Xendit announced on July 8, 2026 that Dragonpay is now under its umbrella.

Dragonpay is now part of Xendit, which gives local merchants access to Xendit’s platform, including payout tools, cross-border payment support, and financing options. 

Xendit, a Southeast Asian fintech company that provides payment infrastructure, announced on July 8 that it has brought Dragonpay, a Philippine online payment provider that lets consumers pay for e-commerce purchases through non-card channels, under its umbrella.

This gives local Dragonpay merchants access to Xendit’s platform, including more than 100 payment methods, payout tools, cross-border payment support, and financing options. It allows for more ways to serve customers outside the Philippines.

The announcement builds on Xendit’s investment in Dragonpay in August 2021.

“We started Dragonpay in 2010 so that every Filipino, banked or unbanked, could take part in the digital economy…,” said its founder Robertson Chiang in a July 8 press statement. “This is the natural next step in a partnership that has worked from day one.”

The Philippine company supports 905 merchants and works with 44 partners, including banks, non-bank financial institutions, e-wallets, and over-the-counter partners.

Xendit’s acquired Malaysia’s Payex in 2025; it also expanded into Thailand in 2024. It operates across Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
