Gaming technology company Razer and telecommunications company Singtel are looking to create one of the largest connected e-payment networks in Southeast Asia by enabling the interoperability of their respective systems, subject to regulatory approvals. The bold step was inked in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to foster strategic collaboration in the areas of e-payments, e-sports, gaming-related digital media and telecommunication services across the region. Razer made a proposal to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in August last year to deliver a nationwide cashless system. The Singtel Group and Razer began collaborating on exclusive gaming initiatives last year. For example, Singtel was the first telco to launch the Razer Phone in Asia in December 2017 and Razer is also supporting Singtel’s community gaming events across Singapore.
