Lianlian Global Launches Innovative Global Payout Service with Thunes as First Strategic Partner

Published

on

HANGZHOU, China, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Lianlian Digitech’s brand, Lianlian Global, announced that it has released a new global payment service, Lianlian Global Payout Service (LGPS), providing global payment services for cross-border payment service providers (PSPs), banks, and other licensed financial institutions. Through Lianlian’s global payment network, LGPS helps PSPs and other licensed financial institutions break through international payment boundaries and achieve faster, more stable and safer fund transfers.

Economic globalization, regional integration, and digital development have increased the frequency of cross-border trade activities, driving higher demand for cross-border payments. Traditional systems like bank wire transfers, remittance companies, and third-party payments are commonly used but come with challenges such as high costs, slow processing times, and complex procedures due to manual operations and multiple intermediary banks. The rise of cross-border e-commerce and online B2B transactions has further fragmented the payment flows, making traditional payment methods less effective for the current needs of cross-border trade.

To address these challenges, Lianlian Global has launched the LGPS product. This innovative solution empowers overseas PSPs, banks, and other financial institutions to offer global payment services essential for cross-border trade. With LGPS, these institutions can make payments to China and various regions worldwide through a unified API interface, ensuring a more transparent, secure, efficient, and traceable global payment experience.

Lianlian Global’s LGPS effectively addresses the pain points of traditional cross-border payments. It supports various business scenarios, including B2B and B2C, meeting the diverse payment needs of different customers. LGPS offers fast transaction speeds and low costs by leveraging a global fund processing network and optimizing intermediate links through the local bank clearing network, allowing real-time RMB credits without multiple intermediary banks. This approach reduces handling fees and costs significantly. Additionally, based on more than 60 payment service licenses and qualifications in the system and its independently developed anti-money laundering and anti-fraud risk control system, Lianlian can provide cross-border merchants with safe and compliant full-process and full-link cross-border services, making cross-border payments more secure. The process is transparent, enabling customers to initiate transactions, query balances, and download reports with ease.

The launch of Lianlian Global’s LGPS product is gaining worldwide recognition. Thunes, a global money movement innovator and cross-border payment infrastructure platform, will be Lianlian Global’s first strategic partner. By leveraging the network coverage of both companies, this partnership enhances the global payment capabilities of both Lianlian Global and Thunes, providing bilateral support for their clients and expanding their reach.

Thunes has one of largest digital wallet networks in the world. Thunes provides cross- border payments in 130 countries with a reach of over 3 billion digital wallet accounts and over 4 billion bank accounts. Thunes facilitates real-time and transparent payments in more than 80 currencies, using local payment methods, including 120 mobile wallets like PayPal, M-Pesa and Airtel, for gig economy giants like Uber and Deliveroo, super-apps like Grab and WeChat, IMTOs, Fintechs, PSPs and banks.

Thunes CEO, Floris de Kort, commented: “We welcome Lianlian to the Thunes Global Network with direct, real-time connectivity to 3 billion digital wallets and 4 billion bank accounts around the world. Lianlian is a highly respected leader in cross-border e-commerce, and we are happy to partner with them to provide the fastest, most transparent and fully compliant global payment solutions in the industry to over 1 million merchants in China.”

Lianlian Global is an innovative enterprise in the fields of payments, finance, and services for China’s cross-border trade. Its offerings include cross-border payments, global collection, global distribution, and exchange services. Lianlian Global provides integrated cross-border trade services to a diverse range of customers, including cross-border e-commerce, platforms, institutions, foreign trade, and overseas study and education organizations. As of last year, Lianlian’s business operations span over 100 countries and regions, supporting more than 130 currencies and serving approximately 3.2 million customers.

Shen Enguang, co-CEO of Lianlian Global said, “We are always committed to building a digital payment and service collaboration network for global enterprises, institutions and individuals, and helping enterprises carry out global cross-border business.”

The launch of the Lianlian Global Payout Service marks another significant step for Lianlian in delivering seamless payment experiences for overseas licensed financial institutions and other customers, while expanding the boundaries of global payments. Leveraging its strong compliance and technological innovation capabilities, along with its global payment and financial network, Lianlian aims to collaborate with more payment service providers like Thunes, as well as banks and other financial institutions. This collaboration will provide end-to-end payment services, significantly shorten the payment process, enhance the efficiency of cross-border payments, and create new opportunities and value in international payments and global cross-border trade.

