Thredd has brought Visa Cloud Connect live in Asia Pacific to strengthen its cloud-based issuing infrastructure.
The setup is centralised in Singapore, Thredd’s regional cloud hub for Asia Pacific.
It is designed to help clients launch card programmes faster, shorten release cycles and improve platform reliability.
Visa Cloud Connect gives organisations access to VisaNet, Visa’s global payments network, through cloud-based infrastructure.
For Thredd, the rollout is part of a wider move away from traditional data centre hardware toward cloud-native infrastructure with direct network connectivity.
The company expects the shift to reduce reliance on third-party intermediaries and give it more control over platform performance, monitoring and resilience.
Damien Gough, Head of APAC at Thredd, said: Visa Cloud Connect represents an important step in the evolution of our infrastructure strategy across Asia Pacific. The industry is moving beyond traditional processing environments toward cloud-native, real-time financial orchestration, where speed, resilience, scalability and adaptability increasingly determine competitive advantage.
By implementing direct cloud connectivity into VisaNet through our Singapore regional hub, we are strengthening the operational foundation that supports faster programme deployment, improved platform visibility and greater flexibility as clients expand across markets, rails and emerging payment models, he said.
Gough also pointed to changes in AI, agentic commerce and multi-rail payments as areas that require more flexible infrastructure.
The rollout supports Thredd’s hosted model in Asia Pacific.
This allows fintechs, digital banks and other digital-first businesses to use Thredd-managed infrastructure without building and maintaining their own direct environment.
The move also gives Thredd more flexibility to support local deployments where client or market requirements call for them.
