submission and assists applicants with the FBI background-check process.

When the applicant’s destination country requires additional steps, Fingerprint Boston coordinates the apostille processing and certified translation of the completed report. The company then ships the document package to the applicant’s address abroad.

Card inspection before submission

The company reports that the most common reason mailed cards fail is print quality, including smudged ridges, incomplete rolls, missing signatures and damage during shipping. Each card is checked before scanning, and applicants are notified if a new card is needed before the materials are prepared for submission.

Fingerprint Boston recommends that applicants request two complete card sets from their local provider and ship cards flat between rigid backing to limit damage in transit. Applicants are advised to confirm with the authority requesting the document whether an apostille, a translation or both are required.

“People living abroad were being told to fly home for a 15-minute appointment,” said Hanson Webb, owner of Fingerprint Boston. “The card can travel instead of the person. Our role is to ensure the card that arrives is accepted and to assist with the next steps.”

Webb has operated a document services business in Tewksbury since 2007. The office also provides Live Scan fingerprinting, FD-258 ink card capture, apostille coordination and certified translation for residents and employers in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire.

Full details on the remote service are available at https://fingerprintboston.com/fbi-background-check-apostille-abroad/. A guide for applicants on obtaining fingerprints while overseas is published at https://fingerprintboston.com/blog/how-to-get-fingerprinted-overseas-fbi-background-check/.

HUIYU FINANCE EXPO HONG KONG 2026 will take place on September 22–23, bringing together financial institutions, FinTech companies, technology providers, investors, and industry professionals. The event will explore cross-border finance, digital assets, payments, regulatory developments, and emerging financial technologies.

Hong Kong S.A.R., 24th Aug 2026 — HUIYU FINANCE EXPO HONG KONG 2026 will take place in Hong Kong from September 22–23, 2026, bringing together financial institutions, FinTech companies, digital asset and blockchain businesses, payment service providers, professional investors, and industry experts from across the global financial ecosystem.

Under the theme “Connecting Hong Kong · A Decade of Growth,” the two-day event will focus on the continuing transformation of global financial markets, with discussions covering financial technology, cross-border finance, digital assets, blockchain, payments, regulatory developments, and emerging financial infrastructure.

As financial markets continue to accelerate their digital transformation, technologies including artificial intelligence, blockchain, and digital assets are reshaping established financial services and market infrastructure. At the same time, regulatory frameworks across major financial centers continue to evolve in areas such as digital finance, investor protection, anti-money laundering, and cross-border capital flows.

Against this backdrop, balancing innovation, efficiency, security, and compliance has become an increasingly important priority for financial institutions and FinTech companies worldwide.

Building a Cross-Border and Digital Finance Ecosystem

HUIYU FINANCE EXPO HONG KONG 2026 will focus on several areas shaping the future of the financial industry, including cross-border finance, FinTech, blockchain technology, digital assets, payment technology, financial infrastructure, and regulatory compliance.

The event plans to bring together financial institutions, technology platforms, industry service providers, professional investors, and financial specialists from different markets.

Through keynote presentations, panel discussions, exhibitions, industry networking, and business-matching sessions, the Expo aims to facilitate greater engagement between established financial institutions and emerging FinTech companies.

Rather than concentrating on a single segment of the financial sector, HUIYU FINANCE EXPO is designed to connect participants across the broader financial value chain, from traditional financial services and technology infrastructure to payments, compliance, digital finance, and investment-related services.

The objective is to provide a platform where companies and professionals from different areas of the industry can exchange perspectives, explore partnerships, and identify potential areas for commercial collaboration.

Hong Kong’s Role as an International Financial Hub

As one of the world’s major international financial centers and an important gateway connecting Mainland China with global capital markets, Hong Kong has a well-established financial ecosystem encompassing banks, securities firms, asset managers, FinTech companies, and international professional service providers.

In recent years, the development of digital finance and financial technology has further accelerated the integration of emerging technologies with Hong Kong’s established financial infrastructure.

HUIYU FINANCE EXPO has selected Hong Kong as a key destination in its international event series, reflecting the city’s role in connecting Mainland China, Asia, and global financial markets.

The Hong Kong event is intended to provide financial companies, technology firms, investors, and industry professionals from different countries and regions with opportunities for direct dialogue, industry networking, and business collaboration.

