OKX Pay Now Live in Singapore: Scan to Pay with Stablecoins at GrabPay Merchants-Partners
The next generation of stablecoin payments begins now with the launch of OKX Pay in Singapore. OKX Pay is Singapore's first* stablecoin-powered scan-to-pay service, enabling customers to pay with USDT or USDC stablecoins at GrabPay merchant-partners by scanning their GrabPay SGQR** code.
This opens up stablecoin payments to an extensive network of shops, cafés, restaurants, and hawker stalls that are part of GrabPay's merchant-partner ecosystem - no complicated steps. Just easy, instant payments.
OKX Pay is built right into OKX SG, Singapore's New Money App. Now, instead of only using stablecoins for trading and investing, you can use them to pay for practically anything. Simply open the OKX SG app, scan the GrabPay merchant-partner's SGQR code, enter the amount and payment is processed instantly - with merchants receiving SGD while payment comes from customers' stablecoin balance.
This seamless experience is powered by our collaboration with StraitsX and Grab, two trusted companies that have local roots and global reach.

Why it matters, and why now?
Using stablecoins for real-world payments has felt out of reach due to complex processes, unreliable solutions, and limited merchant adoption - until now. With today’s launch of OKX Pay in Singapore, stablecoins improve everyday life, making it simple to spend and send funds with ease.
There’s no better city for this than Singapore: a global leader in digital innovation and cashless payments. By combining the flexibility of stablecoins with a seamless experience, OKX Pay puts customers in control of their stablecoins for daily transactions with instant payment features.
That’s what we mean by a New Money App: bringing together stablecoins and the convenience, security and real-world utility of everyday payments.
