Daily life in asia

QR payments are standard.

From street food to supermarkets and taxis, QR payments are the most common way to pay across many parts of Asia.

But for Europeans, access is often limited.

Many local payment apps require a local bank account, local ID or an Asian address – making it difficult for expats to use them.

Bluecode removes these barriers, giving you access to local QR payments across Asia.
