Worldwide Scan & Pay — Launching Soon for all iFAST Global Bank clients
by
iFAST Global Bank
Worldwide Scan & Pay will be launching soon, a new way to make everyday payments abroad using QR codes.
Across many parts of the world, QR payments have become one of the most common ways to pay. From street vendors in Mexico and Peru to cafés in Australia and retail stores in Hong Kong, customers are increasingly paying simply by scanning a code.
Worldwide Scan & Pay connects you to one of the world’s largest QR payment networks, allowing you to pay easily by scanning a QR code through the iFAST app. By linking to millions of merchants through local wallets and payment platforms, it helps make paying overseas feel as simple and convenient as paying at home.
You can now join the Early Access Programme before public launch, an exclusive referral programme that offers early access to those who invite friends and move up the waitlist.
What is Scan & Pay?
It allows you to pay instantly by scanning a merchant’s QR code, confirming the payment, and completing the transaction in seconds.
Through its global QR payment network, Scan & Pay connects to local QR payment systems used by millions of merchants worldwide. This enables you to make payments at participating cafés, shops, restaurants, and everyday retailers across more than 100 countries and regions.
Where QR payments are accepted by participating merchants, Scan & Pay offers a fast and convenient way to pay directly from your iFAST account. This service is only available where QR payments are accepted by participating merchants who have specifically enabled this feature, and may not be available at all locations.
No debit card required
Scan & Pay will be available to all iFAST Global Bank clients.
Even if you don’t have the iFAST Multi-Currency Debit Card — currently issued to UK residents only — you can still use Scan & Pay directly through the iFAST app.
Linked to your Multi-Currency Current Account, it enables fast, secure QR code payments with no physical card required.
🎟️ Join the Early Access Programme
Ahead of the official launch, customers can register for our Early Access Programme to try Scan & Pay before it becomes available to all clients.
Access will be granted on a waitlist basis, and customers who successfully refer friends may move higher up the queue.
There is no cost to join the Early Access Programme.
Here’s how to qualify:
- Share your referral link - Share your personal referral link in the app to start qualifying.
