Singapore fintech MetaComp completes Pre-A+ funding round, eyes rapid Web2.5 expansion

Deal and use of proceeds

MetaComp announced it has closed a Pre-A+ financing round led by a strategic investment arm of a major internet company alongside Spark Venture, with existing shareholders participating and Yibo Capital (义柏资本) acting as exclusive financial adviser. It has been reported that the round raised “tens of millions” of U.S. dollars — coming just three months after MetaComp’s Pre-A round — and the proceeds will be directed at scaling cross‑border payments and wealth products in Asia, Africa and Latin America and building a licensed, AI‑driven end‑to‑end financial services stack.

Licensing, products and technology

The company positions its license holdings as a core moat. MetaComp says it holds a large payment institution licence from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and that affiliated entities hold a “full‑suite” of licences covering cross‑border payments, securities, custody, fund management and RWA token services; it has been reported that these licences underpin its claim to operate a compliant, mixed fiat/stablecoin payments and tokenised‑asset wealth platform. Tech highlights include an in‑house multi‑cloud MPC wallet, StableX (an AI‑enabled FX and liquidity routing engine supporting seamless SWIFT/stablecoin switching) and VisionX (a cross‑rail AML and transaction‑monitoring engine). The firm also markets a WealthX engine for tokenised securities and RWA products.

Scale, team and governance

MetaComp says it already serves clients across 30+ jurisdictions, with reported monthly transaction volumes exceeding $1 billion and assets under management above $500 million; it has been reported that the company achieved full‑year profitability in 2025 and now holds over $100 million in liquid capital after the new round. The leadership team blends payments, traditional finance, compliance and Web3 experience — a mix the company argues is essential to bridge the operational and regulatory gaps between legacy finance and tokenised markets.

Why this matters

Why should Western readers care? Cross‑border payments and tokenised wealth are battlegrounds for the next wave of global fintech infrastructure, especially in emerging markets that face high costs and slow settlement under incumbent systems. MetaComp’s claim of a “Web2.5” hybrid model — and its emphasis on licences and AML controls — speaks to broader market realities: regulators in the U.S., EU and regionally are tightening scrutiny on crypto rails and cross‑border flows, and trade policy or sanctions regimes can suddenly reshape corridors of business. Reportedly, investors such as Spark Venture see a multi‑trillion‑dollar opportunity if compliant, AI‑powered payment stacks can scale in under‑served markets; whether MetaComp can translate licences and tech into a global payments contender remains the key question.
