Summary

H-Pay Service PLC is a Cambodia-based payment company incorporated in October 2024 that U.S. regulators allege is a successor entity to Huione Pay, itself a subsidiary of the Huione Group — a conglomerate FinCEN designated as a primary money laundering concern in October 2025 for laundering at least $4 billion in illicit proceeds linked to North Korean state-sponsored cyber heists and Southeast Asian pig-butchering scam networks. On June 23–24, 2026, FinCEN proposed amending its Huione Group final rule to explicitly encompass H-Pay Service PLC and any future successors, while the DOJ simultaneously seized backend cloud infrastructure used by Huione Group subsidiaries to process billions in fraud proceeds. H-Pay is alleged to have assumed Huione Pay's branches, customer base, branding, and operational footprint specifically to circumvent the existing U.S. financial restrictions imposed on Huione Group.
