Under the agreement, Lightnet will receive a strategic stake in Revo, which is Raffles FO’s digital asset wealth management platform.

Lightnet will enhance its payment network to include institutional funds transfer, which forms a key part of Raffles FO’s products to help ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) families in the region via Revo.

Through the deal, Lightnet seeks to improve the payments and remittance across various categories, including unbanked and underbanked spaces as well as wealthy individuals and family offices.
