SINGAPORE, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- EBANX, a global technology company specializing in payment services for emerging markets, will inaugurate an Asia-Pacific Headquarters in Singapore on March 24. The HQ will further strengthen EBANX's presence in the APAC region, where the company has been partnering with leading e-commerce merchants to support their expansion into emerging markets since its founding in 2012.

In 2025, 36% of EBANX's Total Payment Volume (TPV) was processed for APAC. Founded in Brazil, the company serves over 100 enterprise merchants in the region, including AliExpress, Gravity Game Vision, Weverse, XTransfer, and Canva. EBANX expects 30% TPV growth in APAC in 2026, driven by purchases from consumers and businesses in over 20 emerging markets where the company processes payments.

"We keep seeing a strong expansion movement of APAC merchants into emerging markets, especially in Latin America and Africa," said João Del Valle, CEO and Co-founder of EBANX. "In the current global landscape, companies are searching for diversified growth opportunities, strengthening South-South ties and building resilient global partnerships," he added.

EBANX has strengthened its presence across Asia. Since 2019, the company has maintained its largest office outside Brazil in Shanghai, China, and, since 2024, a dedicated team in India. In 2025, it obtained a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). Last month, Eduardo de Abreu, Chief Product Officer (CPO) of EBANX, was also appointed CEO of EBANX Singapore and relocated to the new HQ.

The expansion of EBANX's position in APAC builds on its long-standing relationship with the region. "The first story of EBANX is truly the story of APAC merchants' growth," said Del Valle, emphasizing that the company's first product, 14 years ago, was the integration of Brazilian payment methods for Chinese retail giants. Since then, the company has served more than 250 merchants based in the region.

Payment innovation and market expansion

Since 2015, Singapore has been EBANX's primary center for funds transfer capabilities. "With the inauguration of the new Headquarters, we are strengthening our presence in one of the world's leading hubs for innovation and technology," said Abreu. In addition to the CPO, 25 professionals will be based at the HQ, including senior leaders overseeing engineering, technology, treasury, compliance, market development, and merchant success. 

According to the IMF, MAS has managed to strike the right balance between progress and safety and soundness, positioning the city-state as a leading example in fintech innovation and regulation. The most recent data from KPMG on Singapore's fintech sector shows that this environment has attracted over USD 1 billion in investments in the first half of 2025 alone, with the payments vertical leading the way, accounting for 47% of the total deal value.

"EBANX's HQ in Singapore will serve as one of the key anchors of our global product strategy, becoming a cornerstone for the development of payment solutions for e-commerce merchants around the world," explained Abreu. The new center will also drive global market expansion, supporting North American and European companies to reach fast-growing economies such as India and the Philippines.

EBANX announces HQ in Singapore and forecasts a 30% growth for APAC merchants in 2026

NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hilco Global IP Services practice today officially released the first additional details about its offering of the Omniverse Collection, created by Stan Lee. The portfolio includes more than 200 characters, story worlds, trademarks and other largely unexploited creative assets. Three properties will stand out for many buyers: The Femizons, Slam-Girl, and The Accuser. Offers are due by 12:00 noon ET, December 8, 2026. The firm was engaged by Stan Lee Holdings, Ltd. (SLH) to conduct the sale.

The Collection captures Stan Lee's visionary effort to reinvent super hero entertainment for the Internet age through original characters, connected digital worlds and audience participation. A buyer has an opportunity to extend Lee's historic creative legacy by developing new characters, expanding existing worlds and creating interactive experiences for global audiences.

The Femizons is a female-led franchise introduced by Stan Lee in 1971 and rebooted in 1991. The franchise of heroes and villains includes more than 40 characters, is set in a world where women hold dominant societal power, and carries a heritage and modern-day relevance that few properties can match.

Slam-Girl, created by Stan Lee with animation director Will Meugniot in 2000 as the internet-age super hero for the new millennium, is a reluctant, budding feminist heroine with a twist on the classic origin story. Shirrel Rhoades, the former Marvel Entertainment executive vice president and Stan Lee confidant advising SLH, calls her Stan's intended next generation super hero.

The Accuser, also created by Lee in 2000, is a former attorney turned super hero. Paralyzed by a horrific attack that also killed his wife, a mysterious benefactor then gifts him a wheelchair which transforms into mechanized armor capable of moving his legs. The Collection includes 22 webisodes, a TV script, and an opportunity to evolve a character with a special connection to differently abled people globally.

"The Omniverse Collection constitutes original IP with meaningful creator provenance, substantial creative flexibility, and room for a new owner to define the canon, audience, and commercial strategy," said Eric Hurwitz, Senior Director of the Hilco Global IP Services practice. "This is a compelling value proposition for a studio, publisher, game company, licensing business, entertainment operator, or strategic investor."

"These are pieces of a living universe in which characters can be created, experienced, and expanded across every form of media," added Shirrel Rhoades, Stan Lee Collaborator and Former EVP at Marvel Entertainment. "I look forward to seeing how the Collection's acquirer applies their own vision to achieve, and even surpass, the future that my friend and colleague, Stan Lee, imagined for these creations."

Parties can contact Eric Hurwitz at ehurwitz@hilcoglobal.com or Stella Silverstein at ssilverstein@hilcoglobal.com to register interest and access collection documentation in the official data room. More details are forthcoming.
