Soft Space was recently featured exclusively in Nanyang Siang Pau, one of Malaysia’s leading Chinese-language business publications. The piece spotlights Soft Space’s B2B model and its role as a behind-the-scenes technology provider, supplying payment infrastructure to banks and financial institutions rather than serving consumers directly. 

The feature traces the company’s journey from its founding observation that smartphones could replace physical payment terminals, to expanding globally across Japan, Australia, Europe, and the US, with COVID-19 cited as a key turning point that accelerated demand for software-based contactless payment solutions. 

It also highlights Soft Space’s focus on Japan as a key growth market and its selection as one of only two Malaysian companies being nurtured for a potential Tokyo Stock Exchange listing.
