Circle Asia

Circle Asia Technologies is a Singapore-headquartered consumer fintech (offices at 68 Circular Road, Singapore, and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) behind the Circle app and the VPBank Circle PayLater credit card, a digital buy-now-pay-later card issued in partnership with Vietnam Prosperity Joint Stock Commercial Bank (VPBank). The product lets consumers onboard with only an ID and phone number, waives the lifetime annual fee, and pairs a physical and virtual card with AI-assisted expense management, spending limits, one-tap card lock, biometric (face/fingerprint) authentication, and real-time SMS/app transaction alerts. The company is PCI DSS v4.0.1 certified and Visa-compliant, ships native iOS and Android apps, and is backed by 500 Global. Circle Asia is a consumer application company with no public developer API; this profile captures its identity, security posture, and compliance claims for the API Evangelist network.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Circle Asia the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Circle Asia scores 13.0/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Circle Asia

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Circle Asia. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

Security Posture 1

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
