Ant Group has expanded its coverage in Malaysia, enabling all 7-Eleven stores in the country to accept Alipay+ and other mobile wallets in its ecosystem.
The integration, which was facilitated by Razer Merchant Services, allows the 2,400 7-Eleven stores in Malaysia to accept AlipayHK, GCash, Kakao Pay, and TrueMoney as payment options.
This development brings the total number of merchant touchpoints accepting Alipay+ in Malaysia to over 80,000.
“With growing coverage of Alipay+ in Malaysia, we’re connecting more Asian travelers to local merchants, helping to position Malaysia as a travel destination of choice and unlocking new opportunities for local businesses,” said Cherry Huang, general manager of Alipay+ Offline Merchant Services at Ant Group.
Alipay+ was introduced by Ant Group in 2020 to help businesses expand their supported payment methods to reach more consumers. Apart from Malaysia, Alipay+’s mobile wallets are also accepted as payment options in markets such as mainland China, Macao, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, and South Korea.
