OKX Pay partners with aPM to connect customers to a Global Merchant Network
From hundreds of millions of card-accepting merchants worldwide to hundreds of online merchants and platforms and 1,000+ fashion brands in Seoul, OKX Pay offers more ways to pay with digital assets.
SEOUL, South Korea (28 October 2026) — OKX Pay today highlighted the scale of its merchant network, spanning OKX Card, online payments and local QR payments. Its latest addition is apM e-Vouchers in Seoul’s Dongdaemun fashion wholesale market, now available for online purchase with USDG, USDC or USDT through OKX Pay.
The network brings together three ways to pay. Eligible OKX Card customers can use their cards at merchants worldwide that accept Mastercard and VISA, giving them access to hundreds of millions of merchants globally.
OKX Pay & OKX Money customers can hold digital dollars, earn on the balance automatically while it sits there, and spend it anywhere Visa and Mastercard are accepted, with zero FX fees and cashback on every purchase. Across hundreds of online merchants and platforms, customers can pay with stablecoins in over 80 countries worldwide, enjoying the familiar convenience of digital wallet payments. OKX Money now supports local QR payment standards in more than 10 countries around the world, including : Brazil, Singapore, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Laos, Mongolia and Cambodia.
With the apM launch, customers can purchase apM e-Vouchers online with USDG, USDC or USDT through OKX Pay, then use them at participating stores by scanning the store QR code with the apM Members App. The vouchers are accepted across more than 1,000 fashion brands at apM, apM Luxe and apM PLACE in Dongdaemun.
“Stablecoins can make payments more convenient when they connect to the places where people already shop and do business. With OKX Pay, customers can now use USDG, USDC or USDT to purchase apM e-Vouchers online and access a broad network of brands in Dongdaemun,” said Wenbin Wong, General Manager at OKX Pay.
“Dongdaemun’s wholesale market draws buyers from around the world, with overseas visitors making up about 70% of apM Fashion’s customers. Yet buying has long meant exchanging money and carrying cash in Korean won. apM Fashion set out to change that—making wholesale shopping simpler for global buyers,” said Richard, CEO at apM Members.
