“跨境资金秒级到账意义不大,如果这些资金仍需数天才能投入使用,”PhotonPay创始人兼首席执行官刘易斯·陈(Lewison Chen)表示。
“Moving money across borders in seconds means little if it still takes days to put that capital to work,” said Lewison Chen, founder and chief executive of PhotonPay.
PhotonPay成立于2015年的香港,通过应用程序编程接口提供支付基础设施,使企业和技术平台能够将金融服务集成到自身产品中。

然而,人工智能赋能的金融服务扩张将取决于底层银行关系、监管批准和支付基础设施,而非仅靠软件。
However, the expansion of AI-enabled financial services will depend on underlying banking relationships, regulatory approvals and payment infrastructure, rather than software alone.
“建立本地金融能力需要多年的投资、机构合作伙伴关系和监管参与。仅靠软件或人工智能模型无法复制这种深度,”PhotonPay首席合规官JP Pi表示。
“Establishing local financial capabilities takes years of investment, institutional partnerships, and regulatory engagement. Software or AI models alone cannot replicate that depth,” said JP Pi, chief compliance officer at PhotonPay.
