Wise's Strategy for APAC Growth: Expand, Localise, Collaborate, Repeat

Did you know that Malaysia is Wise’s fastest growing market in APAC and that Asia represents around 20% of revenue today? Following Wise’s expanded presence in Singapore along with new local leadership hires, in this episode of Enterprise Explores, we explore what this signals about the company’s focus and strategy for the rest of the region, including Malaysia, with Shrawan Saraogi, the Asia Pacific Head of Expansion at Wise, formerly known as TransferWise. 

Join us as we explore how Wise changed the status quo and revolutionised the way money moves across the globe, Wise’s recent expansions in the APAC region, including their strategic growth in Singapore and Malaysia, the underlying infrastructure and technology behind Wise’s services, which have made instant, low-cost, and transparent international payments possible, and much more.
