Visa has launched its ‘Scan to Pay’ solution, enabling millions of merchants across Asia Pacific to accept QR payments through popular digital wallets and payment apps. This initiative, announced at the Singapore Fintech Festival, aims to enhance consumer choice and flexibility in both local and international transactions.
The ‘Scan to Pay’ solution is part of Visa’s broader ‘Visa Pay’ service, which connects digital wallets to Visa-accepting merchants globally. This service allows consumers to tap, scan, or pay online using their preferred payment methods. Key partnerships include Samsung Wallet, LINE Pay, and VNPT Money, among others. TR Ramachandran, Head of Products and Solutions for Asia Pacific at Visa, stated, “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.”
For consumers, the solution offers a seamless payment experience, security, and flexibility. Merchants benefit from expanded acceptance, reduced processing costs, and the potential for business growth by leveraging existing QR infrastructure. Visa’s global network ensures secure and reliable transactions, providing confidence to consumers wherever they shop.
The rollout of ‘Scan to Pay’ underscores Visa’s commitment to digital payment leadership and its tailored approach to market needs. This initiative empowers partners to expand merchant reach and enhance consumer engagement, aligning with Visa’s mission to connect the world through innovative and secure payment networks. The Visa Pay experience will be showcased at the Singapore Fintech Festival from 12–14 November 2025.
