Travellers can now use DBS PayLah! at over 100 million merchants in China

DBS Bank has expanded its PayLah! service to enable QR code payments at over 100 million merchants across China, partnering with Alipay and Weixin Pay. This cross-border feature utilizes two-way QR functionality, allowing users to scan merchant QR codes or present their own PayLah! QR codes for checkout. Transactions are fee-free and benefit from competitive foreign exchange rates, with the PayLah! app displaying the accurate purchase amount in Chinese Yuan, exchange rate, and the corresponding Singapore Dollar equivalent before confirmation. To use this new service, users must update their DBS PayLah! app to the latest version.
