Alipay+ accessible in 11,000 SG Hawker Centre stalls

Users of the platform and partner e-wallets can pay through the SGQR.

In collaboration with Singapore's top payment services group, Network for Electronic Transfers (NETS), Alipay+ has now been incorporated into SGQR.

Users of Alipay+ partner e-wallets can pay via SGQR at around 11,000 stalls at NEA hawker centres, HDB coffee shops, wet markets, and JTC industrial canteens in Singapore. They can do so by opening their e-wallet apps and scanning the SGQR code displayed at the stalls.

“With Alipay+’s integration into SGQR, it makes it more convenient for foreigners traveling to Singapore, by enabling them to pay with their home e-wallets which they are familiar with. Tourists no longer have to worry about trying to find the right amount of cash to pay in a bustling environment like hawker centres.” said Cherry Huang, General Manager of Alipay+ Offline Merchant Services, Ant Group.

The SGQR is the first globally standardised QR code for e-payments that combines multiple payment schemes into a single label. Merchants can display the SGQR code to indicate the available payment options, allowing consumers to make informed choices.

Alipay+ is compatible with six partner e-wallets in Singapore: Alipay (China), AlipayHK (Hong Kong SAR, China), Touch 'n Go eWallet (Malaysia), GCash (Philippines), TrueMoney (Thailand), and Kakao Pay (South Korea). 

Since 2019, one of Alipay+'s partner e-wallets, Alipay, has already been integrated into SGQR.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.
