2C2P runs a payments platform that lets businesses across Asia accept and process payments from customers however they choose to pay.
2C2P is a payments company that handles the plumbing behind online and in-store transactions across Asia Pacific. When a business wants to accept money from customers, 2C2P connects it to the hundreds of ways people actually pay in the region — credit cards, local bank transfers, e-wallets, QR codes, convenience store payments, and cash. For a merchant, that reach matters because Asia is not one payment market; it is dozens of very different ones, each with its own favorite method.
The company's core product is a payment gateway: the software layer that sits between a merchant's checkout and the many payment networks and banks that move the money. It also sells broader tools on top of that gateway, including services for processing payments, managing payouts, and handling things like installment options. The customers are mostly businesses — e-commerce sites, airlines, online travel platforms, retailers, and app-based services — that would rather plug into one provider than negotiate separately with every bank and wallet in every country.
2C2P makes money mainly by taking a small fee on the payments it processes, plus fees for its added services. Its pitch to customers is breadth and local know-how: one integration, many markets. That is a valuable thing to sell, but it is also a crowded, competitive space, with banks, local processors, and big global payment firms all chasing the same merchants. In 2022, the global payments giant FIS agreed to acquire 2C2P as part of its push deeper into Asian commerce. The deal was announced but did not ultimately close as originally structured, and 2C2P has continued operating as an independent payments platform based in Singapore.
