File No. 333-267662
Dear Alexander Edgarov:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the following
comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we
may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you
provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Unless we note
otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our February 6, 2023 letter.
Amendment No. 2 to Form S-4 filed February 13, 2023
The funding process used by certain customers of Tranglo relies on cryptocurrency issued by one
of our strategic partners..., page 54
1.We note your revised risk factor in response to comment 7. Given your relationship with
Ripple, please tell us why you cannot provide any assurances that Ripple has all relevant
licenses and approvals.
Divestitures, page 97
2.We note your response to comment 10. It appears that Mr. Alex Kong, the Chairman and
controlling shareholder of Seamless following the business combination, will retain a
significant ownership percentage in the Divestiture Entities following the divestitures.

Please tell us how this is consistent with Section 7.20 of the Business Combination
Agreement which notes that upon consummation of the divestitures, the Divestiture
Entities will no longer be affiliates of Seamless. We also note that the investment
mandate as set forth in the prospectus for InFinT's initial public offering stated that InFinT
did not intend to acquire any business which does business in China or Hong Kong.
Given that TNG Asia and GEA comprise the predominate portion of Tranglo's Hong
Kong related revenue, and that they will continue to remain customers after the
divestitures, please explain how the board determined that the continued relationship with
TNG Asia and GEA following the business combination was consistent with the
investment mandate.
Background of the Business Combination, page 106
3.We note your revised disclosure in response to comment 16 and that the management
team reviewed "agreements related to" the relationship between Ripple and Seamless.
Please revise to explain what agreements were reviewed and how the review of these
agreements impacted management's evaluation of the relationship with Ripple.
4.We note your response to comment 19 that the materials referenced do not constitute
reports, opinions or appraisals within the meaning of Item 1015. Please provide a more
detailed legal analysis explaining why the referenced materials do not constitute reports,
opinions, or appraisals within the meaning of Item 1015, and why the company does not
consider such information to be material to the transaction, if true. We note that ARC and
Jones Trading each determined an implied enterprise valuation through their valuation
analysis, and that these analyses were used to support a counter offer of a $400 million
valuation and were "used by the management for purposes of discussions with the target."
In addition, the comparable company valuation analyses prepared with ARC and Jones
Trading are listed as factors supporting the InFinT's Board's decision to enter into the
Business Combination Agreement. Alternatively, amend your disclosure to provide the
information required by Item 1015(b) of Regulation M-A and Item 4(b) of Form S-4.

5.We note your responses to comments 24, 32 and 33. Please revise your graphical
presentations on pages 175 and 187 and descriptions of the journeys to provide further

beneficiary. Please ensure your disclosure addresses who controls the assets before and
after the various transfers in the process and disclose the various rights and obligations of
each party in the process at the various stages. Please disclose what each party gives up
and receives along the journeys. In addition, please revise the graphic and/or paragraphs
for consistency to use consistent terms to describe the parties and transactions. In this
regard, please clarify who/what “participants,” “remittance hub,” “remittance agent,” and
“payout agent” are. Please also tell us your consideration of adding prefunding as a step
in the graphic’s journey. Please clarify if the remittance licensee are depositing funds

with Tranglo, if Tranglo makes payments directly to beneficiaries and the roles of
remittance agents and payout agents.
Please clarify how you record the receipt and subsequent liquidation of the XRP in the
ODL transactions. Your response appears to only focus on the prefunding process that
involves cash. Please refer to steps 3 and 4 in your descriptions of the journey on page
187. Also, please tell us how you account for the formation and subsequent activity in the
Slippage Pool mentioned in the first and second paragraphs on page 187, including
deposits, draw downs and selling of XRP. In step 2 of the journey on page 187, please
clarify who has custody of the XRP digital wallet accounts. If you have custody, please
tell us how you account for them. In step 3 of the journey on page 187, please clarify if
you are buying or borrowing XRP from the Remittance Licensee and then liquidating for
cash. Please tell us who controls the XRP immediately prior to the sale on your
exchange. Also, please clarify your role in the XRP exchange transaction. In this regard,
tell us if you are the buyer or are you introducing the Remittance Licensee to a market
maker that is the counter party to the purchase of XRP.
