How foreigners in Singapore can scan RoamQR for Easy Cross-Border Payments

What Is RoamQR? 

RoamQR is an interoperable QR payment framework that connects national payment systems, e-wallets, and banks across countries. This innovative cross-border payment solution, powered by Liquid Group, connects multiple national QR networks into one seamless experience.  

How Does RoamQR Work? 

If you’re a tourist in Singapore and want to make purchases without worrying about cash or card conversions, there’s good news. With RoamQR, you can pay using your home country’s preferred wallet or banking app — just by scanning the local QR code at RoamQR-enabled merchants. 

The payment process is simple and instant: 

1. Spot the PayNow RoamQR decal at participating Singapore stores.

2. Open your home wallet app. 

3. Scan the merchant’s QR code — your app will automatically recognize the code via the RoamQR network. 

4. View the converted amount in your local currency. 

Behind the scenes, RoamQR connects acquirers, issuers, and settlement banks to ensure smooth currency conversion and compliance across all networks.
