What is Swipey?

Swipey is a Malaysian finops platform founded in 2021, built to help businesses replace petty cash and personal card use with prepaid Visa corporate cards, an expense dashboard, and automated bill payments.

Swipey issues its prepaid Visa cards through Fass Payment Solutions Sdn Bhd (Fasspay). Funds are held in a dedicated account at HSBC Bank. Swipey is trusted by over 3,000¹ businesses across Malaysia.

On its Plus plan, Swipey also offers a Multi-Entity feature that lets businesses manage multiple entities from a single login, with separate cards, budgets, and administrators per entity.²

This works well for holding companies, franchises, and businesses with multiple Malaysian subsidiaries.

Why look for a Swipey alternative?

Swipey is built around MYR-based business payments and financial operations. It supports international supplier payments and cross-border transfers, but businesses with more complex regional operations may need broader multi-currency capabilities.

For example, a business operating across Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand may need to receive, hold and spend money in multiple currencies without converting everything back to MYR first.

As of the date of publication, Swipey doesn't mention these capabilities on its website, so businesses with these requirements may need additional financial tools to manage their regional cash flow and currency needs.

Why Malaysian businesses choose Airwallex for spend management

Swipey covers the essentials for managing business spend in Malaysia. But businesses with more complex spending needs may want more control over foreign-currency spend, expense policy compliance, and purchasing, which is where Airwallex comes in.

Here’s what you get with Airwallex:

• Hold and spend in multiple currencies. Airwallex lets businesses hold 20+ currencies and issue corporate cards that spend directly from your held balances. Swipey does not currently offer multi-currency balances for businesses to hold and spend from.

• Automate expense policy checks. Airwallex's Expense Policy Agent uses AI to review every card expense and reimbursement against a company's own expense policies, flagging issues such as spending-limit breaches, duplicate receipts, missing information, and prohibited expense categories. Swipey does not currently offer an equivalent AI policy-review agent.

• Add purchase orders to your spend workflow. Airwallex includes Purchase Orders alongside expense management and Bill Pay, with 3-way matching to connect POs, invoices and receipts. Swipey does not currently offer a dedicated Purchase Order module.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What is Swipey and why do businesses look for alternatives?

Swipey is a Malaysian fintech platform that offers prepaid Visa corporate cards, expense management, bill payment automation, and international supplier payments. Businesses may look for alternatives when they need capabilities such as multi-currency balances, more advanced expense controls, or purchase order workflows.

Are Swipey cards credit cards or prepaid cards?

Swipey cards are prepaid Visa cards, so spending is limited to the funds available in the account rather than a credit facility. Swipey currently offers virtual and corporate cards, with card availability and limits varying by plan.

Which Swipey alternatives support multi-currency cards in Malaysia?

Airwallex issues multi-currency Visa corporate cards that can spend directly from held balances in 20+ currencies, with no international transaction fees when spending from a held balance.

Do Swipey alternatives integrate with Malaysian accounting software?

Yes. Swipey currently offers accounting integrations with Bukku, QuickBooks, and Xero. These integrations are available on its Freemium plan, so businesses don't need to upgrade to a paid plan just to connect their accounting software. Airwallex also integrates with Xero and QuickBooks at no extra cost, with NetSuite available on request.

Which Swipey alternatives offer purchase orders?

Airwallex, Aspire, and SAP Concur offer purchase order or purchase-request functionality, while Swipey does not currently offer a dedicated Purchase Order module. For businesses that want to manage purchasing approvals before an expense reaches the bill-payment stage, a platform with built-in PO workflows may provide a more complete purchasing process.
