Good news for CIMB Octo App users. Recently, CIMB announced that you can make QR payments with participating Alipay+ merchants in five new countries.

The new locations added are China, Hong Kong, South Korea, the Philippines and Laos. This is an expansion to Octo’s existing cross-border QR payment coverage in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand.

Conveniently, the new feature allows you to make payments without downloading another payment app or creating a separate Alipay+ account.

This feature is enabled through the Payments Network Malaysia Sdn Bhd (“PayNet”)’s DuitNow QR payment connectivity with Alipay+.
