HONG KONG / ACCESSWIRE / January 18, 2022 / Episode Six and HSBC are celebrating the third anniversary of a technology partnership that has played a role in helping PayMe from HSBC become Hong Kong's leading e-wallet provider and proven how Episode Six's platform, Tritium®, can help banks quickly scale up products aimed at large customer bases and easily extend those products into new areas.
Since the partnership between PayMe and Episode Six started in 2018, PayMe's user base has grown to over 2.5 million, while the app has gained the largest share of all e-wallet peer-to-peer fund transfers in Hong Kong and consistently expanded its merchant network across sectors in the city.

Our vision is for our extensible and adaptable platform architecture to empower all of our clients with unparalleled user-driven configurability to enable any payment transaction across any imaginable asset class, any time and in any way."

PayMe from HSBC has quickly become Hong Kong's most popular social payment app and a preferred channel for transferring money and connecting with friends and family since its launch in 2018. The roll-out of PayMe for Business, PayMe's business solution, followed in early 2019, offering businesses in the city a new way to conveniently collect digital payments from consumers and manage cash flow.
Episode Six gives banks, fintechs and brands the freedom to design and bring winning payment propositions to market with unmatched speed across any asset class. The company's clients include global, regional, and domestic banks, neobanks, fintechs and insurtechs around the world.

Tritium provides debit and credit wallet management, a native multi-asset ledger, payment processing and closed loop payment between merchants and consumers in one tech stack. By allowing HSBC to configure and reconfigure innovative payment offerings in real-time, the platform has supported PayMe's efforts to respond quickly to changing consumer needs and merchant demand and become the leading digital payments app in Hong Kong.
