You can now scan & pay in S’pore dollars in over 28 countries with ShopeePay

I’m an old-school traveller.

I get to the airport early, print out my ticket, and keep some spare cash tucked away.

But have you ever tried getting smaller denominations from money changers? You’ll know it’s easier said than done.

There’s an easier way, whether you're a cautious traveller or a free-spirited “cash is for millennials" type traveller: ShopeePay.

Cross-border payments with ShopeePay available in over 28 territories

You can now scan and pay using ShopeePay in over 28 countries, without needing to carry physical cash or exchange currencies.

This includes some of your favourite travel spots such as Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea, Japan, China, Hong Kong, and the UK.

Payment is easy too: all you have to do is scan local QR codes, such as DuitNow in Malaysia, ZeroPay in South Korea, and Alipay in China, using your Shopee app to pay instantly and securely.

And if you've ever tried breaking a large note at a small roadside stall while travelling, you'll know why that's useful.

Imagine you've just found a street food stall selling something that smells incredible, but the only cash you have is a large note. The vendor looks less than thrilled.

With ShopeePay, all you need to do is scan the merchant's payment code — a common sight nowadays whether you're in a shopping mall or at a roadside stall.

No fumbling for exact change, no carrying worrying amounts of cash, especially as ShopeePay uses biometric authentication for swift and secure transactions.

Users can also stay in control of their spending with competitive exchange rates and no hidden fees, with payments made in Singapore dollars.

Just ensure that your ShopeePay account is activated and verified in Singapore before you set off, and enable overseas payments!

ShopeePay is also offering a limited time offer where users can enjoy S$8 off their first overseas transaction with ShopeePay with a minimum S$20 spend.

So if you’re heading on an overseas shopping holiday, make it a ShopeePay holiday, and get your S$8 off.

Not heading overseas? There’s a promo for you too!

If you’re shopping in Singapore, you can use ShopeePay to make offline purchases at over 50,000 merchants across the island!

Doing so will earn you Shopee Coins which you can use to offset spending for both online Shopee purchases and offline ShopeePay payments.

If you have a registered ShopeePay Plus account, look out for the NETS QR or ShopeePay logo on the merchant’s SGQR code, then scan and pay using ShopeePay to be automatically awarded coins cashback!
