MiFinity Expands Payment Options in Asia, Strengthening Regional Commitment
MiFinity, a trusted global eWallet provider serving merchants and consumers worldwide, is deepening its presence in Asia with additional local payment options. As part of its continuous commitment to supporting the region’s surging digital economy, MiFinity has launched Rabbit Line Pay in Thailand alongside LinkAja and direct bank transfer in Indonesia, with more payment methods slated for integration throughout 2025.
MiFinity has built a strong reputation as a go-to payment provider for businesses breaking into new markets, particularly those requiring fast, secure, and fully compliant transaction solutions. With a highly engaged and rapidly growing user base, MiFinity eWallet users in Asia are actively transacting across a variety of digital services, making MiFinity a strategic partner for merchants looking to boost conversion rates, improve customer satisfaction, and strengthen trust across the region.
Commenting on this expansion, Paul Kavanagh, CEO of MiFinity, said: “Asia represents a key growth market for MiFinity, and we are committed to providing merchants with the best possible solutions to reach their customers in this region. By integrating popular local payment methods and expanding our currency support, we are making it easier for businesses to offer seamless, trusted payment experiences. Our investment in the region underscores our dedication to supporting both our merchants and our highly engaged eWallet users, ensuring they have access to the payment options that best suit their needs.”
Supporting Asia’s Thriving Digital Economy
The digital payments market in Asia is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing smartphone penetration, rising financial inclusion, and the booming demand for digital services. According to industry research, Southeast Asia alone is home to over 350 million digital wallet users, with eWallet transactions projected to account for a growing share of online payments.
For merchants looking to expand into these high-growth markets, offering trusted, localised payment options is essential to attracting and retaining customers. By integrating Rabbit Line Pay, LinkAja, and direct bank transfers, MiFinity provides businesses with the tools they need to tap into these opportunities, delivering seamless payment experiences that align with local consumer preferences.
Continued Growth and Future Expansions
The rollout of Rabbit Line Pay, LinkAja, and Indonesian bank transfers marks the newest milestone in MiFinity’s widening footprint in Asia, with additional payment integrations scheduled for later in 2025. As appetite for digital wallet transactions and alternative payment methods accelerates, MiFinity remains committed to evolving its offerings, empowering merchants to capture new customers and deliver secure, consumer-centric payment experiences across Asia’s diverse markets.

Books on Wheels: DigiPlus Foundation Brings Mobile Library to Boost Literacy Among Aurora’s Young Learners
DigiPlus Foundation continues to champion inclusive learning by empowering young learners in Aurora Province through a meaningful partnership with youth-led volunteer group Sikat Aurora.
Following six months of sustained support for Sikat Aurora’s Abot Ko ang Libro storytelling initiative, an activity that brings reading sessions and learning spaces closer to children in local communities, DigiPlus Foundation and GameZone surprised the group with a new mobile library designed to support their mission beyond a single location. The mobile library will allow Sikat Aurora volunteers to roam across Aurora Province, reaching more children with books, learning materials, and storytelling activities.
The donation strengthens Sikat Aurora’s efforts to uplift nonformal education as a vital complement to classroom learning, especially for children with limited access to books and educational resources. By taking learning on the road, the mobile library transforms storytelling sessions into a scalable, sustainable program that can reach far-flung communities across the province.
RJ Belen, Founder of Sikat Aurora, said: “We are truly grateful for the trust and support of DigiPlus Foundation. This mobile library will help us reach more young learners in Aurora and strengthen our mission of nurturing a love for reading. Through nonformal education, we help support what children learn in school and create spaces where learning feels accessible, enjoyable, and empowering.”
“This will allow us to bring learning to children who may not always have access to educational materials, helping them build confidence and curiosity as they grow.”
Neil Orillaneda, Program Manager for Technology Education of DigiPlus Foundation, said: “Our goal is simple: no learner left behind. By supporting initiatives like Sikat Aurora’s mobile library, we help bridge learning gaps and ensure that children, regardless of location or circumstance, have access to educational resources that support their growth.”
The mobile library donation reflects DigiPlus Foundation’s belief that learning happens not only inside classrooms, but also within communities through shared stories, accessible resources, and partnerships that place children at the center of development.
The mobile library donation is part of a Php 1-million contribution from GameZone during the International Series Philippines (ISP), channeled through DigiPlus Foundation to support a range of community initiatives nationwide. Beyond education, the donation also funds livelihood support for local weavers, health program assistance for the LGBTQ+ community, aid for persons with disabilities in Cebu, and flood rescue equipment for Manila, reflecting a holistic approach to community development that addresses education, health, inclusion, and disaster preparedness.

Following the launch of its inaugural women-focused VALORANT tournament La Imperia, the Insurgence Gaming Company has announced its second competitive initiative, MOBA Legends 5v5 Discord Play-Ins, a series of open community tournaments created to make organised competition more accessible to emerging players.
While La Imperia introduced a visibility-led invitational format, the MOBA Legends 5v5 Discord Play-Ins take a different approach. The series is built around open participation and will be hosted entirely online, with all tournament operations managed through Discord. This allows teams from across India to compete in a structured setting without the restrictions often associated with invite-only events.
The Play-Ins are designed as a starting point for players and teams who want to experience organised competition. Matches will be played in a 5v5 MOBA Draft Pick format, with scheduling, match reporting, and communication handled through dedicated Discord channels.
The announcement continues Insurgence Gaming Company’s early focus on grassroots esports. The company was created to address gaps in India’s competitive ecosystem, particularly at the amateur and semi-professional level where consistent tournament opportunities are still limited.
Speaking on the launch, Jasper Shabin, Founder of the Insurgence Gaming Company, said: “With La Imperia, we focused on visibility. With the Discord Play-Ins, the focus shifts to access. Competitive players need regular places to play, improve, and test themselves, not just one-off tournaments. MOBA Legends 5v5 is one of the most accessible competitive titles on mobile, which makes it a strong fit for an open, community-driven format.”
Beyond competition, the Discord Play-Ins are also intended to build a sense of continuity. Players will have access to channels dedicated to match coordination, tournament updates, and post-game discussion, helping teams stay connected beyond a single tournament run.
With the MOBA Legends 5v5 Discord Play-Ins, the Insurgence Gaming Company continues to shape its identity around community-first formats, pairing visibility-led initiatives like La Imperia with open competitive pathways that support long-term grassroots growth in Indian esports.
