Merchants in Singapore can directly accept payments from Chinese travellers.

The platform has formed strategic partnerships with DBS Bank, GrabPay, ShopeePay, Starryblue, Bank of China, and EVONET GLOBAL in Singapore alone, it announced during the Singapore Fintech Festival 2025 (SFF).

It also rolled out the TenPay Global Checkout, a payment solution for its merchants under the Weixin Mini Program. It enables the merchants to accept a wide range of local payment methods including digital wallets, real-time payment networks, and credit and debit cards.

Singaporean merchants can also now accept payments from Chinese travellers directly, enjoying broader reach and simplified payment operations.

This solution is now operational in Singapore, in locations such as Resorts World Sentosa’s Adventure Cove and the Singapore Institute of Technology’s campuses in partnership with CATES.

“Tencent’s Palm Solutions show how biometric innovation can make payments faster, safer, and more intuitive,” said Etienne Ng, Country Manager, Singapore & Regional Director, Southeast Asia, Weixin Pay, Tencent, at an SFF presentation.

“We’re excited to bring Tencent’s next-generation technologies to Singapore to enhance everyday transactions for both users and merchants alike,” Ng said.
