Users of 12 popular international e-wallets from 8 countries and regions can now enjoy seamless mobile payments in Mongolia, thanks to a partnership between Khan Bank, Mongolia’s leading full-service bank, and Alipay+, a cross-border mobile payment and digitalization solution by Ant International.

Ms. Erdenedelger Bavlai, First Deputy CEO of Khan Bank, and Mr. Frank Piao, Country Manager of Alipay+ Mongolia, officiated the partnership ceremony at Khan Bank HQ, Mongolia. With Alipay+, users of various Asian and European e-wallets can experience secure payments in Mongolia at participating merchants displaying the Alipay+ logo, including hotel chains, restaurants, department stores, and cashmere outlets. Merchants can accept payments through the same QR code interfaces in physical stores or via the user’s app.

Additionally, Alipay+ marketing solutions enable local merchants to create promotions, distribute digital coupons, and offer discounts directly to e-wallet users, enhancing marketing efficiency and reach.

The e-wallets now accepted in Mongolia include Alipay (Chinese mainland), AlipayHK (Hong Kong SAR, China), Tinaba (Italy), MyPB by Public Bank Berhad and Touch ‘n Go Digital (Malaysia), GCash (The Philippines), Changi Pay and OCBC Digital (Singapore), Kakao Pay, Naver Pay, Toss Pay (South Korea), and TrueMoney (Thailand).

To celebrate this partnership, promotional activities will run through October 2024, offering users of AlipayHK, MyPB by Public Bank Berhad, GCash, OCBC Digital, Kakao Pay, Naver Pay, Toss Pay, and TrueMoney a 10% instant discount on Khan Bank’s POS terminals. More mobile payment services are expected to join soon.

Ms. Erdenedelger Bavlai expressed delight in expanding the partnership with Ant Group to accept digital payments from users in eight countries and regions via Alipay+ on Khan Bank terminals, enhancing tourism and providing seamless payment options for visitors.

Mr. Danny Chung, General Manager of Alipay+ Korea, Europe, Middle East, and Mongolia, highlighted Mongolia as a popular destination for international travelers. This partnership marks a significant milestone for Alipay+, connecting local businesses with international visitors and offering better travel experiences and greater business opportunities for local merchants.
