Chinese tourism sparks Alipay boom in Brunei

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN - Since its launch in Brunei at the end of May this year, the number of businesses accepting Alipay payment from Chinese visitors is on the rise.

Alipay is the world's largest mobile payment platform and primarily used by Chinese people as their paperless payment culture in China and abroad.

Through a partnership with Alipay, BEEP Digital Solutions Sdn Bhd, a local Bruneian fintech startup, can offer local Brunei-based merchants the ability to undertake transactions with Chinese customers using their Alipay Mobile Wallet.
