The acquisition marks Western Union’s first wallet in Asia Pacific. It is part of its strategy to expand beyond traditional money transfers by embedding cross-border capabilities into everyday financial use. By integrating Dash, the company aims to connect its global network—spanning more than 200 countries and territories—more directly with local digital payment ecosystems.
Western Union has completed its acquisition of Dash, the Singapore-based mobile wallet owned by Singtel.
The deal, finalised after regulatory approvals, gives Western Union access to a platform with more than 1.4 million users in Singapore. Launched in 2014, Dash offers payments, remittances, savings, insurance and investment services within a single app.
