Alipay+ Launches in Sri Lanka, Boosting 400,000 Merchants
LankaPay and Ant International have launched Alipay+ in Sri Lanka, enabling over 400,000 merchants to accept cross-border payments via the LANKAQR system. This initiative allows travelers from 10 countries to use 14 international e-wallets, including Alipay and GCash, by simply scanning QR codes. The launch, held on March 25, 2025, is expected to enhance payment convenience for tourists and stimulate growth in Sri Lanka's tourism and retail sectors. The Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority anticipates significant economic benefits, targeting 3 million tourist arrivals and $5 billion in revenue by 2025. This partnership represents the largest acceptance of cross-border payments in the country, aiming to attract more foreign visitors while providing local merchants with increased business opportunities. Ant International and LankaPay plan to expand Alipay+ acceptance and promote its use to boost adoption further.
