On September 24^th, Eric Jing, the Chairman of Ant Group, introduced “Alipay+” at the Inclusion Fintech Conference in Shanghai, announcing that Ant had launched the solution this year. Alipay+ connects global merchants and e-wallet users. More specifically, Alipay+ works with various e-wallet providers, such as Alipay and South Korea’s Kakaopay, to help merchants receive payments from customers worldwide. South Korean users, for example, can use Kakaopay to pay an overseas merchant in Korean won who will receive the payment in their own currency in real time.