LUMIQ Raises INR 50 Crore Pre-Series B to Become the AI Decision Layer for Financial Services

Published

on

By

While most AI in financial services remains advisory, LUMIQ has built the layer that owns the decision — autonomous, auditable AI agents making regulated calls in production at leading banks, insurers, and capital markets firms. Today, LUMIQ serves clients across India, the United States, and Southeast Asia — leading institutions across insurance, banking, and capital markets.

NEW DELHI and MUMBAI, India, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LUMIQ, an AI-native financial services company, today announced a strategic funding round to scale auto-decisioning for financial institutions across the United States and Southeast Asia. The round was led by Bajaj Finserv, one of India’s largest and most diversified financial services groups, with participation from existing investor Info Edge Ventures.

Right now, thousands of customers are waiting for a policy to be issued, a loan to be disbursed, a claim to be adjudicated, because somewhere an FSI employee is drowning in decisions, held back by the risk of getting it wrong. Today, when e-commerce delivers the same day, banks and insurers still decide in weeks. We built LiteCone to take that burden: AI decides the routine cases, completely and accountably, so humans spend their judgment on the one case that actually needs it. This round lets us bring that to every financial institution in the markets that matter most.
Shoaib Mohammad, Co-founder and CEO, LUMIQ

From AI that assists to AI that decides

For decades, financial institutions have bought technology that made their people faster — faster data, faster scoring, faster copilots. The decision still landed on a human. LUMIQ is changing that. Through its LiteCone platform, the company deploys AI agents that read the file, apply the institution’s own guidelines, and reach the decision end to end — escalating only the cases that genuinely require human judgment. The output is not a recommendation. It is a decision, with full reasoning attached, cross-referenced to policy, and defensible under audit.

The results in production speak clearly. At a leading life insurer, LUMIQ’s LEO agent decides 75–80% of underwriting cases with zero human touch, reduced policy issuance cost by roughly 25%, and compressed turnaround from days to under eight minutes — running 24×7 with complete auditability. Across its client base spanning insurance, banking, and capital markets in India, the US, and Southeast Asia, LUMIQ now processes millions of decisions annually.

LiteCone turns a real financial-services role into a working AI agent in weeks. Every agent we deploy is consistent, explainable, compliant, and auditable by design — not as an afterthought. This capital lets us go deeper on the platform and broader across roles. And through our cloud and AI lab partnerships, institutions will increasingly find LiteCone already embedded in the platforms they run today.
Vaibhav Dobriyal, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, LUMIQ

This round funds four priorities: expanding go-to-market in the US and Southeast Asia; deepening LiteCone’s decisioning capabilities; extending the agent workforce across more financial-services roles; and building a partnership ecosystem with cloud hyperscalers, AI labs, and core banking and insurance platforms so LiteCone is embedded where institutions already run.

LUMIQ’s investors backed the round for the same reason its customers adopt LiteCone: agents already deciding in production, with auditability and control built in.

As a financial-services group, we know how much rests on getting regulated decisions right, at speed and at scale. LUMIQ has built AI agents that decide in production with auditability and control built in, the capability the industry has been moving toward. We are proud to lead this round and to support the team’s expansion across the US and Southeast Asia.
Lakshmi Iyer, Group President – Investments & CEO, Bajaj Alternates

Our conviction is grounded in what LUMIQ has already built. Their AI agents aren’t just built for the future. They are operating in production today, at speed. This combination is rare, and its value will only compound as the company scales globally.
Girish Jhunjhunwala, Fund Manager – PE and VC Investments, Bajaj Alternates

Financial services is one of the hardest categories to crack — regulated, risk-averse, and unforgiving of hype. LUMIQ has put agentic AI into live financial-services workflows and earned the trust of large institutions across the US, Southeast Asia and India. That is how a category-defining company in financial-services AI gets built, and we are proud to keep backing the team as they scale globally.
Kitty Agarwal, Partner, Info Edge Ventures

LUMIQ’s goal is to lead one category: auto-decisioning at production scale for financial services. Agents that act, not assist, and never compromise audit, compliance, or predictability.

About LUMIQ

LUMIQ is an AI-native financial services company. Through its LiteCone platform and a growing workforce of production AI agents, LUMIQ turns real financial-services roles — insurance underwriter, credit underwriter, claims adjudicator — into agents that are consistent, explainable, compliant, and auditable. The company pairs deep domain expertise across banking, insurance, and capital markets with frontier AI. LUMIQ employs over 350 AI and data specialists, and has offices in New Jersey, Singapore, and Delhi NCR (India).
