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 hefty card fees and fx conversions, there’s good news. With RoamQR, you can pay using your local 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. 

5. Confirm payment.

RoamQR in Singapore is currently only available for selected Cambodian, Chinese and South Korean mobile payment apps.
