Asia United Bank (AUB) said it expects further boost for its HelloMoney e-wallet acceptance in Japan with the expanded merchant coverage of Alipay+.
Alipay+ recently expanded its partnership with PayPay, Japan’s top quick response (QR) payment operator. By working with local partners including PayPay, Alipay+ will now connect over three million local merchants in Japan to its global payment partners such as AUB’s HelloMoney.
HelloMoney users can enjoy seamless and secure payment and travel experiences at even more merchants in Japan this year-end travel season and beyond.
AUB is the only Philippine bank that has a partnership with Alipay+, the cross-border mobile payment and digitalization solutions operated by Ant International.
The partnership with Alipay+ enabled AUB to become the first Philippine bank with an e-wallet that can be used for cross-border mobile payments and reach wider acceptance in Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, and Hong Kong SAR, in addition to Japan.
