NTT Data unveils integrated payment solutions suite Adaptis
Introduced at an exclusive brand launch event, Adaptis marks a strategic milestone in the company's transformation, bringing together innovation, flexibility and regional expertise to shape the future of commerce in Southeast Asia.
The Adaptis suite of services comprises five key offerings designed to empower businesses with enhanced flexibility and efficiency.
Adaptis In-Store is suited for seamless retail transactions, Adaptis e-Commerce for secure online payments, Adaptis Financing to support business growth, Adaptis Enterprise for scalable payment infrastructure, and Adaptis VAS (value-added services) is to optimise business operations.
NTT Data group CEO and executive director Sean Hesh said Adaptis is the company's answer to the evolving demands of the digital economy.
'Having served Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines for decades, and with over 500,000 touchpoints across these countries, we understand what businesses need. Adaptis is built to be flexible, localised, and future-ready, helping businesses scale efficiently while providing customers with seamless payment experiences,' he said.
NTT Data head of global payments and services division, Japan, Shinichiro Nishikawa emphasised the strategic importance of this evolution, stating that 'the future of payments is not just about transactions, it's about ecosystems.
'By bringing together Asian payments industry leaders under the NTT Data umbrella, we are building a more connected, intelligent, and resilient regional commerce infrastructure. Adaptis reflects our commitment to seamless integration, localised solutions, and large-scale innovation that empowers businesses worldwide,' he said.
The launch of Adaptis comes after the acquisition of GHL Systems Bhd by NTT Data Japan in 2024, making it a wholly owned subsidiary of one of the world's top ten global IT service providers.
In line with this strategic transformation, the company officially rebranded as NTT Data Payment Services Sdn Bhd on Nov 13, 2024, aligning with its new vision while maintaining the high standards of service that merchants and businesses have come to expect.
Following its debut in Malaysia, the Adaptis suite will be rolled out in Thailand and the Philippines later this year, strengthening NTT Data's commitment to delivering cutting-edge payment solutions across the region.

Airbus aircraft purchase will boost AirAsia's short-and medium-haul routes, says Anwar
PARIS: AirAsia's acquisition of the A321XLR aircraft from Airbus would strengthen the airline's operational capabilities for short- and medium-haul routes, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The Prime Minister, who witnessed the signing of the purchase agreement for the aircraft between AirAsia and Airbus here said: 'This acquisition not only expands the flight network but supports Malaysia's aspiration to emerge as a leading aviation hub in the Asian region. 'I also witnessed the exchange of a memorandum of understanding between 3P Capital Adviser and Ardian, a leading private investment firm from France, in an effort to explore investment opportunities in the private market,' he said after carrying out one-on-one business meetings with several companies here. Anwar said this initiative had the potential to broaden Malaysians' access to alternative investments. In a meeting with Imerys, an industrial minerals processing company that has been operating in Malaysia for over 25 years, Anwar was informed of their commitment to expand operations and support the development of a high-value and environmentally friendly manufacturing sector in the country. 'I also met with Arkema, a global leader in specialty chemicals, which is currently assessing the potential for new investments in Malaysia. 'This could create more high-skilled jobs, accelerate technology transfer, and strengthen Malaysia's position as a key bioeconomy hub in the Asian region,' he added.

Philippines says mild US tariff drove ‘strong' investor interest
MANILA: The global tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump in April triggered "strong' investor interest in the Philippines, which was threatened with a lower levy than most neighbours, a top trade official said. New investors are considering setting up shop in the SouthEast Asian nation, while companies seeking to divert orders are looking to tap existing Philippine businesses with excess capacity, Trade Undersecretary Ceferino Rodolfo (pic) said in an interview on Thursday (July 3). Trump's tariffs, which were paused for 90 days to July 9 to allow negotiations, included levies of 46% for Vietnam, 36% for Thailand, 32% for Indonesia and 24% for Malaysia. In contrast, the Philippines was only threatened with a relatively low levy of 17%, making it attractive compared to its South-East Asian neighbours. "In our discussions with investors, they are saying the investments in the Philippines will indeed happen. It's just a question of magnitude, depending on the result of July 9,' Rodolfo said. Electronics, garments, wearables and sporting goods companies have expressed interest in investing in the Philippines since Trump's tariff announcement, the trade official added. While Trump paused the higher tariffs, in general reducing them to 10% during the negotiation period, countries are racing to reach agreements as the tariff deadline looms. Trump on Wednesday announced a deal with Vietnam that lowers the 46% levy announced in April to 20%. Manila viewed the initial tariff imposed by the US as beneficial to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr's push to woo investments, with a lower rate compared to its Asian neighbours. But challenges including poor infrastructure, high energy costs and regulatory unpredictability have been constant concerns among foreign investors looking at the Philippines. The Philippines' approved foreign investments dropped in the first quarter, the most recent period for which data are available. The cloudy trade outlook has also prompted the government to slash its goal for economic growth this year. But Rodolfo said that even with the US-Vietnam deal, investor interest in the Philippines will likely be sustained. "The Philippines is a fair and decent country to trade with and invest in,' he said. "Among the countries in the region, we stand out as the country that really espouses market-based approach.' US trade with the Philippines totalled around US$23.5 billion in 2024, with Washington recording a deficit of $4.9 billion with Manila, according to US government data. That compares with a deficit of $45.6 billion with Thailand and $123.5 billion with Vietnam. - Bloomberg

South Korea may ask US to extend tariff freeze
SEOUL: South Korea's Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo said yesterday that he might request an extension of the freeze on US tariffs that is set to expire within days when he heads to Washington for talks with US officials. Yeo, who became South Korea's new trade envoy last month, is due to fly to the US yesterday and plans to hold talks with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and other senior officials today, just ahead of the July 9 deadline when US tariffs could rise sharply. US President Donald Trump said his administration would start sending letters yesterday to countries specifying what tariff rates they will face on imports into the US. Yeo said the substance of negotiations mattered more than the deadline, noting he would ask the US to take time and accelerate talks to reach a 'win-win' deal. South Korea has sought exemptions from Trump's punishing tariffs on imports of automobiles and steel products, as well as a 25% 'reciprocal' levy on the Asian ally currently paused for negotiations. The government of Asia's fourth-largest economy, which is currently subject to a blanket 10% tariff, agreed with the US in their opening round of trade talks in late April to craft a trade deal reducing tariffs by the July deadline. However, negotiations appear to have made little progress and were hampered by political uncertainty over the last few months following South Korea's martial law crisis with President Lee Jae Myung elected as the new leader on June 3. President Lee said on Thursday that the ongoing talks between Seoul and its ally Washington had 'not been easy', adding the two sides were not clear on what they want. Washington is demanding better access to the agriculture and car sectors, and improved market access and non-discriminatory treatment in the digital sector, Minister Yeo told a parliamentary hearing yesterday. 'The government will respond flexibly by taking into account the level of the US demands and domestic political security sensitivities,' Yeo said. Yeo also said that the US was asking for larger investments by South Korean companies in the country and increased South Korean purchases of US energy supplies. Although South Korea has shown interest in a US$44 billion (RM185 billion) LNG project in Alaska, Yeo said the feasibility of the project was still not clear and the US would only provide more information later in the year. South Korea's efforts to reach a trade deal come as Trump said Vietnam and the US had agreed on a 20% tariff rate on imports from Vietnam, down from an initial 46% rate he threatened. Yeo said South Korean companies that use the Southeast Asian country as a manufacturing base would be affected by those tariffs. – Reuters
