Thunes connects global wallets to China's QR code payments
Thunes launched a QR Code Payments solution in 2024 to connect global wallets and banks to China’s QR code networks (Alipay, WeChat Pay, e-CNY) via a single API. In 2025 Thunes expanded interoperability to enable cross-border QR payments across 130+ countries and 80+ currencies, supporting merchants who want to offer QR-based checkout to international customers. Thunes highlights transparency around pricing and FX within its API, making it attractive for fintechs, PSPs, and large retailers seeking to add QR code payments with predictable cost structures. The solution is widely used by platforms seeking access to Chinese QR rails.
