Global fintech Unlimit announced today that actor, producer, and entrepreneur Simu Liu will be the company’s first global brand ambassador. The Chinese-Canadian megastar leads Unlimit’s biggest campaign to date, headlining a high-impact advert behind the scenes of a movie production set. The campaign shows businesses how important it is to choose the “right” partner in payments and allow customers to pay any way they want, anywhere they want.
Debuting online on March 3, 2025, across the APAC, EMEA, UK, and LATAM regions, the ad will be the first step in announcing Simu Liu as Unlimit’s first global brand ambassador. It will continue running across various digital channels for the remainder of 2025.

While doing this, he highlights various business use cases, showing how Unlimit can tackle different payment challenges all over the globe thanks to its vast payment infrastructure and portfolio of 1000+ payment methods.
The ad was produced by Paradox House Creative and directed by Oscar-winner Joachim Back. Critically acclaimed co-chief producers Alex Chang, Merlin Merton, Kristina Tywoniuk and Mike Jones are the team behind the campaign’s creative, production, and post-production aspects.

“Unlimit’s mission—to eliminate financial borders—immediately drew me in; I apply the vision of being limitless to all aspects of my work,” said Simu Liu. “In the entertainment industry, you need to be as versatile as possible, catering to all scenarios and adjusting to any role; in the global business world, a payment provider has to do the same. I am thrilled to partner with Unlimit, who have successfully supported businesses across the globe for over 15 years, to deliver this message.”
