Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) will now offer cross-border global payments for its customers through Alipay+ on its digital app, making it the first bank in Singapore that enables this payment method. Alipay+ is a suite of global cross-border payments operated by Ant Group, an affiliate of Alibaba.

According to a release dated Sept 19, OCBC Singapore customers can now scan and pay at Alipay+ merchants in Malaysia and South Korea. This payment solution will be available in Mainland China from Sept 22.

In all of these three markets, merchants include key tourist sectors like retail, food and beverage, attractions, and transportation.
