Our Ascend vision is to create life opportunities with innovative digital services. We are blessed to be operating in ASEAN, where we are able to help one of the world's largest populations of underbanked, the people from some of the poorest provinces who are disregarded by traditional banks. So many lives are waiting for our help.

In 2017, we served over 30 million customers in 6 countries (Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines), and processed over 4.5 billion USD. This makes us by far the largest fintech company in SE Asia and growing quickly.
