The partnership enables millions of NayaPay users to scan-and-pay at Alipay+ merchants initially across more than 50 countries, connecting Pakistani consumers to an extensive global ecosystem spanning retail, dining, transport, healthcare, entertainment and more.

With this innovative feature, paying abroad just got faster and more affordable. With NayaPay, Pakistanis can now scan and pay securely worldwide with lower costs, less friction, and a seamless checkout experience wherever they go. Alipay+ connects 40 international mobile payment partners to more than 150 million merchants globally.

The launch reinforces NayaPay’s commitment to delivering world-class payment experiences to Pakistani consumers and businesses, adding global QR acceptance to its growing suite of services including Visa debit cards, local and international money transfers, bill payments, home remittances and more.

Danish A. Lakhani, CEO NayaPay said: “When we started NayaPay, our ambition was to give Pakistanis the same freedom and confidence with money that people enjoy in the world’s most advanced markets. This step brings us closer, not only by making payments abroad seamless but by making them universally accessible and easy on the pocket. Whether our users are studying, working or exploring the world, they deserve a global payment experience that keeps up with them.”

Pan Yan, Head of Strategic Partnership Office for Alipay+, Ant International, said: “Our goal at Alipay+ is to connect anyone, anywhere in a seamless, digitally-enabled manner. The growth of mobile platforms like NayaPay is transforming how millions of people travel and interact with local merchants. Through this next step of our collaboration, we’re jointly making it easier for Pakistanis to explore the world, and do so with the same trusted and familiar experience, just like home.”

Today’s announcement marks the next phase of the growing partnership between Alipay+ and NayaPay, which began in early 2024 when NayaPay became Pakistan’s first fintech to enable direct QR payments at over 80 million merchants in China. The expanded integration now brings that seamless experience to markets worldwide, offering Pakistanis greater convenience, acceptance and cost-efficiency when traveling or shopping internationally.
