Alipay+ and Grab have announced integrating Grab’s ride-hailing services into Alipay+ Voyager, their AI travel agent. This will make local transportation services in Southeast Asia more accessible for users of Alipay+ Voyager, who can now book rides directly from within their digital wallets. The partnership, which began in 2023, allows consumers to use their home e-wallets to make payments on the Grab app. Users can now book Grab’s ride-hailing services directly from the same e-wallet, without downloading an additional app. Launched in mid-2025, Alipay+ Voyager is currently available in Alipay (Chinese mainland), AlipayHK (Hong Kong SAR, China), and GCash (the Philippines). Users travelling to all eight Southeast Asian destinations where Grab is available can access Grab directly within Alipay+ Voyager. This integration removes friction in the customer journey, allowing users to access ride-hailing services seamlessly within an ecosystem they already know and trust.
“With Southeast Asia growing in popularity as a travel destination, making Grab’s services directly available within Alipay+ partner apps offers users the most comprehensive and trusted local transportation across the region,” said Scarlett Xing, General Manager of Alipay+ Travel Solutions, Ant International. “Alipay+ Voyager will continue to expand our ecosystem, particularly across essential travel services, to connect more partners with mobile-savvy travellers, while we collaborate to create new ways of engagement across the entire travel journey.”
“We’re thrilled to strengthen our partnership with Alipay+ Voyager to deliver safe and reliable ride-hailing services for more travellers visiting Southeast Asia. This collaboration underscores our shared commitment to enhancing the travel experience and providing greater convenience for millions of users,” said Samir Kumar, Head of Mobility at Grab.
Alipay+ connects 36 leading payment partner apps with over 1.7 billion user accounts to over 100 million in-store merchants in 70 markets. Complementing its cross-border payment capabilities, Alipay+ is developing digital services for its partners, including rewards, in-app tax refunds, and Alipay+ Voyager.
