Client Profile
Two competing digital payments platforms — one in Singapore, one in the Philippines — seeking to merge and create a regional leader.
The Challenge
Aligning valuations, governance structures, and regulatory frameworks across two jurisdictions with different financial regulations and corporate laws.
Our Approach
Nirji served as exclusive advisor to both parties, designing a merger-of-equals structure with proportional board representation. We coordinated regulatory filings with MAS and BSP simultaneously.
Solution Delivered
Successfully merged both entities into a single holding company domiciled in Singapore, creating a combined platform processing $500M+ in annual transaction volume.
