“QR Ph has played an important role in advancing a more connected and interoperable digital payments ecosystem in the Philippines, making digital payments more accessible and convenient for businesses and consumers. Through our partnership with Alipay+, we are extending that connectivity beyond our borders, enabling Filipino merchants — particularly SMEs — to serve international customers more seamlessly. This is an important step in bringing the benefits of digitalisation into everyday commerce, while creating new opportunities for Filipino businesses to participate and grow in the global digital economy,” said Carmelita “Melit” Araneta, General Manager of Philippine Payments Management Inc. By connecting Alipay+ to QR Ph, that digital transformation can extend beyond the Philippines’ borders, bringing international payment connectivity to the same digital payment ecosystem already used by Filipino consumers and businesses.
