Industry Leaders Weigh In: LianLian Global CEO Tim Shen Shares Vision for Seamless Payment Infrastructure

As global payments continue to evolve, building resilient infrastructure through innovation and strategic collaboration has become a major focus.

On April 23, Tim Shen, CEO of LianLian Global, took the stage at Money20/20 Asia in Bangkok alongside notable industry leaders such as Changbin Wang, VP and Managing Director at American Express, James Teodorini, Head of APAC at Thunes, and Lisa Kienzle, Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships at Ripple. Together, they explored how innovation and partnership can power the next generation of cross-border payment systems.

Tim Shen emphasized that the rapid growth of new business models—especially cross-border eCommerce—is reshaping the global payments landscape, bringing both new demands and opportunities.

“For cross-border eCommerce, the transactions are often small, frequent, and fragmented, with operations spanning multiple platforms, regions, and currencies. These businesses also face a wide variety of local regulatory requirements,” said Shen. “As a core infrastructure provider, we must offer a seamless, one-stop global payment solution that allows businesses to manage all markets and funds through a single account.”

Thanks to Lianlian Digitech’s extensive global licensing footprint, proprietary technology platform, and broad partner ecosystem, LianLian Global offers integrated account-based payment solutions tailored to diverse business types—from eCommerce and B2B trade to service exports. Through a unified interface, clients can handle global collection, disbursement, multi-channel fund distribution, and foreign exchange—all with security and efficiency.

So, how can partnerships, technology, and compliance expertise come together to create truly seamless global payment systems?

According to Shen, two key pillars are essential:

1. A strong global network of partners.
   LianLian Global has established deep collaborations with leading institutions like Thunes, TerraPay, Standard Chartered, Citi, and Visa, enabling the creation of a globally interconnected infrastructure that delivers smarter, more seamless payment solutions.
2. Security and compliance.
   This includes robust payment licensing and an AI-powered risk control platform to ensure a secure, compliant environment for global transactions.

As of December 31, 2024, Lianlian Digitech had built a network of 65 global payment licenses and certifications, including a VATP license issued by Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission. The company has also developed a proprietary technology platform tailored to the complexities of international trade—offering clients integrated services covering payments, transfers, fund distribution, intelligent forex management, and risk mitigation.

Looking ahead, Shen highlighted the importance of global trust as a key enabler for sustained business growth.

“Trust from markets and users is built through compliance, local capabilities, and technological innovation. Trust from partners comes through collaborative development of interoperable systems that integrate payment networks, streamline operations, and break down cross-border payment barriers.”

“In today’s deeply interconnected economy, we look forward to partnering with banks, payment providers, and financial service institutions around the world to build a scalable and sustainable cross-border payments ecosystem.”
