Grab Travel Pay, or Travel Pay is a scan-to-pay feature that lets you scan local QR codes and pay in supported countries using an eligible Mastercard or Visa card issued in your home country. You don’t need to manually top up a local GrabPay Wallet before paying. After you complete the required setup, your Travel Pay payments are funded by your linked card.

You can use Travel Pay if:

  • You are travelling in a country where Travel Pay is supported.
  • You have an eligible Mastercard or Visa card issued outside that country, such as your home country.
  • You have completed the required identity verification.

Travel Pay can be used for in-store QR payments at merchants that accept GrabPay as a payment method. Travel Pay is currently available in the Philippines and will be launched in other countries soon.

Before you can pay with Travel Pay, you must:

  1. Complete the identity verification required in the destination country to activate GrabPay wallet.
  2. Add and link an eligible Mastercard or Visa card.

Once setup is complete, you can scan a supported QR code and choose your linked card to pay.

Travel Pay uses Grab’s local payment services to help your foreign-issued card work with supported local QR payments.

Because the payment is processed through local payment services, you need to activate the required GrabPay Wallet setup and complete identity verification before using Travel Pay. This verification is required under local financial regulations and helps ensure transactions are processed safely and securely.

You’ll see a payment confirmation screen after a successful payment. You can also check your receipt or transaction history in the Grab app.
