BigPay Better Together with airasia Superapp: Linked BigPay accounts to enjoy seamless payment experience, exclusive 5% off fights, RM50 off hotel bookings, and 2x airasia points
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, 10 October, 2023 – BigPay, the leading Southeast Asian finance app unveils itself as the exclusive wallet for payments within the airasia Superapp, which will be renamed to airasia MOVE soon.
From today, users of the one-stop travel platform offering services from flights, hotels, ride-hailing, loyalty program and more, will be able to check their BigPay balance, and use BigPay to seamlessly purchase flights, hotels, and more within the app.
To enjoy seamless payments via BigPay, airasia Superapp users only have to spend a few seconds linking their BigPay account. From there, users will be able to check their balance and pay in the app. In the coming months, users will also be able to sign up for a BigPay account directly within the app.
Zubin Rada Krishnan, Group CEO of BigPay shares: “We are delighted to be collaborating even closer with airasia Superapp to provide travellers a seamless payment experience for all their experiences - from a flight to Bali, to a hotel in Chiang Mai or duty-free chocolates from airasia shop. We encourage users to link their BigPay accounts on the Superpp, and for new users to sign up to BigPay to enjoy the ease of paying within the airasia Superapp ecosystem.
“With BigPay’s features now easily accessible to over tens of millions of users across the region via the SuperApp, it brings us one step closer to fulfilling our mission of empowering Southeast Asians with the financial services they need to level up their lives, one transaction at a time”, he adds.
“We are excited with the implementation of this collaboration as it truly enhances the experience of our app users. A seamless payment experience is key towards driving convenience for travellers, on top of the great benefits of linking their BigPay accounts to the app such as the exclusive discounts and 2x airasia points,” said Tan Mai Yin, Chief Operating Officer for airasia Superapp.
As part of the goal to provide a seamless payment experience, users who pay via their linked BigPay accounts on the SuperApp will be able to enjoy exclusive perks such as:
5% off AirAsia flights*
5% off flights on other airlines* booked via airasia Superapp
RM50 off Hotels on your first booking*
2X airasia points when you pay with BigPay for airasia ride, Hotels, and other airlines on the Superapp
Exclusive sale for BigPay users
Priority access to other airasia sale promotions
In the next phase of enhancements, users can look forward to an improved travel and payment experience, exclusive travel perks and discounts, and a wider suite of financial services available within Superapp.
