Step-by-Step Guide: Setting Up Alipay in Singapore
While there is no standalone "Alipay Singapore" app, Singapore residents can easily register for the international version of Alipay to transact globally or receive remittances. Follow these steps:
1. Download and Install
Search for "Alipay" on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Ensure you download the official app developed by Alipay.com.
2. Register with Your Singapore Number
Open the app and tap "Sign Up". Select "Singapore" from the area code list (+65) and enter your mobile number. You will receive a verification code via SMS to confirm your identity.
3. Verify and Connect
Complete the real-name verification (Tour Pass or Standard Verification) using your passport. To fund this account or send money to it from a Singapore bank account, linking via a remittance partner like Panda Remit is often faster and cheaper than direct bank cards.
