Visitors to China can now pay by scanning QR codes or payment codes, making the process more convenient. Since July, Tencent has deepened its collaboration with global credit card organisations such as Visa and Mastercard to improve the payment experience of foreign tourists in China.

In another development, Ant Group's digital wallet and payment system Alipay, together with Ascend's True Money, will today announce a collaboration to support a scan payment service for Thais travelling in China.

Users of mPay (Macau SAR, China), Hipay (Mongolia), Changi Pay (Singapore), OCBC (Singapore), Naver Pay (South Korea), Toss Pay (South Korea) and TrueMoney (Thailand) will be able to use their familiar home e-wallets on their own phone to enjoy seamless mobile payment experience in the Chinese mainland across Alipay's merchant network.

The new additions bring the total number of overseas e-wallets accepted in the Chinese mainland to 10. AlipayHK (Hong Kong SAR, China), Touch 'n Go eWallet (Malaysia), and Kakao Pay (South Korea) piloted the program in late 2022. In total, these payment methods reach a population of over 175 million in Southeast and East Asia.
