Pay like a Local in China with Thailand e-wallets

Published

on

BANGKOK, March 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Breaking new ground in bilateral relations, Thailand and China have entered into a historic visa waiver agreement, allowing citizens of Thailand to travel to China without the need for a visa effective 1st March 2024. As Thailand citizens embrace the newfound freedom of visa-free travel to China, UnionPay International stands ready to welcome them with comprehensive payment solutions.   

Since UnionPay International entered Thailand market in 2006, UnionPay International have partnered with the key financial institutions in Thailand and issued more than 10 million bank cards to-date. Apart from issuing physical cards, UnionPay International also launched innovative payment solutions which enable Thailand tourists to make payment with their existing Thailand e-wallets in China.

Mr. Michael Shang, Country Manager of UnionPay International Thailand, expressed his excitement about this synergistic initiative stating, “We are thrilled to collaborate with 5 local e-wallets namely Kplus, Mbanking, NEXT, KTC mobile and ICBC to offer Thai travellers an enhanced and seamless payment experience during their visits to China. With these collaborations with the above-mentioned local e-wallet players, Thai travellers can save the hassle of downloading a new App and also address their privacy concerns on binding their payment cards to a new app when traveling to China. They can just use their existing Thailand e-wallets (which they are comfortable with) to scan UnionPay QR in China to make payments. I hope our innovative products can further enrich their travel experiences and help foster closer ties between Thailand and China. Along with visa free policy, we are also working closely with other local e-wallets and hope that more Thailand travellers can experience the seamless payment user journey.”

Antithesis Gains Massive Traction in the Fintech World

Large Hedge Fund and Financial Operations Platform Sign Up for Antithesis’ Transformative Software Testing

VIENNA, Va., May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Antithesis, the autonomous software testing company, has made significant inroads into the fintech and financial services sectors, with customers utilizing the company’s groundbreaking technology to ensure the software they ship is free from potentially disastrous bugs.

Some new partnerships mean that Antithesis is now deployed at every level of the financial technology ecosystem. The company recently closed deals with a leading quantitative hedge fund and with Ramp, the fastest-growing corporate card and financial operations platform. They join Formance, a cloud platform provider for financial services, and TigerBeetle, the financial transactions database, in securing their reliability with Antithesis. Antithesis has also been working with one of the largest retail trading platforms to test both their in-house market-making software and some of their core open source dependencies.

“With massive amounts of data flowing at microsecond speeds and extreme uptime requirements, efficiency, accuracy, and reliability are all essential in fintech systems,” said Will Wilson, co-founder and CEO of Antithesis. “At the same time, competition is intense, and fintech innovators prioritize agility and development momentum. So Antithesis’s ability to provide unparalleled thoroughness in testing while integrating seamlessly into our customers’ CI/CD flows makes us a natural partner for the fintech sector.”

An ever-growing share of economic activity is mediated by fintech platforms, making the sector an increasingly essential part of the infrastructure of modern life. The global fintech market is over $200 billion, and it is estimated that digital payments will account for $20.9 trillion of transaction value in 2025.

“At Ramp, we care deeply about reliability, but the most dangerous bugs are the ones we don’t even know to look for,” said Nikolay Koblov, VP of Engineering at Ramp. “Antithesis helped us uncover high-impact issues in complex code paths that are rarely exercised in production. Unlike unit tests, which validate isolated functions, or E2E tests, which check expected user flows, Antithesis simulates unpredictable failures and rare edge cases across the entire system. This approach allowed us to validate critical system behaviors with a level of confidence that’s hard – and often impossible – to achieve using traditional testing methods.”

As AI-assisted development practices become more widespread, sectors that place a premium on correctness and reliability, like fintech, will need to find ways to balance speed and accuracy in their development flows. Antithesis eliminates the guesswork, enabling engineering teams to leverage the latest AI innovations without compromising the fidelity of their work. 

About Antithesis
Antithesis is a first-of-its-kind continuous reliability platform that autonomously searches for bugs in software and can perfectly reproduce any bug it encounters in a separate, fully deterministic simulated environment so that it can perform multiple tests without impacting production systems. The company, which is based in Northern Virginia, was founded in 2018 and launched out of stealth in 2024. For more information, visit antithesis.com.

CHICAGO, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ubiety Technologies, a leader in AI-driven presence verification and security intelligence, is proud to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Ivani, the pioneers in Wireless Network Sensing, to integrate Ivani’s sensify® technology for advanced activity detection directly into Ubiety’s Halo Connect device.

Ubiety and Ivani Announce Industry-First Integration of AI Powered Presence Verification and RF Activity Sensing in Halo

This marks the first-ever commercial integration of RF activity sensing and AI-based presence verification in a single plug-and-play device—bringing the industry’s long-discussed vision of unified presence detection to life.

Ubiety + Ivani: Turning Industry Talk into Reality

While major players in the security and smart home space have long pointed to the future potential of presence detection, none have moved beyond theory. Ubiety and Ivani are the first to make this vision real. With this integration, Halo Connect now delivers unprecedented home awareness by combining device-based presence awareness with environmental activity sensing, delivering the most accurate, contextual home awareness system on the market.

Dual-layer presence detection – Combines signal intelligence (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular) with activity sensing to confirm who is home and if activity is occurring.Improved alarm context/experience – AI-driven insight + environmental validation = fewer false positives, smarter responses.No cameras required – Provides unmatched awareness and privacy without the need for cameras or surveillance devices.No expensive panel integration – Conventional security relies on expensive panels and hubs to install. Halo Connect brings all of this situational awareness to homeowners and law enforcement by directly integrating with dealers and monitoring centers.A platform for growth – Conventional sensing relies on hardware-based detection capabilities. Halo Connect provides a platform for software-based sensing solutions, providing future improvements via OTA updates. It’s a security system that gets smarter with time, not worse.

A Leap Forward for the Industry

“The market has been full of buzzwords about presence detection for years, but no one’s actually built what they’re talking about—until now,” said Keith Puckett, Co-Founder & CEO of Ubiety Technologies. “By integrating Ivani’s activity sensing into Halo Connect, we’ve taken a massive leap forward. Together, we’ve built a plug-and-play solution that gives consumers and security providers the real-time context they’ve been waiting for.”

“Ivani’s mission has always been to enable powerful sensing capabilities using existing infrastructure, and this partnership with Ubiety brings that vision into the home in a scalable way,” said Justin McKinney, Co-Founder and CEO of Ivani. “Combining our sensify technology with Ubiety’s presence intelligence creates a new standard for what real awareness and actionable insight can look like. We’ve long been asked to show what device detection looks like next to sensify. Now we have that answer.”

About Halo Connect

Halo Connect is Ubiety’s compact, plug-in device that brings advanced AI-powered Presence Verification and Adaptive Alarm Response to any home or small business. With this new integration, it delivers on its promise of growth, becoming the most complete and scalable presence sensing device in the industry.
