London - one of the most well-known and visited cities in the world. It’s synonymous with history, weather, architecture and the urban fox.

Two years ago, RoyalPay came to Jumbla to help launch one of Australia’s first payment platforms for WeChat and AliPay. One stunning explainer video and $2 billion worth of transactions later, they’re back again -- this time, to promote a new individualised Australian e-wallet solution for cross-continental transactions, powered by a neobank.
