UnionPay QR payment service now available at hawker centres in Singapore

SINGAPORE (June 7): UnionPay International (UPI) bank members will soon be able to make Quick Response (QR) code payments at selected hawker centres, a solution developed by homegrown payments technology Liquid Group.

In a press release issued on Thursday, Liquid Group says it has partnered with UPI to enable consumers using UPI banks’ mobile QR payment apps to pay at the group’s network of merchants.

The partnership will see both parties pilot the service at hawker centres currently already on the Liquid Pay app, while the full rollout to the group’s other merchants is expected to complete by 3Q18.