Industry Leaders to Discuss the Future of Global Finance

HUIYU FINANCE EXPO HONG KONG 2026 is expected to welcome representatives from across the financial and FinTech industries to discuss major developments influencing global markets.

Key areas of discussion are expected to include:

* Global financial market developments
* Financial technology and innovation
* Digital assets and blockchain ecosystems
* Trading security and investor protection
* Cross-border finance and payment technologies
* Regulatory and compliance developments
* Financial infrastructure and emerging technologies

In addition to conference sessions, the Expo will feature dedicated exhibition and business networking areas, providing financial institutions, FinTech companies, technology providers, and industry partners with opportunities to showcase their brands, present solutions, and establish new commercial relationships.

By combining conference content, exhibitions, and business networking within a single event, HUIYU FINANCE EXPO aims to create an environment where industry insights, technological capabilities, and commercial opportunities can connect more efficiently.

Huiyu Awards to Highlight Trading Security and Industry Standards

The event also plans to host the annual Huiyu Awards, an industry program focused on trading security, service quality, professional standards, and the long-term development of the financial ecosystem.

The awards are expected to bring together traders, brokers, industry experts, and financial market representatives for industry recognition and professional exchange.

Through the program, HUIYU FINANCE EXPO aims to encourage greater industry attention to trading security, investor protection, professional standards, and regulatory compliance, while recognizing organizations that contribute to the development of a more sustainable financial ecosystem.

From Hong Kong to Global Financial Markets

HUIYU FINANCE EXPO is promoted by Hong Kong Huiyu Finance Group Limited, a financial media and industry platform based in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

The organization has maintained a long-term focus on financial markets including Hong Kong and U.S. equities, foreign exchange, precious metals, blockchain, and cross-border finance, connecting market participants through financial information, industry events, and business networking.

Following the Hong Kong edition, HUIYU FINANCE EXPO plans to further expand its international presence.

According to the event’s development roadmap, future editions are planned across major international financial and FinTech markets, including Singapore, Dubai, Sydney, Limassol, and Hong Kong.

Starting from Hong Kong and connecting Asia with global financial markets, HUIYU FINANCE EXPO aims to develop a long-term, open, and internationally connected platform for the global financial industry.

Belobaba and OGold partnership extends OGold’s precious-metals infrastructure into BELOBABA’s international financial ecosystem, serving more than 12,000 members across 40+ countries

Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 27th Aug 2026 – OGold, the Shariah-compliant Gold and Silver-backed super app, and BELOBABA, a global financial services platform, announced a strategic partnership to integrate physical Gold and Silver into the BELOBABA ecosystem. The collaboration enables users to buy and sell in grams directly from their account balance, with each holding physically backed, fully allocated to the client and insured, while retaining the flexibility to request physical possession.

The partnership represents a significant step in OGold’s international expansion, bringing its precious-metals infrastructure to BELOBABA’s growing global community of more than 12,000 members across over 40 countries. BELOBABA provides its customers with access to an integrated suite of financial services spanning multi-jurisdiction accounts, payment cards, international transfers, digital asset services, investment solutions, and corporate services.

Through the integration, BELOBABA users will be able to buy, sell and hold physically backed Gold and Silver directly within the platform. Each holding is fully allocated and insured, providing greater flexibility and liquidity. With no lock-up period or separate buying and selling fees, users can sell their holdings at any time and receive the corresponding value in their USD balance. Physical possession can also be requested, with delivery available across the UAE. 

“Our vision is to make Gold and Silver as accessible and connected as any modern financial asset,” said Bandar Alothman, Founder, OGold. “This partnership represents an important step in OGold’s international growth. BELOBABA has built a financial ecosystem that connects customers across multiple markets, and integrating OGold into that ecosystem allows us to bring physically backed precious metals to a much broader global audience. As we expand globally, it will help connect Gold and Silver with how people manage and grow their wealth digitally.”

The partnership adds physically backed precious metals to an ecosystem already connecting multi-jurisdiction banking access, international cards, payments, digital assets, investments and corporate financial services. For OGold, it extends the company’s embedded precious-metals capabilities into a platform with an established international user base and financial footprint.

