Last week, we announced our expansion into APAC. Today, we’re sharing more of how that expansion comes to life. We’re partnering with Episode Six as a key processing partner for card programs across APAC, giving our partners the local infrastructure and processing capabilities needed to launch and scale in-region. Building globally means having the right foundation in each market, with the performance, flexibility, and compliance readiness to support programs at scale. APAC is the first chapter with Episode Six, with more to come as we expand together across additional markets, networks, and program types. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/egkqi27t

The way we talk about money is changing. Rain CEO Farooq M. explained that soon, the term “digital money” will sound just as dated at “mobile phone call.” Great discussion with Coinbase’s Aklil Ibssa, Alpaca’s Yoshi Yokokawa, and Utila’s Bentzi Rabi at The Montgomery Summit.

Your card program shouldn't stop at a border. With Rain, it doesn't have to. We're expanding our Visa Membership into Asia-Pacific, one of the world's most digitally active regions and home to some of the largest remittance corridors on the planet. This is exactly what we set out to do with our Series C financing. We're building a licensed presence in key markets so partners can go global through a single platform, without stitching together regional vendors. Initial program launches begin Q2 2026. More to come. 🌏 https://lnkd.in/euqZK4jk
