TerraPay Partners with Alipay+ to Enhance Cross-Border Payments

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 9, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- TerraPay, a global money movement company, has announced a strategic partnership with Alipay+, Ant International's unified wallet gateway. This collaboration aims to enable seamless cross-border QR payments for digital wallets, significantly enhancing global payments interoperability for users across Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa.

The partnership will initially connect 15 digital wallets from Africa, which are part of TerraPay's wallet interoperability network, Xend, to more than 150 million merchants across Alipay+'s global merchant ecosystem. This move will expand TerraPay's cross-border payment capabilities from account-to-account to in-store acceptance, providing a more seamless payment experience for users.

According to Ambar Sur, Founder and CEO of TerraPay, "The home wallet on your phone, that is from Kenya or Colombia or any country, should work the same way in Singapore or China or anywhere in the world, as easily as it does at home. That's the promise of Xend. This partnership with Alipay+ is a major step toward making cross-border wallet payments as natural as paying locally."

The partnership supports the growing mobile economy by enabling wallet users to pay directly at Alipay+'s global merchant ecosystem using the same wallet they already trust. This collaboration addresses the friction faced by users when transacting across borders, where their digital wallet works seamlessly locally but may feel unfamiliar and costly abroad.

Edward Yue, General Manager of Alipay+ Global Power Center, Ant International, stated, "By bringing TerraPay's network of wallets to Alipay+, we're helping more people and businesses connect across borders, creating new pathways for growth, and unlocking new opportunities. This reflects our joint commitment towards a more connected and inclusive global commerce ecosystem."

Xend, TerraPay's wallet interoperability network, connects to a global ecosystem via Alipay+, through a single integration. This enables wallet providers to offer their customers the ability to spend internationally without switching apps or carrying cards. Alipay+ connects over 50 international payment partners to more than 150 million merchants across 220 destination markets, including through over 10 national payment systems.

TerraPay, headquartered in London, has offices in Dubai, Miami, Milan, Singapore, Bogota, Johannesburg, Kampala, and Bangalore. The company's mission is to create a borderless financial world, and Xend is the first-of-its-kind wallet interoperability network, enabling secure, real-time cross-border payments to and from 3.7 billion wallets through a single, unified connection.

Through this partnership, users of participating digital wallets can now enjoy a more seamless and convenient payment experience when traveling or conducting business in countries where Alipay+ is accepted. The expanded payment capabilities will benefit both consumers and merchants, fostering greater cross-border connectivity and facilitating global commerce.
