Motiwala cultivates an untapped digital gold market in Southeast Asia

Published

on

Ever since the outbreak of Covid-19, investors worldwide have turned to transfer part of their assets into gold investment to avoid market uncertainties and take advantage of gold’s reliable store of value. Investors have always cited gold as a safe haven when market uncertainties intensify, and the events in 2020 further confirmed the established correlation between gold and market risk levels.

Since January 2020, the gold price has zipped up 25% by the end of the year, even hitting a record high of over $2,000 per ounce at one point for the first time in history.

Along with the growth of demand for gold-related investments, supply grows too. A Dubai-based precious metal supplier known as Motiwala caught sight of the growth in demand and is determined to make use of this opportunity to become a world leader in the precious metal industry.

How Motiwala accumulated sand grain into mountain

Motiwala Jewellers LLC is a certified precious metal refinery, gold processor, bullion manufacturer, and precious metal supplier based in Dubai. Renowned for its complete and diversified rare metal business network, Motiwala Jewellers is one of the top 5 gold merchants globally and one of the largest refineries in the Middle East region.

But Rome wasn’t built in a day. It takes a lot of passion and hard work to build such a spectacular precious metal empire. Its founder, Iqbal Bhai from Pakistan, founded Motiwala 40 years ago and has been in the gold industry since then. He started as a gold and jewellery wholesaler in his home country and later found success when he filed a patent for the international gold market fair in Dubai after discovering its undeveloped gold market.

Through several decades of development, Motiwala Jewellers established subsidiary companies to further diversify the range of services it provides and as an effort to complete its supply chain. It is now the holding company of Motiwala Gold Trading, Motiwala Gold & Precious Stone Industry, Motiwala Gold & Metal Laboratory, Shaheen Exchange.

Since then, the company’s businesses have expanded to cover gold mining, processing, jewellery design, jewellery retail stores, physical gold trading, gold and metal laboratories, precious stones & diamond retail stores, and currency exchange.

With its refinery and an ISO 17025 certified in-house laboratory, Motiwala can produce gold bullion at the finest quality and allow investors to purchase gold bars ranging from 1 gram to 100 grams in size at a competitive price in its physical stores, thus allowing all investors to start investing in gold regardless of their capital size.

Southeast Asia has a bright future as a digital gold haven

The gold market in Asia, Southeast Asia in particular, are underdeveloped, but experts are confident that Southeast Asia has a bright future as a digital gold haven in the near future as Southeast Asia has one of the fastest rates of digital payment adoption and more than 400 million internet users. The strong tech foundations were laid by the appealing regulatory landscape and strong government support that has escalated the growth of innovation and healthy competition in this region.

In response to the year-long pandemic crisis, part of the gold and jewellery retailers in Asia are moving their retail businesses onto the internet to reach online consumers and combat the highly contagious virus simultaneously. With robust governance and regulations, digital gold has been gaining much traction in the Southeast Asia market.

Tapping into Southeast Asia’s growing digital gold landscape

Envisioned to become the world leader for dealers and traders from across the globe and to achieve sustainable quality growth, Motiwala co-founded Moti Investment Capital (MIC) in 2018 to expand its global presence in the capital trading sector. The establishment of MIC will enable investors to achieve low-risk, sustainable returns using Motiwala’s unique set of the gold supply chain.

As the first step to globalize its operation, Motiwala has tapped into Southeast Asian countries, providing a wide array of services to the new countries, including asset management, physical gold trading and more. With Motiwala’s supply chain and diverse line of services, it will allow investors to purchase physical gold even if the investors are located outside of Dubai.

In 2018, member countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) had consumed 309 tonnes of gold, making Southeast Asia the third-largest market for gold in the world. With the combination of rapid digital adoption, the cultural importance of gold in the region, and low expansion costs, it makes Southeast Asia an ideal region as the first step in Motiwala’s globalization.

MOTIWALA announces partnership with BIS

Motiwala has recently announced its partnership with BIS to expand its global presence. BIS Holding is the first of its kind asset management firm to provide unique investment opportunities for investors, allowing clients to have the privilege to participate in the markets like a real corporate level liquidity provider.

