Xendit says Dragonpay is now integrated into its regional payments platform, bringing a long-running Philippine alternative-payments brand into a wider Southeast Asia infrastructure network.
Why the integration matters
The announcement matters because Dragonpay has been a local payments route for Philippine merchants and customers who rely on online banking, e-wallets and over-the-counter channels. Xendit says Dragonpay currently supports 905 merchants and works with 44 partners, including banks, non-bank financial institutions, e-wallets and over-the-counter partners.
For merchants, the commercial point is access to a broader operating layer. Xendit says Dragonpay merchants can use more than 100 payment methods, payouts, cross-border payments and financing through the Xendit platform.
That makes the story more than a branding update. It points to how local payment rails in Southeast Asia are being tied into regional infrastructure, especially for businesses that want to accept more payment types, simplify payment operations or prepare for customers beyond a single domestic market.
What to watch next
The companies also link the move to the Philippines’ digital-payments push. The practical question now is whether the integration turns into visible merchant migration, new product availability or stronger cross-border payment usage among Philippine businesses.
Xendit says the formal integration builds on a relationship that began with its strategic investment in Dragonpay in 2021. It also positions the move alongside Xendit’s Malaysia Payex acquisition in 2025 and Thailand expansion in 2024.
