This partnership marks a significant milestone in QCC's expansion within the SEA fintech ecosystem and underscores the CAKU solution's ability to accelerate digital banking transformation and innovation.
The partner institution is a core subsidiary of one of the leading neobanks in SEA, dedicated to providing individual customers with sustainable, customer-focused credit card products and credit-backed, QR code-based payment services.

Driving Agile Business Innovation Flexible and Powerful Product Capabilities
Leveraging the CAKU platform, QCC will provide the client with an industry-leading credit card issuance and management solution. The project scope includes core software delivery, comprehensive documentation, and related resources. The solution supports extensive customization through modular configuration tailored to the client's specific business requirements.
QCC will also deliver end-to-end professional services, including project management, solution design and development, testing, training, and system deployment, ensuring efficient and seamless implementation.
Key features of the CAKU solution include:
- Rapid Deployment and High Customization: Parameter-driven and scenario-based configurations enable one-click product deployment and iteration, ensuring a customer-centric approach.
- Scalable Growth Architecture: Multi-tier credit limit management, personalized points systems, and flexible account structures support large-scale business growth.
