Travellers heading to Southeast Asia can now book Grab rides without leaving their home e-wallet, as Alipay+ brings the superapp’s ride-hailing service into its Voyager platform.
The integration allows users of Alipay+ Voyager, its inbuilt AI travel agent, to arrange local transportation directly within their existing digital wallets, removing the need to download separate apps.
It builds on the partnership Alipay+ and Grab formed in 2023, which enabled consumers to use their home e-wallets to make payments on the Grab app.
Launched in mid-2025, Alipay+ Voyager is currently available on Alipay (Chinese mainland), AlipayHK (Hong Kong SAR, China) and GCash (Philippines) and will roll out to more partners throughout the year.
Travellers visiting all eight Southeast Asian destinations where Grab operates including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar can book rides directly through the Voyager platform.
Alipay+ connects 36 leading payment partner apps with more than 1.7 billion user accounts to over 100 million in-store merchants in 70 markets.
Complementing its cross-border payment capabilities, Alipay+ is developing digital services for its partners, including rewards, in-app tax refunds and Alipay+ Voyager.
“With Southeast Asia growing in popularity as a travel destination, making Grab’s services directly available within Alipay+ partner apps offers users the most comprehensive and trusted local transportation across the region.
Alipay+ Voyager will continue to expand our ecosystem, particularly across essential travel services, to connect more partners with mobile-savvy travellers, while we collaborate to create new ways of engagement across the entire travel journey.”
said Scarlett Xing, General Manager of Alipay+ Travel Solutions, Ant International.
“We’re thrilled to strengthen our partnership with Alipay+ Voyager to deliver safe and reliable ride-hailing services for more travellers visiting Southeast Asia.
This collaboration underscores our shared commitment to enhancing the travel experience and providing greater convenience for millions of users,”
said Samir Kumar, Head of Mobility at Grab.
