Ant International’s Alipay+ gateway has signed its first bank partner in Hong Kong. Hang Seng Bank customers can now pay by scanning a QR code at more than 100 million merchants across 55 countries and regions, Ant International said in a July 24 press release.
The service supports both “scan to pay” and “show code to pay,” with the amount displayed in Hong Kong dollars based on the Alipay+ exchange rate before the user confirms, according to the release. The covered markets include China, Europe, the United States, Australia, South Korea and Malaysia.
“Customers increasingly expect seamless payment solutions when traveling overseas,” Rannie Lee, head of retail banking and wealth at Hang Seng Bank, said in the release. “By partnering with Alipay+, we’re enhancing customer experience by bringing a simple QR payments service within our mobile app – combining broad merchant acceptance with the simplicity of paying and tracking spending in just one place.”
