ThitsaWorks, an award-winning fintech headquartered in Singapore will be partnering with the Mexican Association of Credit Unions of the Social Sector (AMUCSS) on The People’s Clearing House (PCH) initiative to develop an inclusive and instant payments network for credit unions’ members, who are currently excluded from the national instant payments system.
Using its Thitsa Payment Portal (TPP), ThitsaWorks via this partnership will ensure that small and rural-based credit unions, especially those without core back-end systems, can seamlessly integrate into the network and enable cross-border remittance through the Rafiki-MojaLoop interoperability via a Cross-network Provider (CNP).
Thitsa Payment Portal (TPP), originally developed for the Myanmar microfinance sector, will be further developed and customized as a use case specific to Mexico. The results of this will be applied to the broader concept and deployment of the TPP in other targeted locations including South Sudan and Trinidad and Tobago. TPP serves as ThitsaWorks’ blueprint to foster financial inclusion for those currently excluded from traditional financial systems.
