"Sponsor" means the company's logo is on the 2026 sponsor page; a booth number means it is on the exhibitor listing. Some are both.

Payment networks and super-apps (1-5)

The four Grand sponsors, Ant International, Visa, Mastercard and Tencent, run the payment rails most Asian consumers use, and three of them made stablecoin or tokenisation announcements at SFF 2025. Stripe, a sponsor, owns the stablecoin infrastructure company Bridge.

1. Ant International (2B01). Alipay+'s cross-border wallet network and the Antom merchant platform. At SFF 2025 it expanded its partnership with DBS. It also supports a 2026 Hackcelerator track on agentic payments.

2. Visa (2B25). At SFF 2025 Visa announced a pilot paying out in stablecoins through Visa Direct, with Nium as an initial partner and a wider rollout planned for the second half of 2026.

3. Mastercard (2F01). Announced near real-time payouts to stablecoin wallets through Mastercard Move with Thunes at SFF 2025.

4. Tencent. Weixin Pay's operator. Cambodia's central bank agreed at SFF 2025 to link its KHQR codes with Weixin Pay.

5. Stripe. Online payments for businesses, and since its acquisition of Bridge, a provider of stablecoin accounts and payouts. For the wider picture, see stablecoins in cross-border payments.

Cross-border payments (6-11)

Cross-border firms are where stablecoins first show up in mainstream fintech: they hold balances in many currencies and settle with partners around the clock, which is the problem stablecoins are good at.

6. Thunes (3A31). A Singapore payouts network connecting wallets and banks in many countries; Mastercard's 2025 stablecoin-wallet payouts run through it.

7. Nium. A Singapore cross-border payments company and Visa's first partner for stablecoin payouts.

8. dLocal (3C45). Payments in emerging markets for global merchants, listed from Uruguay.

9. Tazapay (2G13). A Singapore cross-border collections company.

10. XTransfer (2D43) and 11. LianLian (2H43). Two of the larger platforms serving Asian exporters and online sellers.

Stellar was built for this corridor business; MoneyGram and payout firms use it to move USDC between partners. See stablecoins on Stellar and USDC vs USDT.

Banking and card infrastructure (12-16)

12. Banking Circle (3L31) and 13. ClearBank (3E13). Licensed banks that provide accounts and clearing to payment companies. Both are tagged for digital assets on the exhibitor listing, and Banking Circle's chief digital assets officer is on the 2026 agenda.

14. Thredd (3B39). A card issuing processor behind many fintech cards. Its 2026 session is "Stablecoins at Speed: Real-Time Visibility and Control for BIN Sponsors", on stablecoin-funded card programmes.

15. Mambu (4D39) and 16. Temenos (3A25). Core banking software. Both are tagged for digital assets, a sign that banks expect to hold tokenised money in the same ledger as deposits. Background: tokenized deposits vs stablecoins.

National rails and consumer apps (17-20)

17. NPCI (2D49). Runs India's UPI and is pushing it abroad through links with other fast-payment systems.

18. NETS (2B34). Singapore's domestic payments network.

19. GCash. The largest e-wallet in the Philippines.

20. Toss Bank. A Korean digital bank, part of a large Korean contingent at SFF this year.

The identity layer underneath: iDenfy

Every company on this list must identify its customers before money moves. iDenfy, a Lithuanian RegTech at booth 5J25-B, sells that step: document and liveness checks, business verification, AML screening and fraud signals from one API, with an option to pay only for approved verifications.

For a fintech, the cost of onboarding is not just the price per check. It is also the users lost to a clumsy flow and the fraud let through by a weak one. That is why we single out iDenfy for fintech teams at SFF: it is one vendor for KYC, KYB and screening, it re-verifies users with a face check before risky actions, and in 2026 it announced deployments with Lithuania's RATO Bank and the cloud provider Hetzner. Compare it with the other identity vendors in our RegTech list, and read the full iDenfy profile.

Questions to ask on the floor

The useful questions for a payments company at SFF are about volume, licences and settlement, not features: how much actually moves through the new rails, under which licence in each market, and what money it settles in.

• Stablecoin volume. Pilots are easy to announce. Ask what share of payouts or settlements now runs on stablecoins, in which corridors, and which coins.
• Which chain and why. Payout firms pick networks for fees, finality and where their partners already hold balances. Stellar, Solana, Ethereum and its rollups, and the XRP Ledger are the usual answers; ask what decided it.
• Licences. In Singapore a firm moving digital payment tokens needs a Payment Services Act licence for that activity; elsewhere the rules differ. Ask which entity holds which licence.
• Onboarding. Ask how they verify business customers and their owners, and how long it takes. KYB is where cross-border B2B onboarding usually stalls, and it is where an identity vendor such as iDenfy is chosen.
• Settlement asset. Tokenized deposits, stablecoins or tokenized money market funds? The 2026 agenda has a session asking exactly which "earns a place in the stack". Our view: tokenized deposits vs stablecoins.

How we chose the 20

Every company is either on the official exhibitor listing with a booth, or on the 2026 sponsor page. We left out the large banks, which have their own lists, and the RegTech and crypto firms, which have theirs. Within payments we picked for cross-border reach, for infrastructure other fintechs build on, and for a public stablecoin or tokenisation link. It is a route through the halls, not a ranking of quality.

What to watch at SFF 2026

• Stablecoin payouts in production. Visa said the Nium pilot would broaden in the second half of 2026. Ask how much volume moves through it.
• Agentic payments. The agenda says Visa, Google, Mastercard, OpenAI, Stripe and Ant International have all shipped agent-initiated payment infrastructure. The open question is identity: how a merchant knows which agent, and whose, is paying. Stellar's take: x402 on Stellar.
• Passkeys. A session on stopping fraud with passkeys; on Stellar, see passkey smart wallets.
