Alipay+, Ant International’s global wallet gateway, and Kaspi.kz, a super app in Kazakhstan, have collaborated to roll out international cross-border QR payment acceptance in Kazakhstan.  

The move enables 12+ Alipay+-supported payment application users to conduct transactions using Kaspi QR. 

The partnership, which initially focused on facilitating mobile payments for users travelling abroad since April 2024, has now expanded to include domestic QR code payments.  

Alipay+ connects a network of 1.7 billion user accounts from 36 international payment partners, providing access to over 100 million merchants in 70 markets worldwide.  

Edward Yue, general manager for SEA, South Asia and ANZ at Ant International, said:  

“We’re very excited to be strengthening our partnership with Kaspi.kz for both inbound and outbound cross-border mobile payments that benefits Kazakhstani travellers and businesses.  

“We have seen great momentum in Kazakhstanis using their Kaspi.kz app across our global Alipay+ merchants, and now we’re building on the rich local ecosystem offered via Kaspi QR to connect our global partners to local businesses.” 

Kaspi.kz operates a dual Super App model, offering the Kaspi.kz Super App for consumers and the Kaspi Pay Super App for merchants.  

These platforms enable users to engage with various services, including payments, a marketplace, and fintech solutions. 

Kaspi.kz CEO and co-founder Mikhail Lomtadze stated: “Since last year, in partnership with Alipay+, Kazakhstanis began to pay in some of their favourite travel destinations using the Kaspi.kz super app.  

“Now, we’re taking our partnership one step further. Guests visiting Kazakhstan can now pay via Kaspi QR using their Alipay+ enabled e-wallets or bank apps.” 

Kaspi.kz acquired a 65.41% stake in Hepsiburada, one of Türkiye’s top e-commerce companies, in January 2025. 

The company has been publicly traded on Nasdaq since January 2024.
