On November 12, 2026, Singapore’s DBS Bank announced partnerships with Ant International and Tencent’s cross-border payments platform TenPay Global. DBS said its PayLah! wallet, which has more than 3 million users, can now be used at more than 100 million merchants in China that accept Alipay or WeChat Pay.
Users do not need to download another app. They can scan a merchant’s Alipay or WeChat Pay QR code with PayLah!, or show their own payment code to the merchant. DBS said that, together with its existing UnionPay QR support, this makes it the first and only Singapore bank to support all three QR payment networks in China.
PayLah! can also be used at more than 70 million Alipay+ partner merchants and UnionPay QR merchants across markets including Hong Kong, Australia, South Korea, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, according to DBS.
