Current report

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 8, 2021. It is an investment holding company headquartered in Singapore.

Current report

The Company was originally a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company named INFINT Acquisition Corporation (“INFINT”) formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements with, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

Current report

Currenc is a leading operator of global money transfer services and airtime trading in Southeast Asia. Currenc’s mainstream business is its remittance business which facilitates users, in particular migrant workers, in different countries sending money from one country to another in a low cost and efficient manner. Another line of business is the airtime business which sells airtime to users in different countries worldwide, including retail users in Indonesia. Before merging with INFINT SPAC, Currenc operated the two different business lines through four main subsidiaries: Tranglo, WalletKu, TNG Asia and GEA. On July 30, 2024, Currenc divested GEA and on August 30, 2024, Currenc also disposed TNG Asia. Since then, Currenc operates the global remittance business only through Tranglo, which is one of the leading money remittance platforms in Southeast Asia. Tranglo provides business-to-business (“B2B”) remittance services for financial institutions and is considered as a upstream player of the remittance industry. Currenc also provides cross-border international airtime transfer services through Tranglo, acting as a switching platform provider for telecom airtime transfer and a wholesale reseller of foreign airtime. Currenc also runs WalletKu, which is an Indonesian airtime operator facing end users directly.

Current report

Tranglo is a leading global money transfer hub in Southeast Asia. Tranglo provides a single unified application programming interface for licensed banks and money service operators and acts as a one-stop settlement agent for cross-border money transfer, offering customers the ability to process payments globally. At December 31, 2024, Tranglo had more than 5,000 bank partners, 35 eWallets, 130,000 cash pick-up points, and 140 corporate clients for remittances, with a remittance network covering more than 100 countries. As for the full year period ended December 31, 2024, Tranglo processed around 11.4 million transactions with a total processing value of $5.14 billion, which represents a growth in volume by 3.6% as compared to 11.0 million transactions, and a growth in total processing value by 13.2% as compared to the total processing value of $4.54 billion for the full year period ended December 31, 2023. As for the full year period ended December 31, 2024, the top four sending countries/regions for Tranglo’s remittance business were UK, Hong Kong, Singapore and Korea, whereas the top four receiving countries were Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.

Current report

The number of Tranglo unique users increased to 1,229,132 as of December 31, 2024 from 1,032,360 as of December 31, 2023. The number of average monthly unique sending accounts increased from 330,571 for the full year period ended December 31, 2023 to 355,997 for the full year period ended December 31, 2024.

Current report

Tranglo is also a global airtime transfer hub, offering cross-border airtime wholesale and transfer services. This line of business also targets migrant workers who could buy and transfer airtime back to their family members in their homeland. However, global airtime transfer business has much lower gross margin as compared to the remittance business, and it also requires higher working capital as there are account receivables in the trade. Moreover, as most South East Asian countries have widely developed their internet network, especially in countries like Indonesia, more Wifi connections are available to citizens and therefore, the demand of airtime transfer has been declining in the South East Asian countries like Indonesia and Malaysia. At December 31, 2024, Tranglo has partnered with more than 500 mobile operators that cover 150 countries and served more than 40 airtime corporate customers. As for the full year period ended December 31, 2024, Tranglo processed 4.15 million airtime transfer transactions with a total value of $9.3 million, representing a decrease of 23.8% in both volume and value as compared to 5.3 million transactions with a total value of $12.2 million for the full year period ended December 31, 2023. For the full year period ended December 31, 2024, the airtime unique user accounts decreased to 619,075, representing a decline of 26.4% as compared to 841,374 for the full year period ended December 31, 2023. The monthly average unique sending accounts also decreased to 135,058 for the full year period ended December 31, 2024, representing a decline of 22.8% as compared to 174,943 for the full year period ended December 31, 2023.

Current report

WalletKu is an independent electronic platform in Indonesia directly facing end users, and allows its customers to purchase airtime and conduct internet data top-up. WalletKu platform also allows users to conduct cash top-up, transfers, and utility or bill payments. WalletKu is also a participant in the Indosat Cluster Partnership for managing the marketing work of Indosat telecommunication and airtime products in two cluster areas in Indonesia. WalletKu served approximately 128,000 customers as of December 31, 2024, distributing airtime with a total value of $14.5 million for the full year period ended December 31, 2024.

