Maybank unlocks MAE Scan & Pay in mainland China, South Korea, the Philippines and Laos

Maybank has expanded its overseas digital retail footprint by integrating its flagship MAE app with Alipay+, enabling cross-border QR payments across eight key overseas destinations.

Backed by PayNet’s cross-border network, the addition extends the bank’s international “Scan & Pay” corridor beyond its established ASEAN base in Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia to mainland China, South Korea, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Laos.

You can make payments directly through the MAE app’s existing “Scan & Pay” function without downloading a separate app or registering for an Alipay+ account.

First, you need to launch the MAE app, select the QR function to scan the AliPay QR or merchant’s code and key in the purchase amount in the foreign currency.
