Overview

Let’s be real - cash and cards aren’t enough anymore.

If you’re running a business in Asia, you’ve probably seen it: more customers paying by scanning a QR code, whether they’re locals or tourists. And it’s not slowing down!

In Malaysia alone, Cross-Border QR transactions jumped 4x in 2024.

This is more than just a trend. It’s how your next customers from Singapore, Thailand, China, and beyond will expect to pay. If you’re not ready, you risk losing them to competitors who are.

What’s in it for your business?

2. No More Currency Conversion Hassles

3. Ready for Regional Growth
