How Mongolia pays
Mongolia is more digital than its size suggests. Most adults bank, and everyday payments in Ulaanbaatar run through bank apps and QR codes: QPay lets a shopper scan and pay from almost any Mongolian banking app, and banks offer their own wallets such as SocialPay. Local debit cards are common, while cash still matters in the countryside.
International card use is concentrated among travelers, business buyers and Mongolians studying and working abroad, and the tögrög is a floating currency, so FX handling matters. For a merchant, the value is a clear starting point: international cards and express wallets behind one integration, 3DS on card-not-present payments, and retries across acquirers, with tögrög pricing and FX handled for you.

Everything it takes to run payments in Mongolia
Local payment methods are only half the job. We carry the operational weight — acquiring, settlement, FX, licensing and reconciliation — so you can treat Mongolia like any other market in your stack.
One integration, growing local coverage
Connect once for what's live in Mongolia today — including international card acquiring — and add local wallets and bank rails through the same integration as we bring them online.
Local acquiring, higher approvals
We route to local acquirers and retry failed payments across alternate rails, so domestic cards and wallets authorize at local rates instead of being declined as cross-border traffic.
Settlement, FX & repatriation
Collect in the Mongolian tögrög (MNT) and settle in your base currency. We handle the FX conversion and the local rules for moving funds out of the country — the part most global merchants underestimate.
Licensing handled locally
We're establishing locally licensed partners so you can process in-country as we expand local coverage — without standing up your own entity or chasing a license.
Payouts & reconciliation
Pay out to sellers and process refunds on the same rails you collect on, and reconcile every flow — pay-in, payout, refund — in one ledger, in local or base currency.
Fraud, disputes & compliance
Real-time screening, chargeback and dispute handling, and KYC/AML that matches local regulator expectations — built in, not bolted on.
