GLN International ("GLN"), the global cross-border payment platform subsidiary of Hana Bank led by CEO Seok Lee, announced the expansion of its QR payment coverage across Mainland China through integration with the Weixin Pay (WeChat Pay) network operated by Tenpay Global.
The latest integration builds upon GLN's existing partnership with UnionPay International established last year, further strengthening GLN's payment infrastructure coverage across China. By connecting both UnionPay and Weixin Pay networks, GLN significantly expands QR payment accessibility for outbound travelers.
Unlike conventional overseas payment services that often require separate local apps or physical cards, GLN allows users to pay directly through familiar Korean financial and platform apps already used in Korea. The service is currently available through Purple GLN, Hana OneQ, Hana Money, Hana Card, and Toss, with additional partner channels including Naver Pay and KB Star Banking expected to launch sequentially.
"Through this expansion, travelers will be able to enjoy a more seamless QR payment experience across a much wider range of everyday scenarios in China," said Suk Lee, CEO of GLN International. "GLN will continue leading its global payment network to provide users with the same simple and convenient payment experience overseas as they enjoy at home."
