Koocon, \uac00\uc785 with Asia FinTech Alliance\u2026Global Pay \uc0ac\uc5c5 Officially \ud655\uc7a5<\/div>\n

Business data platform company Koocon is expanding global partnerships across Asia by joining 'Asia FinTech Alliance (AFA)', Asia's largest fintech council, as an Affiliate Member. Koocon joined AFA through the Korea FinTech Industry Association, thereby securing a foundation for \ud611\ub825 with fintech networks in 15 Asian countries, and is expected to accelerate global \uacb0\uc81c \uc0ac\uc5c5 \ud655\uc7a5.<\/p>\n

Section 1<\/h2>\n

Koocon (CEO Kim Jong-hyun, KOSDAQ 294570), a business data platform company, announced on the 21st that it is expanding global partnerships across Asia by joining 'Asia FinTech Alliance (hereinafter AFA)', Asia's largest fintech council, as an Affiliate Member.<\/p>\n

AFA is a council participated in by fintech associations from 15 major Asian countries, including Korea, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and India. It aims to promote fintech \ud601\uc2e0, expand \uae08\uc735 inclusion, and enhance \uc5f0\uacb0\uc131 among Asian fintech ecosystems, and is regarded as a representative regional alliance organization that supports the sharing of regulatory trends in each country and networking among industry leaders.<\/p>\n

AFA operates with a structure where individual companies do not directly \uac00\uc785, but acquire Affiliate Member status through national associations. Koocon joined AFA through the Korea FinTech Industry Association, thereby securing a foundation for \ud611\ub825 with fintech networks in 15 Asian countries.<\/p>\n

This \uac00\uc785 is expected to create substantial synergy, aligning with Koocon's ongoing strategy to expand its global pay \uc0ac\uc5c5. Koocon is continuously enhancing its global \uacb0\uc81c infrastructure capabilities by integrating with major global payment companies such as WeChat Pay, UnionPay, and QRIS, Indonesia's standard QR \uacb0\uc81c system.<\/p>\n

Going forward, Koocon aims to partner with over 50 global payment companies in 20 countries worldwide, including major Asian regions. In particular, it plans to actively discover \ud611\ub825 opportunities with promising Asian companies based on the AFA network and further solidify its \uc785\uc9c0 within the global \uacb0\uc81c ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Koocon plans to establish a strategic base in the Asian market through the \uc124\ub9bd of a Singapore subsidiary within the year, and gradually expand its global business from there. Utilizing the network secured through AFA, it intends to build a \uacb0\uc81c infrastructure \ud611\ub825 model optimized for local environments and strengthen its role as a key infrastructure partner supporting the entry of foreign payment companies into the Korean market.<\/p>\n

Kim Jong-hyun, CEO of Koocon, stated, \u201cThrough this AFA \uac00\uc785, we have further strengthened \ud611\ub825 relationships with promising fintech companies across Asia.\u201d He added, \u201cWe will actively leverage the various opportunities gained through the alliance to accelerate our global pay \uc0ac\uc5c5.\u201d He further commented, \u201cBy combining the establishment of our Singapore base with the AFA network, we aim to contribute to enhancing the \uc5f0\uacb0\uc131 of the Asian fintech market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Section 2<\/h2>\n

Koocon's \uac00\uc785 in the Asia FinTech Alliance and the \uc124\ub9bd of its Singapore subsidiary are interpreted as strategic steps to solidify its \uc785\uc9c0 in the global fintech market, extending beyond Asia. It remains to be seen whether Koocon will grow into a key player in the global \uacb0\uc81c ecosystem based on AFA's strong network.<\/p>\n
