Aung Kyaw Moe
Aung Kyaw Moe, founder of Singapore-headquartered global payments company 2C2P, has announced his departure from the CEO position after leading the company for 22 years.
Moe announced on LinkedIn that he will be stepping down in the first week of April 2025.
Thai Khun Piyachart, CEO of 2C2P Thailand, will also be stepping down.
“With 2C2P in good hands, I am thrilled to embark on new adventures. As a DBA Candidate at the Sasin School of Management, I will dedicate some of my time to my research: How Southeast Asia Startups Succeed and Fail—Understanding the Growth Gap. I am also working on my memoir, “Red Kite,” recounting my personal and entrepreneurial journey. And I can’t wait to spend more time flying my little plane to new places and meeting new people,” Moe said in the post.

Moe reflected on the journey, acknowledging the failures, triumphs, setbacks, and encounters that have shaped the fintech firm.
Founded in April 2003 in Bangkok, Thailand, 2C2P emerged even before the term fintech gained widespread recognition. The firm helps businesses securely accept payments across online, mobile and in-store channels.
Headquartered in Singapore, 2C2P operates across Southeast Asia and Hong Kong.
In April 2022, Ant Group’s international business arm acquired a majority stake in 2C2P to develop integrated products and solutions with its Antom merchant payment and digitisation platform.
In a separate LinkedIn post, Gary Liu, General Manager, Antom, said: “Under Aung’s visionary leadership, 2C2P has achieved remarkable milestones, solving complex payment challenges for enterprise merchants across the region and earning its reputation as a trusted payments partner. These accomplishments stand as a testament to Aung’s unwavering dedication, strategic foresight, and ability to inspire teams to deliver excellence.”
Liu also noted that the company would appoint a capable CEO to guide the team forward, building on the strong foundation Aung has established. “Antom and 2C2P have built on our joint innovation and ecosystem reach to serve leading global and local merchants, driving their transformation and growth in Southeast Asia. Amidst the region’s evolving digital transformation and payments landscape, Antom and 2C2P will remain at the forefront of this evolution as one unified team. Our shared mission is to empower merchants of all sizes with cutting-edge solutions and world-class services, continuously fueling their growth so that they can thrive in a digital era.”
