Trust Wallet QR Payments Ended: How to Keep Paying With USDT by QR

Trust Wallet ended QR Payments, not your wallet. Here is how to keep paying merchants with USDT by QR in Vietnam and the Philippines, plus the best alternatives.

If you used Trust Wallet to scan a QR code and pay a shop with stablecoins, that option is gone. Trust Wallet retired its QR Payments feature on 31 March 2026 after a change with its payment provider. Your crypto was never at risk, the wallet stays self-custodial, but the one tap that let you pay a merchant by QR is no longer there.

Here is what happened, what it means for you, and how to keep paying with USDT by QR without missing a beat.

Short version: Trust Wallet ended QR Payments, not your wallet. To keep scanning and paying merchants with USDT, you need another app that plugs into the national QR rails (VietQR in Vietnam, GCash and Maya in the Philippines). The Fizen Super App is the most complete option if you want a simple all-in-one app with a card and eSIM and QR Pay built in, while LocalPay and Bitget Wallet are solid alternatives too.

What happened to Trust Wallet QR Payments

Trust Wallet launched QR Payments to let people pay real-world merchants with stablecoins, starting in Vietnam and the Philippines. You scanned a local QR code, the merchant received local currency, and you paid in USDT in the background. On 31 March 2026 the feature was discontinued because of a change in the underlying payment provider. Trust Wallet called the pause temporary but gave no timeline to bring it back. The important part: this only removed the pay-by-QR feature. Trust Wallet remains a self-custody wallet, so your funds stayed in your control the whole time.

What you lose, and what you do not

You do not lose any crypto. Because Trust Wallet is non-custodial, your keys and balances are unaffected. What you lose is the specific ability to scan VietQR, GCash, or Maya codes and pay a merchant with USDT from inside Trust Wallet. That is the one job you now need another app to do. If you would rather skip merchant payments and move money to a bank instead, see how to cash out USDT without losing it to fees.

The best ways to pay with USDT by QR now

Here is an honest side-by-side of the apps that still let you scan and pay merchants with stablecoins in Southeast Asia. We go deeper in our Fizen vs LocalPay vs Moreta Pay comparison.

App	Where you can pay by QR	Stablecoin and chain	Beyond QR pay
Fizen Super App Best pick	Vietnam (VietQR) and the Philippines (QR Ph)	USDT on BNB Chain or Solana, no gas fee on BNB top-up	Visa Prepaid card, eSIM, tokenized stocks
LocalPay	Vietnam (VietQR)	USDC and USDT on Solana	QR pay only
Bitget Wallet	Vietnam, the Philippines, and Brazil	USDT and USDC across several chains	Large multichain wallet, card
Trust Wallet	QR Payments discontinued since March 2026	Not applicable	Self-custody wallet, swaps

Trust Wallet is in the table for context, but since its QR feature is gone, the real choice is between the three that still work.

Fizen Super App

QR Pay, a core feature of the Fizen Super App, is live in both Vietnam (VietQR) and the Philippines (QR Ph), so the same app follows you across two of the region's biggest QR markets. You pay with USDT on BNB Chain or Solana, and topping up on BNB Chain has no gas fee. Funding is flexible: top up on-chain, or buy USDT inside the app with a Visa card or a bank transfer through P2P, so you do not need a separate exchange account. It is non-custodial and backed by Tether.

One thing to be clear on: QR Pay is not a separate app to download. There is no standalone "Fizen QR Pay" in the app store. You install the one Fizen Super App and QR Pay lives inside it, next to a Visa Prepaid card, eSIM data, and access to tokenized stocks, all on one USDT balance. That all-in-one simplicity is why it is our top pick here.

LocalPay

LocalPay is a clean, non-custodial QR app focused on Vietnam. You scan a VietQR code and it settles to the merchant in dong while you spend USDC or USDT on Solana. It is a sharp tool for a narrow job: if you are a nomad on a short Vietnam trip with Solana stablecoins already in hand, it is smooth. Note that if you reside in Vietnam, you top up with crypto only, not a local bank or card.

Bitget Wallet

Bitget Wallet integrates with VietQR and lets you scan to pay at a large network of locations, converting crypto to dong at checkout through its partner. It supports USDT and USDC across several chains and works as a full multichain wallet, and beyond Vietnam it also runs national QR pay in the Philippines and Brazil, so its coverage is wide. If you want one big multichain wallet that also pays by QR, it is a practical pick. We compare it more closely in Fizen Super App vs Bitget Wallet.

How to switch in a few minutes

Moving off Trust Wallet QR is quick. First, decide where you mostly pay, since that points to the right app. Then install your chosen app and fund it: send USDT on-chain, or for Fizen, buy USDT inside the app with a card or bank transfer. Finally, scan a merchant's QR code, confirm the amount, and pay. Your stablecoins stay yours until the moment the payment settles.

Which one should you pick

If you only pay in Vietnam and already hold Solana stablecoins, LocalPay does the job. If you want one large multichain wallet with national QR pay across several countries, Bitget Wallet fits. For most everyday spenders, though, the Fizen Super App is the simplest all-in-one replacement for Trust Wallet QR: its QR Pay covers Vietnam and the Philippines, and it runs your payments, a Visa card, and eSIM off one USDT balance, backed by Tether.

Frequently asked questions

Is Trust Wallet QR Payments coming back?

Trust Wallet described the pause as temporary when it discontinued QR Payments on 31 March 2026, citing a payment provider change, but it gave no return timeline. For now you need another app to pay merchants by QR with stablecoins.

Did I lose my crypto when Trust Wallet ended QR Payments?

No. Trust Wallet is self-custodial, so only the pay-by-QR feature was removed. Your keys and balances stayed in your control.

What is the best alternative to pay with USDT by QR?

It depends on where you pay. The Fizen Super App, through its QR Pay feature, covers Vietnam and the Philippines and adds a Visa card and eSIM, LocalPay is Vietnam-only on Solana, and Bitget Wallet is a large multichain wallet with national QR pay in Vietnam, the Philippines, and Brazil.

Which blockchains can I use to pay by QR?

With the Fizen Super App, QR Pay uses USDT on BNB Chain or Solana, and topping up on BNB Chain has no gas fee. LocalPay uses USDC and USDT on Solana, and Bitget Wallet supports USDT and USDC across several chains.

Do I need a separate app called Fizen QR Pay?

No. QR Pay is a feature inside the Fizen Super App, not a separate app. You download the one Fizen Super App and use QR Pay within it, alongside the card, eSIM, and more.
