Singapore-based Aleta Planet, a certified member of UnionPay International, is eyeing Greenergy Holdings, Inc. (GREEN) of agri-entrepreneur Antonio Tiu as partner for the issuance of virtual cards as well as cross-border money remittance services.
Under the proposed collaboration, Aleta Planet will provide its proprietary technology solution to issue co-branded virtual UnionPay cards to individual clients through Greenergy and its affiliates.
This will enable ease of payment collection and a fully digital cross-border money remittance service to UnionPay accounts.
Greenergy, in turn, shall promote the use of virtual accounts and cross border remittance services to the customers and clients of its subsidiaries and affiliates.
Fintech is among Tiu’s overall goals for his business which aims to help Filipino consumers attain financial inclusion, especially the unbanked and underbanked, to have easier access to the financial system.
The deal would pave the way for Greenergy’s development of a fintech arm by providing fully digital cross-border money remittance services, consistent with Tiu's vision of creating a seamless e-commerce landscape using financial technology (fintech) for Filipinos especially agriculture stakeholders to capture global opportunities.
Other services under the planned partnership will include payment acceptance, domestic and cross-border B2B money transfers, e-commerce and white-labelling for financial institutions and corporations and co-branding programs to co-brand partners in relation to the financial technology services it provides.

The goal is to maximize opportunities for business growth, enhance shareholder value and cater to the evolving needs of Filipino consumers especially during this time of the COVID-19 pandemic.
