MPay can be used in Guangzhou public transport

MPay, Macao's most frequently used local electronic wallet, has become the second overseas e-wallet approved for use on public transportation in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, following Hong Kong's AlipayHK.

Since early April, Macao residents have been able to use MPay to access all public transportation routes in Guangzhou. The expansion allows residents from both of China's special administrative regions to travel more conveniently within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

The service, a collaboration between Guangzhou Metro Group, MPay and Alipay+, is part of Ant Group's fintech offerings. Through Alipay+'s cross-border services, Macao residents can use MPay to scan and pay for rides across all public transportation in Guangzhou, including metro lines, buses and ferries. The service also extends to metro lines in Foshan, a city neighboring Guangzhou.
