Visa is expanding its Click to Pay service across Asia Pacific through partnerships with payment enablers 2C2P, Adyen, AsiaPay and Worldpay.

The service lets online shoppers complete transactions without entering card details manually, using tokenised information linked to an email address or mobile number.

It is designed to work across browsers and devices and supports biometric authentication through payment passkeys.

Personal information is stored by Visa to address consumer concerns about saving data on third-party sites.

The regional rollout follows earlier launches, including with ZA Bank in Hong Kong, the first issuer in Asia Pacific to enable Click to Pay as a standard feature.

In Vietnam, the service is available to Techcombank and VPBank Visa cardholders shopping with participating merchants.

T.R. Ramachandran, Head of Products and Solutions, Asia Pacific, Visa, said,

“Visa is accelerating the rollout of Click to Pay to simplify the eCommerce checkout experience across Asia Pacific.

Through strategic collaborations with 2C2P, Adyen, AsiaPay, and Worldpay, we are helping merchants increase sales, banks to deepen customer engagement, and consumers enjoy quicker, secure checkouts.”

Warren Hayashi, President, Asia Pacific, Adyen said,

“Visa’s Click to Pay aligns directly with our mission to simplify payments and empower global commerce. It reduces the need for manual card entry while managing risk, enabling us to offer our merchants a seamless, secure checkout experience that reduces cart abandonment and improves authorization rates.

This will empower them to better meet the growing consumer demand for fast, secure, and frictionless payments — especially in mobile-first markets across Asia.”
