LOCA is proud to announce a groundbreaking collaboration with VISA to accelerate financial inclusion and reshape the future of urban mobility in Laos. This partnership brings together LOCA’s innovation in electric mobility and digital payments with VISA’s global expertise and technology to drive impact in the tourism sector and beyond.

Through LOCA PAY, we are empowering local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to accept payments from VISA cards issued around the world—seamlessly integrated via the LAO QR Code. This not only enhances convenience for international visitors but also supports the growth of Lao businesses by opening up access to global customers.

Our mission goes beyond technology. With our electric mobility ecosystem and ride-hailing platform, LOCA has created over 1,000 jobs for local drivers while leading the transition to a cleaner, greener transportation future. As Laos embraces the digital economy, our collaboration with VISA is a key step in building a more inclusive, sustainable, and connected society.

Together, LOCA and VISA are powering the future of digital economy in Laos.