“We are excited to partner with BIS,” said Iqbal Bhai, Founder of Motiwala group. “Through this strategic partnership, Motiwala and BIS can form a clear win-win relationship to provide more value to your existing customers. It would also bolster the long-term partnership between Motiwala and BIS as both firms continue to seek opportunities to achieve business expansion.”

OGRD Alliance Advances PLPC Multi-Asset Platform Following APHELAR Milestone, Expanding Licensing and Strategic Capital Frameworks

Published

on

DUBAI, UAE, October 6th, 2026, FinanceWire

Microdomain Science connects differentiated assets across personalized immuno-oncology, acellular biotechnology, MedTech and precision nutrition as OGRD Alliance expands international market access, asset-specific licensing, commercialization and strategic-capital initiatives.

OGRD Alliance L.L.C-FZ announced a new phase in the international development of PLPC Platform following the public listing with Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) of the APHELAR Family as Class A medical devices, with OGRD Alliance identified as Product Owner.

The milestone adds a defined MedTech pathway to PLPC Platform, extending a broader multi-asset architecture designed to support distinct scientific, regulatory and commercial development routes.

Singapore provides an important regulatory reference. In 2026, HSA achieved World Health Organization Maturity Level 4 (ML4) for medical-device regulation, the highest level under the applicable WHO benchmarking framework. For OGRD Alliance, the Singapore milestone establishes a concrete regulatory and documentary reference from which urisdiction-specific classification and market-access strategies can be developed internationally.

APHELAR is manufactured in Singapore by Smicna Pte Ltd., while OGRD Alliance remains Product Owner. Its Free Sale Certificate provides additional documentary support for international expansion.

From Microdomain Science to Differentiated Assets

PLPC Platform is developed from Microdomain Science, a framework focused on the spatial organization of membranes, interfaces and molecular microdomains within biological systems.

The platform translates this scientific foundation into distinct assets as a: ONCOVIX as a personalized immuno-oncology guidance and support program; PLPC-DB as an acellular biotechnology matrix; APHELAR as a microstructured MedTech platform; and ABIMPROSYC as a precision-nutrition platform.

Within APHELAR, Microdomain Interface Priming describes the physical organization of a localized and microstructured skin interface, consistent with the device’s primarily physical and structural intended purpose.

“PLPC Platform is designed to translate a common scientific architecture into differentiated assets capable of advancing through distinct regulatory and commercial pathways,” said Dr. Ramón Gutiérrez-Sandoval, oncologic pathologist and CSO of OGRD Alliance. “APHELAR now provides a tangible MedTech reference around which manufacturing, licensing and international expansion can be structured.”

Scalability, Licensing and Strategic Capital

The APHELAR milestone provides OGRD Alliance with a defined regulatory and manufacturing reference that can support the preparation of market-specific dossiers and market-access strategies for additional jurisdictions.

ABIMPROSYC, OGRD Alliance’s precision-nutrition platform, adds a complementary route to scale through a modular product architecture designed for territorial distribution, commercial licensing and, where appropriate, transfer of formulation or know-how for local manufacturing.

Together, APHELAR and ABIMPROSYC illustrate two distinct translation models within PLPC Platform: regulatory pathway scalability through MedTech and commercial portability through precision nutraceuticals.

In parallel, from its base in the United Arab Emirates, OGRD Alliance is expanding its international network of relationships with organizations specializing in regulatory affairs, market access, technology transfer, licensing, manufacturing, commercialization, transaction structuring and strategic capital across global markets.

PLPC’s multi-asset architecture enables licensing, partnerships and strategic-capital structures to be organized independently by asset, territory and development stage, without concentrating the platform in a single technology or jurisdiction.

About OGRD Alliance

OGRD Alliance L.L.C-FZ, based in the United Arab Emirates, develops PLPC Platform as a translational architecture connecting science, productization, regulatory access, technology transfer and international licensing, including asset- and territory-specific NewCo structures designed to support focused development, strategic capital and commercialization.

Scientific and Regulatory Scope: This release presents scientific, corporate and financial information of international scope. Class A classification refers specifically to APHELAR under Singapore’s HSA framework. Each asset is subject to the classification, indications, claims and regulatory requirements confirmed for each applicable jurisdiction, without extrapolation to other markets.

i-payout Introduces a New Approach to Payments, Closing the Beneficiary Information Gap

Published

on

Fort Lauderdale, USA, October 6th, 2026, FinanceWire

New payment delivery solution enables businesses to initiate payments with limited beneficiary information while giving recipients a secure, streamlined way to receive their funds.

