Smilepayz

What is Smilepayz and what do they do?

Smilepayz is a local payment infrastructure provider for businesses selling into emerging markets. Founded in 2020, it connects merchants to local wallets and instant payment rails across Asia, Latin America and Africa through a single API integration.

Smilepayz covers 12 local markets, including Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Egypt. Its coverage has grown steadily: real-time processing was added in 2021 and Asia and LATAM expansion followed in 2022. India and Colombia were added in 2024, and the Philippines and Vietnam in 2025.

All Smilepayz solutions are built in-house. This gives the company direct control over routing, risk and performance, without relying on third-party PSPs. Merchants manage day-to-day payment operations from a dashboard designed to work across desktop, tablet and mobile.

Who is it for?

Smilepayz serves merchants in high-growth and high-risk verticals, with dedicated solutions for iGaming, Forex, sports and e-commerce businesses. It suits companies that are expanding into Southeast Asia, South Asia, Latin America or Egypt and need local payment options their customers already use.

The provider is a natural fit for Forex operators. It was recognised as ‘Outstanding Forex Payment Solution Provider – HK’ at WikiEXPO Hong Kong 2026.

Why do businesses choose Smilepayz?

• Same-day settlement. Funds settle on D+0, including weekends and holidays, which keeps cash flow predictable for high-volume operations.
• One integration, many markets. A single API connects merchants to local payment options across 12 markets, so there’s no need to set up providers country by country.

• In-house technology. Owning the full stack lets Smilepayz tune routing and risk controls for higher success rates.
• Round-the-clock support. A 24/7 operations team keeps payments running across time zones.
