After the successful development and rollout of his gaming mouse, Tan went on to build a full-service gaming hardware company. Now the firm is entering the FinTech realm. A primary prodycr is Razer Pay, a digital payment solution platform that serves the B2C front in Asian markets.

Growth has been rapid. Razer Fintech quickly ascended to be among the largest offline-to-online digital payment networks in Southeast Asia. Tan said his firm has already processes billions of dollars in payments since 2018. This includes Razer Pay and Razer Merchant Services. The latter serves the B2B market.

Min-Liang Tan said last year was all about getting ahead of the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. Everyone knew economic consequences were coming. How it would play out was anyone’s guess, however. Tan opted to commit $50 million upfront to support its partners through Razer Gold, zVentures and Razer Fintech.

Min-Liang Tan also created #RAZERFORLIFE. This is an operation that converted Razer manufacturing facilities to produce surgical masks that were donated for free. He said the effort was global and shows his company’s commitment to giving back to the communities that support his business.