International Payout Systems, Inc. (“i-payout”), a global payments technology provider, today announced a new payment delivery solution designed to modernize how businesses issue refunds, claims, reimbursements, and other payments when complete beneficiary payment information is not readily available.

Across industries including insurance, travel, e-commerce, e-sports, consumer products, and corporate services, businesses routinely encounter the same challenge: they know who needs to be paid and how much they are owed, but they may not have the banking, card, or other payment information necessary to deliver the funds.

i-payout’s Solution Changes That Process

Rather than requiring businesses to collect and maintain sensitive payment credentials before initiating a reimbursement, businesses can submit available beneficiary information, such as an email address, payment amount, and transaction or claim reference. i-payout then facilitates a secure digital payment experience that allows the beneficiary to provide the information required to receive the funds and select from available payment delivery options.

Traditional payment delivery processes can involve manual outreach, incomplete banking instructions, returned payments, and lengthy exchanges between businesses and beneficiaries. These processes increase operational costs while delaying access to funds.

Once a reimbursement is authorized, the beneficiary receives a secure notification directing them to complete the payment process by following secure, intuitive, self-guided steps.

This approach enables businesses to separate the decision to authorize a payment from the operational challenge of managing the payment delivery.

The solution is designed to support organizations managing high volumes of payments to individuals and businesses, including insurance claim reimbursements, airline and travel reimbursements, customer refunds, corporate and vendor reimbursements, and many others.

By centralizing beneficiary onboarding, payment information collection, payment-method selection, and disbursement within a single workflow, i-payout helps businesses replace fragmented reimbursement processes with scalable payment infrastructure.

Companies like Riot Games recognize that the future of reimbursements requires a more automated, seamless, and beneficiary-centric approach. Modernizing the refund process can significantly reduce the time between payment obligation and payment delivery, while eliminating many of the manual processes and operational complexities traditionally associated with issuing refunds. By leveraging an interoperable payment infrastructure, businesses can initiate reimbursements using the beneficiary information already available and allow recipients to securely complete any additional requirements and select their preferred method of payment. This creates a frictionless end-to-end process while providing beneficiaries with greater choice, convenience, and faster access to their funds.

The result is a fundamental shift in how these payments are managed: transforming what has historically been a fragmented process into a streamlined digital payment experience that benefits both the business and the beneficiary.

“The reimbursement market has historically focused on the question of how to move the money. We believe the bigger challenge starts one step earlier: How do you pay someone when you know money is owed but don’t have everything required to deliver it?” said Eddie Gonzalez, President & CEO of i-payout. “Our solution is designed to close that gap. The business tells us who needs to be paid and how much is owed. We provide the technology that enables the beneficiary to securely complete the payment journey and receive their funds.”

As consumers increasingly expect payments to be digital, fast, and convenient, reimbursement and refund experiences have often remained disconnected from the advances occurring elsewhere in payments. i-payout aims to change that.

By combining beneficiary engagement, secure information collection, payment orchestration, and global payment capabilities, i-payout is building infrastructure designed to turn reimbursement and refunds from a back-office process into a modern digital payment experience.

About i-payout

International Payout Systems, Inc. (“i-payout”) is a global payments technology company providing businesses with solutions for distributing funds to individuals and businesses across markets and payment methods. 

Its technology supports enterprise payment programs requiring recipient onboarding, payment delivery, transaction management, payment tracking and configurable disbursement workflows.

In 2009, Riot released its debut title, League of Legends, which has gone on to be one of the most-played PC games in the world. In the years since, Riot has released VALORANT, Teamfight Tactics, Legends of Runeterra, League of Legends: Wild Rift, Riftbound and 2XKO. Riot’s titles have led to the creation of some of the most-watched and widely recognized esports in the world, culminating in events like the League of Legends World Championship, VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) and the TFT Open, which are watched by millions of fans each year. Riot has also expanded its IP through multimedia projects across music, comic books, board games, and Arcane, its Emmy-winning animated series.
