Kuala Lumpur – 20 June 2024 – Malaysia’s leading Fintech payment gateway, Curlec by Razorpay which processes up to 10,000 transactions per second and serves over 2,000 merchants locally, and Seedflex Technologies (Seedflex), Singapore’s newest Fintech lending provider, today announced their official partnership to enable seamless access to “Pay-As-You-Sell Advance”™ (PAYS Advance) for emerging entrepreneurs in Malaysia.

Curlec merchants in Malaysia can now access Seedflex’s revolutionary PAYS Advance™ solution by simply registering interest to receive approval with zero activation costs instantly, with funds deposited in less than 48 hours.

PAYS Advance™ is an exciting market-first product offering merchants a dynamic credit solution that automatically adjusts based on future revenue projections and conveniently pays back the advance as a fractional deduction from future sales.
