Works with Moreta Pay
Pay QPay codes without a Mongolian bank
Yes. Moreta Pay lets visitors pay QPay codes in Mongolia without a Mongolian bank account. Add money from the bank or card you already have, scan the QPay code at the counter and slide to pay in Mongolian tugrik. The merchant is paid the same way as when a local scans it.

The network
What is QPay?
QPay is Mongolia’s QR payment network, connecting the country’s commercial banks and e-wallets. Shoppers scan a QR code with the QPay logo from any Mongolian bank app or e-wallet to pay.

Can tourists pay QPay?
QPay is paid from a Mongolian bank or wallet app, so a code on the counter needs an account opened in Mongolia. A card from home can’t pay the code on the counter, and opening a local account takes paperwork a visit rarely leaves time for.
Moreta closes that gap. It pays the QPay code itself, from a balance you top up with your own bank, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and converts at the live rate at the moment you pay. One flat fee, shown before you slide to pay.
Card or cash
- A foreign transaction fee on most cards
- Your bank's rate, or the terminal's worse one
- ATM fees from your bank and the operator
- Leftover Mongolian tugrik to change back
Moreta
- One flat fee, shown before you slide to pay
- The live rate at the moment you pay
- No ATM and no card to hand over
- What you do not spend stays for the next country
How to pay a QPay code
Set Moreta up once, at home or on the plane. After that, paying a QPay code in Mongolia is a scan and a slide.

Local tips
- Look for the QPay mark on the sticker or the terminal screen.
- Carry cash for ger camps, drivers and anything outside Ulaanbaatar, where there is often no signal to scan.
- Top up the wallet while you are in the city: data drops away fast on the road.
