A wallet, addressed by phone

A payout to Alipay needs no bank details: the phone number linked to the account and the recipient’s name are enough. The money lands in the Alipay balance.

Paying codes

In China, DVBridge also pays merchant QR codes of Alipay and WeChat Pay. The request carries the code as read, and the merchant behind it receives the payment.
