Alipay+ is rolling out cross-border mobile payment services in Latin America through a partnership with regional fintech company PVS.
The integration allows users of Alipay+ partner applications, which include 50 e-wallets, banking apps, and over 10 national QR schemes, to make QR payments at participating PVS merchants.
The service will initially cover Chile and Argentina before expanding to other markets.
Through a single integration, merchants can accept payments in their local currency while gaining access to cross-border digital marketing tools.
For tourists, the service reduces the need for manual currency exchange.
“At PVS, we are proud to partner with Alipay+ to offer Asian and European travellers visiting Latin America a payment experience that is familiar, secure and transparent,”
said Lucio Colunga, CEO of PVS.
“This landmark partnership builds on Ant International’s technology capabilities, risk solutions and marketing tools with PVS’s deep local expertise, fast-growing networks and regulatory know-how,”
said Weixiao Jiang, General Manager for North Asia and the Americas, Alipay+, Ant International.
Ant International, which operates Alipay+, processes an average of over 20 million transactions daily. The collaboration adds to Ant International’s broader expansion efforts in the region.
Alipay+ currently supports NFC cross-border transactions through a partnership with Mastercard. This allows users of apps like AlipayHK, GCash, and Kakao Pay to tap and pay in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico.
The company is also working with Mexico-based embedded lending firm R2 to expand financing options for SMEs in Latin America.
In May 2025, Ant International became the official Asia-region sponsor of the Argentina National Football Team.
