About BigPay
BigPay is an e-wallet run by AirAsia, characterised by the issuance of a prepaid Mastercard. It features a tight exchange spread and is strong for overseas use and travel, and also offers affordable international transfers. Foreigners can open an account via passport photo and selfie authentication, and it serves as a card alternative for people in the early stages of relocation who find it difficult to obtain a credit card.