“Gold and silver have preserved wealth for thousands of years. What was missing was the ability to access them the way you access any modern financial service — instantly, from anywhere, with full liquidity. OGold has built the most advanced precious metals infrastructure available today, and their track record speaks for itself. Bringing OGold into the BELOBABA ecosystem is a defining moment — our global community can now hold real assets alongside their banking, payments and digital services, all in one seamless experience,” said Lluís Mas Luque, Founder & Chairman, BELOBABA.

The partnership further strengthens OGold’s embedded precious-metals infrastructure, enabling financial platforms to integrate access to physical Gold and Silver directly into their existing customer journeys. This model supports OGold’s global expansion by integrating its Gold and Silver infrastructure into established financial ecosystems across multiple international markets.

Together, OGold and BELOBABA are building a more integrated financial experience that connects everyday financial services with seamless access to real assets.

U.S. fintech firm Anytap has introduced its stablecoin-loaded Visa cards to enable direct crypto spending across Asia without bank accounts. Featuring dedicated user deposit architectures and flexible fund controls, Anytap is also preparing its white-label corporate payment infrastructure, Anytap Pay.

United States, 26th Aug 2026 — U.S.-headquartered fintech company Anytap has officially announced the rollout of its stablecoin-loaded Visa card service across key Asian markets, alongside plans for its upcoming business-to-business payment solution, Anytap Pay. Designed to solve the friction of real-world digital asset spending, the new service allows users to convert and spend stablecoins directly at global Visa merchants without requiring a traditional bank account.

Through an asset-light model partnering with licensed regional financial institutions, Anytap simplifies the multi-step process of exchanging crypto to fiat currency. The platform provides both virtual and physical Visa debit cards, accessible to eligible users who complete an online Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process.

“Connecting digital assets to everyday payments has historically required tedious exchange withdrawals and bank transfers,” said a representative from Anytap. “Our goal is to eliminate these intermediate steps, giving consumers direct spending power while delivering low-volatility payment efficiency.”

As more people hold cryptocurrency, demand for spending it in everyday life has grown alongside it. Yet connecting digital assets to real-world spending has never been simple: users typically had to convert crypto to fiat on an exchange, withdraw to a bank account, and only then pay by card or bank transfer.

Crypto-loaded cards compress that multi-step process into one. In particular, loading low-volatility stablecoins onto a card lets users spend the digital assets they hold without the risk of value loss, a model that has been spreading quickly. Cardholders can pay directly at merchants worldwide that accept global card networks such as Visa, with no separate currency conversion step required.

Three Core Values of Stablecoin Cards

First is financial access. Users in regions where opening a bank account is difficult or restricted can still obtain a card through an online identity verification process and gain access to international payment networks. Second is payment efficiency. Because there is no intermediate step of converting assets into fiat currency, users can spend the stablecoins they hold directly, saving both time and cost. Third is global mobility. For travelers and migrant workers who move between countries as part of daily life, the ability to spend from a single card without currency exchange is a practical, tangible benefit.

What Sets Anytap Apart

Anytap is a U.S.-headquartered fintech company operating in this stablecoin card market with a service tailored specifically to Asia. Anytap cards — both virtual and physical — run entirely on the Visa network, and users need only complete a supported country’s KYC process to obtain a card online, without a bank account.

Anytap’s deposit architecture automatically issues a dedicated deposit address to each individual user. Unlike a shared-address model, where deposits from multiple users must be manually matched to the correct account, the deposit address itself identifies the user, structurally reducing the risk of matching errors or processing delays.

Anytap allows each user to issue up to three cards, and also supports balance transfers between a user’s own cards as well as withdrawals of loaded funds to an external wallet, giving users flexibility to manage funds as their situation requires. The cross-border transaction fee is set at 1% of the transaction amount plus $0.30 per transaction, and the minimum top-up amount is kept low, at 30 USDT, to lower the barrier to entry for smaller users.

Rather than obtaining every financial license itself, Anytap has adopted an asset-light model, partnering with financial institutions and card issuing and payment partners that meet the regulatory requirements of each country. This allows the company to adapt flexibly to different regulatory environments while rapidly expanding across Asia’s key markets, starting with South Korea, Japan and Indonesia.

Beyond its card payment service, Anytap is also preparing Anytap Pay, a business-facing, white-label cross-border payment solution for gaming companies, fintechs, exchanges and e-commerce businesses, extending its reach beyond individual consumers into corporate payment infrastructure.
