According to the agreement, CCPay, founded on March 2017 as one of the earliest companies to create QR payment in Singapore, will help Alipay expand the use of the cashless payment platforms in Singapore so as to give convenience to Chinese tourists here.
The cashless payments will be firstly introduced in merchants around the Chinatown area, said Jed Huang, Founder and Director of CC Financial Services, the owner of CCpay, at a press conference here on Tuesday, adding that there are plans for further expanding the services to other shopping malls in Singapore later.
