Kuala Lumpur, 29th August 2025 – Soft Space has been recognized on Forbes Asia’s fifth annual 100 to Watch list, which highlights emerging companies across the Asia-Pacific that are redefining their industries.

Out of thousands of submissions spanning 16 countries, just 100 were selected. As one of just two Malaysian companies on this exclusive list, we’re thrilled to prove that Malaysians have what it takes to build, scale, and lead on the global stage. This recognition also affirms our mission to reshape finance and strengthens our commitment to building secure, accessible, and scalable payment solutions.

For Soft Space, inclusion on this list reflects more than a decade of advancing the frontier of payments. Founded in 2012 in Kuala Lumpur, we have grown into a fintech partner of choice for over 90 financial institutions and partners across 30 global markets. Our technologies — from contactless mobile payments to white-label e-wallet platforms — make digital adoption seamless for merchants and consumers while enabling financial institutions to serve their customers with greater insight and agility.

Being named to Forbes Asia’s 100 to Watch list is a milestone. Our focus now is to keep pushing the boundaries of digital payments and embedded finance, domestically and worldwide.
