For many Filipinos exploring Southeast Asia, getting around can be one of the trickiest parts of the trip especially when juggling different apps, currencies, and payment options. Now, there’s good news: Alipay+ Voyager, the AI-powered digital travel assistant under Ant International, has integrated Grab’s ride-hailing services directly into its platform.
This means travellers from the Philippines using GCash can book Grab rides abroad right from their e-wallet there's no need to download a separate app. For jet-setting Pinoys, it’s a big step toward making travel smoother, safer, and more convenient.
A Stronger Alipay+ and Grab Partnership
The collaboration between Alipay+ and Grab isn’t new. Back in 2023, the two companies teamed up to allow users to pay with their home e-wallets on the Grab app. With this latest integration, the partnership has gone one step further: travellers can now book Grab rides directly within Alipay+ Voyager without leaving their e-wallet ecosystem.
As Scarlett Xing, General Manager of Alipay+ Travel Solutions, explained: this integration helps “mobile-savvy travellers access trusted transportation seamlessly across Southeast Asia.”
Where You Can Use It
Through Alipay+ Voyager, travellers can now access Grab in eight Southeast Asian destinations: Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar.
For Filipinos, this means you can fly to places like Singapore or Bangkok and easily book a Grab ride straight from your GCash app.
Convenience and Security on the Go
By embedding Grab into Alipay+ Voyager, travellers can enjoy:
- Seamless booking: No need to switch apps.
- Trusted payments: Use your home e-wallet, like GCash, securely abroad.
- Time savings: Skip app downloads and language barriers—just book and ride.
Samir Kumar, Head of Mobility at Grab, highlighted that this partnership is about delivering safe and reliable rides for millions of travellers, enhancing their overall journey across the region.
For many Pinoys traveling within Southeast Asia—whether for business trips, family vacations, or quick getaways—this integration offers peace of mind. You get the convenience of cashless payments, the reliability of Grab, and the security of staying within your trusted e-wallet app.
It’s another step toward making cross-border travel stress-free, cash-free, and app-light.
With Alipay+ Voyager and Grab joining forces, Filipino travellers can now enjoy a more seamless ride-hailing experience across Southeast Asia. Whether you’re chasing city lights in Singapore, enjoying street food in Bangkok, or shopping in Kuala Lumpur, your GCash app is now your ticket to convenient transportation.
