Naver Pay expands on-site payment to SE Asia countries

Naver Pay, the simple payment service of South Korea's Naver Financial, said on Thursday it has expanded its overseas on-site payment services.

It initiated the overseas on-site payment service in China and Japan in Sept. Now added Taiwan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines, totaling ten countries and regions.

Users can make on-site QR payments via Naver Pay at UnionPay merchants in these countries and regions. Furthermore, the point benefits for on-site payments, previously available only domestically, are also provided for overseas payments.

When using Naver Pay for on-site QR payments at UnionPay merchants in overseas Asian regions and AliPay Plus (China), one will receive a basic one-time point benefit.
