This is Digital Wallet
OUR MISSION
At Digital Wallet, we’ve combined the powers of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Financial Technology (FinTech) and used our expertise to carefully craft and develop a premium financial service that’s accessible to everyone. We’ve become a family-centered company where we strongly believe that our team members, as well as our valued customers, should have fulfilling lives.
OUR STORY
PAST – Where we were
Digital Wallet started
out as a seed in 2014, planted in an environment that focused on growing a business to provide premium financial services accessible to everyone. Our roots came from an accomplished team of engineers and designers from the Sony Group digital service department and eventually, the family grew with professionals from various fields who have developed and managed global cloud services.
PRESENT – Where we are now
Initially, we built
our working environment around the importance of family and diversity so that our team can experience fulfilling lives. Now, our team has an inclusion of different backgrounds (where we have around 10 nationalities), religions, ages, and genders. Many of our colleagues are raising their own families or taking care of their loved ones. For this reason, we always make sure that we continue to allow our team members to work as professionals and spend precious time with their families and friends.
As our services have reached
far and wide around the world, Digital Wallet has been promising to give back to communities in need. Recently, with COVID-19 causing a negative impact on the globe, Digital Wallet stepped in by donating to medical organizations such as the Japanese Red Cross Medical Center, PGH Medical Foundation in the Philippines, The Central Committee of Vietnam Fatherland Front and Dompet Dhuafa in Indonesia. We strongly believe that it’s important to provide the best service to our customers, but we also believe that it’s imperative to help support those who are struggling. It makes the world a better place.
FUTURE – Where we want to be
Trust is a major relationship
characteristic that Digital Wallet has used to build our foundation, especially when it comes to creating ties with those involved in the financial technology industry. With 10 meaningful partnerships and counting, we continue to seek and maintain relationships with financial service companies such as Asia United Bank (AUB) and Yucho Bank. We’ve cherished the importance of building and strengthening partnerships, so instead of making competition, we will join hands in order to provide the best for everyone in the industry.
In the near future,
we strive to become a leading company that provides cutting-edge IT service platforms to support the lives of our customers for decades to come. In order to create a fair financial world, Digital Wallet always plans ahead and takes budgeting very seriously. Every ounce of currency counts. We don’t ask for large investments “just to be safe,” but rather ask for sustainable financial support enough for stability for us, our partners as well as our service for our valued customers.
Ultimately, our goal is,
again, to provide premium services to everyone in order to strengthen the connection to their loved ones. We understand that money received by families reflects emotions, hopes and dreams. That’s why we believe that when people send money, they’re not just sending numbers, but instead, sending their deepest appreciation to family, friends and partners across the globe.
At Digital Wallet, we aim to continue to satisfy our customers and supporters worldwide,
especially YOU.
