Omise Expands Its Payment Capabilities in Thailand, Becoming a Direct Acquirer for Visa and Mastercard

Omise, a leading payment solutions provider in Asia, today announced that it has become a Visa and Mastercard direct acquirer in Thailand, marking a significant milestone in the company's continued investment in payment infrastructure. By expanding its capabilities across the payment value chain, Omise is strengthening its ability to support merchants, platforms, financial institutions, and partners with more integrated and scalable payment solutions.

The milestone reinforces Omise's long-term commitment to Thailand, one of the company's core markets, where businesses are increasingly looking for payment infrastructure that can support both domestic growth and regional expansion. Becoming an acquirer enables Omise to directly manage card payment acquiring and settlement, allowing the company to operate more of the payment process within its own infrastructure and further strengthen its full-stack payment capabilities.

"Today's businesses require payment infrastructure that is reliable, adaptable, and built to support long-term growth," said Sutthiporn Mekhaaphirak, Chief Operating Officer of Omise. "Thailand remains one of our most important markets, and strengthening our acquiring capabilities enables us to continue investing in technologies that help merchants navigate an increasingly digital and connected economy."

As Thailand's digital economy continues to grow, businesses are managing increasingly complex payment environments--from serving customers across multiple sales channels to expanding into regional markets. Omise's expanded acquiring capabilities create a stronger foundation for future payment innovation while helping simplify payment operations and improving flexibility across the payment lifecycle.

Greater control across the payment stack creates opportunities to streamline merchant onboarding, reduce reliance on multiple intermediaries, improve payment performance, and enhance transaction visibility over time. As Omise continues to evolve its platform, these capabilities are expected to support future enhancements in areas such as payment authorization, reconciliation, reporting, fraud management, and payment orchestration.

The milestone also advances Omise's long-term vision of building scalable payment infrastructure for businesses across Asia. By strengthening its core capabilities, the company is laying the foundation for future offerings such as Acquiring-as-a-Service (AaaS), payment facilitation (PayFac), and payment orchestration, enabling platforms, marketplaces, financial institutions, and enterprise businesses to simplify payment operations while supporting future growth.

"Businesses today are serving customers across more channels, payment methods, and markets than ever before," added Mekhaaphirak. "By strengthening our core infrastructure, we are creating more opportunities to support merchants and partners in Thailand and across Asia with payment capabilities that can evolve alongside their businesses."

With Thailand continuing to play a central role in its regional strategy, Omise will continue investing in payment infrastructure that helps businesses simplify complexity, improve operational efficiency, and scale with confidence as they grow across Asia.
