Visa, a global leader in digital payments, has gone live with its Visa Scan to Pay solution for QR payments, significantly expanding acceptance across Asia Pacific.
 

With millions of merchants now able to accept Visa payments through widely used wallets and payment apps, consumers benefit from greater choice and flexibility - whether shopping locally or traveling abroad.

"As commerce across Asia Pacific becomes increasingly mobile-first, Visa is leading the way with innovations like Scan to Pay that accelerate QR payment adoption,” T.R. Ramachandran, Head of Products and Solutions, Asia Pacific, Visa, said.

“By enabling millions of merchants to accept secure, seamless payments by tapping or scanning, we're not only expanding digital acceptance but also empowering consumers with more flexible ways to pay - anytime, anywhere,” he added.

Making everyday spending simpler and smarter, Visa Scan to Pay is powered by partnerships with leading bank apps and digital wallets including Samsung Wallet (Asia Pacific) LINE Pay (Taiwan), VNPT Money (Vietnam), Woori Card and Hyundai Card (Korea) and QR payment providers across Asia Pacific, including Lakala (Mainland China), FOMO Pay (Singapore), VNPAY (Vietnam), NextPay (Vietnam) and OpenRice (Hong Kong).  

This expansion is part of the broader launch of Visa Pay, a service that connects participating digital wallets to Visa-accepting merchants globally - across in-store and online channels. With Visa Pay, consumers can tap, scan, or pay online using their preferred wallets and payment apps.
 

The rollout of Visa Scan to Pay reinforces Visa's leadership in digital payments and its tailored approach to market needs. These empower partners to grow merchant reach and enhance consumer engagement; while enabling consumers to pay the way they are used to at home, globally.