Current report

TNG Asia operates an eWallet operation in Hong Kong, targeting the niche market of overseas workers, i.e., Philippine and Indonesian overseas domestic workers living in Hong Kong. TNG Asia generates 80-95% of its revenue by offering the money remittance services to these overseas workers. GEA is a remittance agent which mainly serves TNG Asia in remitting money to overseas countries. GEA provides a prefunding facility for TNG Asia and conducts foreign exchange (“Forex”) conversion for TNG Asia’s customers. GEA also provides currency conversion and remittance services for other clients and earns revenue via Forex spread markups. TNG Asia and GEA had been divested from Currenc since August 30, 2024 and July 30, 2024 respectively.

Current report

On August 30, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), INFINT, INFINT Fintech Merger Sub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of INFINT (“Merger Sub”), and Seamless Group Inc., a limited liability company under the laws of the Cayman Islands (along with its wholly owned subsidiaries, “Seamless”), consummated a business combination pursuant to the business combination agreement, dated as of August 3, 2022, as amended (the “Business Combination Agreement”).

Current report

On the Closing Date, INFINT completed a series of transactions (the “Closing”) that resulted in the combination (the “Business Combination”) of INFINT with Seamless. On August 30, 2024, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Merger Sub merged with and into Seamless, with Seamless surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of INFINT, and INFINT changed its name to Currenc Group Inc. (“Currenc”). The Company’s ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CURR”.

Current report

Pursuant to ASC 805-40,Reverse Acquisitions, for financial accounting and reporting purposes, Seamless was deemed the accounting acquirer with INFINT being treated as the accounting acquiree, and the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Accordingly, the audited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company represent a continuation of the financial statements of Seamless, with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of Seamless issuing stock for the net assets of INFINT, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net liabilities of INFINT were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, and were consolidated with Seamless’ financial statements on the Closing Date. The number of Seamless common shares for all periods prior to the Closing Date have been retrospectively adjusted using the exchange ratio that was established in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, after adjusting for the share repurchase.

Current report

See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements,Reverse Recapitalization and Related Transactions, for additional information.

Current report

Simultaneous with the closing of the Business Combination, Currenc also completed a series of private financings, issuing a Convertible Note for $1.94 million, 400,000 commitment shares, and warrants to purchase 136,110 ordinary shares in a private placement to a PIPE investor (the “PIPE Offering”), which raised $1.75 million in net proceeds.

Current report

Currenc’s remittance services have benefited from continual growth in global migrant worker population, who have a strong demand for regular and small sizes of remittance to send money regularly to their homeland for their families’ livelihood. Given the average small size of remittance transactions, the transaction costs are of prime consideration to the users. Also, real-time remittance service is important to the users. With more usage of mobile devices and the increasing number of electronic wallets in Asia, the need for digital remittance has been increasing.

Current report

On the other hand, as the global digital remittance market has thrived and grown rapidly, more and more competitors have entered into the market and as a result, the market competition is intensifying. This has direct impact on the pricing power of Currenc, and thus its profitability.

Current report

On the other hand, its international airtime transfer business may be adversely affected by the increasing adoption and thus wider availability of free Wi-Fi in public places and buildings in many Southeast Asian countries as well as other emerging countries.

Current report

As the South East Asian market is getting saturated, Currenc’s results of operations and financial condition are affected by its ability to expand its market reach to other geographical regions like Middel East or Africa.

Current report

Currenc’s ability to maintain and increase the size of its user base

Current report

Currenc’s revenue is largely driven by the number of users and the number of transactions on its remittance platforms, as well as the users on the airtime trading platforms. The larger the number of users on Currenc’s platforms and the larger the number of partners, including banks, e-Wallets and corporations that will join its network, the greater will be the number of transactions that drive its revenue. However, as the market competition is getting more intense, Currenc has to offer more price-competitive and highly efficient services in order to maintain and increase its user base.

Current report

All along, Currenc serves only financial institutions and is a B2B remittance hub. In other words, Currenc is considered as the upstream player of the digital remittance industry. Being an upstream player, Currenc is under tremendous pricing pressure. In order to expand its profit margin, Currenc needs to go downstream and directly face retail customers. In other words, Currenc needs to develop B2C markets, especially in the Middle East market. This development, if successfully launched, will generate much higher profitability.

