Singapore, November 26, 2025 – Global travel and commerce just got significantly easier for millions of Pakistanis.

NayaPay, one of Pakistan’s fastest-growing fintech platforms, has launched global QR payments in a strategic collaboration with Alipay+, Ant International’s extensive global wallet gateway.

This new feature is a monumental step, connecting NayaPay users to an expansive global ecosystem spanning retail, dining, transport, healthcare, and entertainment across more than 50 countries. Forget fumbling with foreign currency; now, paying abroad is as simple as scanning a QR code.

This innovative feature fundamentally changes the game for Pakistani consumers traveling or shopping internationally. NayaPay users can now scan and pay securely worldwide, enjoying lower costs, less friction, and a truly seamless checkout experience wherever they go.

Alipay+ is a global wallet gateway that boasts connections to 40 international mobile payment partners and over 150 million merchants globally, providing unparalleled acceptance. Could this finally mean true financial freedom for Pakistani travelers?

Danish A. Lakhani, CEO of NayaPay, underscored the ambition behind this launch: “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.” He believes this step brings them closer to that goal, making payments abroad universally accessible and “easy on the pocket.”

NayaPay, a fintech platform authorized by the State Bank of Pakistan, empowers consumers and SMBs with financial services, offering easy-to-open e-money accounts, Visa debit cards, local and international money transfers, and bill payments. It was recognized on the Forbes Asia 100 to Watch list and CB Insights Fintech 100 in 2024.

Pan Yan, Head of Strategic Partnership Office for Alipay+, echoed the sentiment of global connectivity, stating, “Our goal at Alipay+ is to connect anyone, anywhere in a seamless, digitally-enabled manner.” He highlighted how mobile platforms like NayaPay are transforming travel and merchant interactions.

This partnership builds on an existing collaboration, which began in early 2024 when NayaPay became Pakistan’s first fintech to enable direct QR payments at over 80 million merchants in China.

This expanded integration now extends that seamless experience to markets across the globe, enhancing convenience, acceptance, and cost-efficiency for Pakistanis internationally.

This 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. The question isn’t just about how much easier travel will become for Pakistanis; it’s about the broader statement this makes for emerging markets and digital inclusion on a global scale. Pakistan’s fintech landscape just took a giant leap forward.
