Bluecode and Bancomat, both members of EMPSA (European Mobile Payment Systems Association), are enabling users of their payment systems to pay seamlessly within each other’s acceptance network. This is made possible by a technical, commercial, and legal standard defined by EMPSA, which creates the prerequisites for cross-border interoperability of various payment systems.

Bluecode, an open QR code payment scheme, is the first Alipay+ partner to strike an agreement for interoperable mobile payments, enabling Alipay+ merchants to accept mobile payments from over 300 participating banks based in Germany and Austria.
The payment solution will be active in Europe for UEFA EURO 2024 and will be expanded globally over time, thus creating a bridge for Bluecode users to pay at up to 88 million Alipay+ merchants around the world.

Following the EURO 2024 ticket run, OneFootball and Bluecode are launching another giveaway for fans featuring amazing prizes, including autographed jerseys from football superstars Toni Kroos and João Félix, and other fan perks such as welcome vouchers. Fans will enjoy a smooth payment experience with OneFootball Pay at stadiums and fan zones during the event and beyond. After the championship, OneFootball Pay will continue to provide a superior payment experience for fans at regular football matches throughout the year
