Kaspi.kz, a joint stock company that operates the Kaspi.kz Super App for consumers and the Kaspi Pay Super App for merchants, has announced a new partnership with Alipay + to enable Kaspi.kz customers to pay using the Kaspi.kz Super App and QR code throughout China.

When travelling in China, Kazakhstanis can hassle-free take cash or a card with them using the Kaspi.kz Super App and purchases in Chinese stores, cafes, taxis and more than 80 million points throughout China can be paid for by QR code.

Mikhail Lomtadze, CEO and Co-founder of Kaspi.kz said, “Many Kazakhstanis work, study and vacation in China. We constantly receive feedback from our customers – how nice it would be to pay for purchases abroad as easily as in Kazakhstan. We are happy to announce that, in partnership with AliPay+, we have launched a new service. Now, with the Kaspi.kz Super App, our customers can pay for almost any good at retail outlets throughout China. We thank AliPay+ for their partnership and each of our customers for being with us.”

Venetia Lee, Greater China General Manager of Ant International, said, “Alipay+ is thrilled to announce our partnership with the first and leading e-wallet Super App in Kazakhstan. Together, we will enable a seamless mobile payment experience on the Chinese mainland for the many Kaspi.kz mobile-savvy users.”

Lee added, “While this partnership will enhance the travel and shopping experience for Kaspi.kz users, we will continue to build on our innovative technology and service excellence to bring people and communities closer through travel, trade and commerce.”

To pay for purchases, Kaspi.kz customers just need to open the Kaspi.kz app, select the AliPay+ service and let the seller scan their QR code. Alternatively, buyers can scan the seller’s QR code.