Current report

As for airtime business, Currenc will strive to expand its global airtime transfer coverage and telco partner network. The global airtime transfer business mainly serves migrant workers worldwide. As Malaysia-Indonesia is currently the key global airtime corridor for Tranglo which contributed 52.4% of Tranglo’s global airtime revenue for the full year period ended December 31, 2024, Tranglo’s global airtime business has been adversely affected by the changes. Currenc needs to broaden its network and diversify its user base to other Asian countries like Pakistan, Middle East countries like UAE, Saudi Arabia, and African countries like Egypt, in order to expand its global airtime business in the future. Currenc will also seek to expand the network and coverage of WalletKu and offer a wider range of products and services for retail customers in Indonesia.

Current report

Currenc’s ability to control costs and expenses relating to its operations affects its profitability. The global remittance market is evolving rapidly and new entrants to the market have driven market competition. This has a long-term downward trend on the gross profit margin for the whole industry. In order to generate growing operating profits, players have to expand their market scope and scale, while on the other hand, control their operating costs. General and administrative expenses have historically represented the largest portion of Currenc’s total operating expenses. Therefore, most of the costs of Currenc are fixed costs which do not increase in tantum with the increase in business volume and digital remittance transactions processed. That means Currenc has a high operating leverage. As the business volume increases, the profitability of Currenc will increase even more.

Current report

As part of Currenc’s strategy of expansion, it has in the past acquired, and may, from time to time, acquire businesses or interests in businesses, including non-controlling interests, form joint ventures or create strategic alliances. In the future, Currenc will strive to develop its B2C businesses in Middle East, focusing on various fintech and airtime trading services. Currenc will continually evaluate potential strategic acquisitions of businesses or products with the aim of expanding its user and revenue base, widening its geographic coverage and increasing its product range. In addition, Currenc’s ability to leverage its existing distribution network to expand its product offering across its current markets and replicate its success in Southeast Asian and Middle East countries where it operates will affect its growth and results of operations. It expects that its growth prospects will continue to be significantly affected by its ability to expand its business in new and existing markets.

We will use these funds primarily to find and evaluate target businesses, perform business, legal, and accounting due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination. The interest income earned on the investments in our Trust Account are unavailable to fund operating expenses.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into additional private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.

Previous report

On September 13, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of up to $400,000 to the Sponsor, which may be drawn down from time to time prior to the Maturity Date (as defined below) upon request by the Company. The Note amended, replaced and superseded in its entirety that certain promissory note, dated May 1, 2023, made by the Company in favor of the Sponsor in the principal amount of up to $150,000 (the “Original Note”), and any unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced by the Original Note has been merged into and evidenced by the Note. The Note does not bear interest and the principal balance will be payable on the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination (such date, the “Maturity Date”). In the event the Company consummates its initial business combination, the Sponsor has the option on the Maturity Date to convert the principal outstanding under the Note into that number of private placement warrants (“Working Capital Warrants”) equal to the portion of the principal amount of the Note being converted divided by $1.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number. The terms of the Working Capital Warrants, if any, would be identical to the terms of the private placement warrants issued by the Company at the time of its IPO, as described in the prospectus for the IPO, dated November 22, 2021 and filed with the SEC, including the transfer restrictions applicable thereto. The Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of certain of which automatically triggers the unpaid principal balance of the Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Note becoming immediately due and payable. As of December 31, 2023, $325,000 was outstanding pursuant to the Note.

On March 6, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Seamless Note”) in the principal amount of up to $500,000 to Seamless, which may be drawn down from time to time prior to the Maturity Date (upon request by the Company. The Seamless Note does not bear interest and the principal balance will be payable on the Maturity Date. The Seamless Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of certain of which automatically triggers the unpaid principal balance of the Second Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Seamless Note becoming immediately due and payable.

Previous report

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering had been satisfied through proceeds from notes payable and from the issuance of common stock. However, the $43,509 in cash is unlikely to be be sufficient to allow the Company to operate for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of the financial statements. Additionally, the combination period is less than one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statements. As a result, there is substantial doubt that the Company can sustain operations for a period of at least one-year from the issuance date of these financial statements.

Previous report

Our only activities through December 31, 2023 were organizational activities, those necessary to consummate the IPO, described below, and identifying a target company and preparing for the Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We are incurring expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

Previous report

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2023. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Previous report

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than an agreement to pay our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support.

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Previous wording

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2023, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in the amount of $83,523,112 are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
