An AI-Powered UI for Smarter Convenient Payments

AsiaPay, a leading digital payment service and technology provider in Asia, today announced the pilot launch of Voice Pay, an AI-powered voice payment experience that lets consumers speak into their mobile device and instruct payment using their preferred payment method — from digital wallets to cards. Voice Pay brings secure, hands-free checkout to everyday commerce, making payments faster, more accessible and more intuitive for consumers while helping merchants increase conversions and reduce friction.

With Voice Pay, customers can confirm purchases through natural speech on their mobile phone or other supported device. Behind the scene, AsiaPay connects the voice instruction to the customer's chosen payment method, while its intelligent payment engine manages authentication, routing, fraud protection and processing.

With the voice payments market set to nearly double from $10.9 billion in 2025 to $22.7 billion by 2030, and 81% of consumers already using voice technology weekly, early adopters are recovering 35% of abandoned carts via AI voice agents. As the payments industry shifts from static rules to adaptive AI, AsiaPay is embedding further intelligence into fraud scoring and routing.

"The way consumers shop is changing – and so is the way payments are processed behind the scenes," said Joseph Chan, CEO of AsiaPay. "With Voice Pay, we are giving merchants a voice front-end to an AI-powered payment interface that reduces friction for customers and improves economics for businesses. In an industry where payment networks and PSPs are racing to embed AI into their infrastructure and service, Voice Pay is AsiaPay's answer paving the way for agentic commerce."

AsiaPay Voice Pay is built for immediate use. Existing AsiaPay merchants can unlock this new user experience instantly with Zero-Code Enablement—requiring no development effort or system changes. For new merchants, the API-based gateway integration ensures smooth deployment across leading eCommerce platforms, supporting multi-wallet compatibility including Apple Pay, Google Pay, WeChat Pay, Alipay, and Octopus and others in Asia, with built-in biometric and tokenized security.
