Alipay Partners With Chase To Expand Mobile Wallet Footprint

Users of the Alipay app will be able to pay using their Alipay Mobile Wallet at the POS of many Chase Merchant Services clients. As many as 4 million Chinese consumers are expected to visit North America in 2017 alone.

With the proposed Alipay-Chase relationship, Chinese travelers will be able to locate nearby merchants via the app’s geolocation-based “Discover” function and receive promotion information via push notifications. Local merchants will be able to better target and connect with these consumers.
