Scan and Pay

What crypto means by it

Paying a local merchant by scanning their existing QR code, in their currency, from a stablecoin balance. The merchant receives their own local money and does not need to know anything about crypto.

What you already know this as

Using a foreign wallet at a domestic QR terminal, which is exactly the thing travellers normally cannot do, because those national schemes link to each other rather than to visitors.

In Kite: This is ours. Scan, review the exact amount, slide to pay. It draws directly from your balance, so there is nothing to top up and nothing stranded when you fly home.
