HONG KONG, Nov 13, 2013 - (ACN Newswire) - Tradelink Electronic Commerce Limited ("Tradelink") (SEHK Stock Code: 0536) is pleased to announce the launch of its innovative mobile e-wallet, a universal plug-in solution that turns any smartphone or tablet into a mobile payment device.
 | | Tradelink Launches the First Cross Border Mobile e-wallet in Hong Kong, Taiwan & Macau |
Tradelink's new mobile e-wallet, totally independent of mobile phone manufacturers/models and telecommunication operators, is a true e-wallet supporting multiple payment means, including credit cards (e.g. MasterCard, Visa and UnionPay), pre-paid cards, e-cash/vouchers, coupons etc, to completely replace the different items commonly carried in one's wallet. A unique feature is that it enables users to apply e-signatures to ensure the security of their electronic transactions, such as e-Government services, internet/mobile banking services and e-check issuance, through the use of digital certificates that can be implanted into the e-wallet. The solution, built on a patented product, COPNI Wave provided by On Track Innovations Ltd, has already been certified by MasterCard while certification by other card associations is currently underway.
Tradelink's mobile e-wallet will be adopted by Joint Electronic Teller Services Limited ("JETCO") for its 30+ member banks in Hong Kong. As well, Tradelink's partners, Trade-Van Information Services Company ("Trade-Van") in Taiwan, and Macau Telecommunication Company Limited ("MTel") in Macau will also promote the mobile e-wallet in their respective markets to make it the first cross border solution in Greater China.
The mobile e-Wallet is the first product branded under Tradelink E-Biz Secure Solutions Limited ("TESS"), a subsidiary newly set up Tradelink to focus on the development and provision of security solutions and products for the security and authenticity of online transactions.
"With over sixteen years' experience in information security, Tradelink has a thorough understanding of the standards for the IT security requirements of the banking and financial industry. This enables us to provide innovative solutions for a wide array of client services and applications for Government, banks, payment service providers, merchants and telecommunication operators. As a business enabler, Tradelink's Mobile e-Wallet will provide an innovative and effective platform for the further development of mobile commerce in Hong Kong," said Mr. Michael Wu, Tradelink CEO & TESS Chairman.
"Leveraging on the co-operation with Tradelink in this cross-platform mobile payment solution that integrates with our electronic invoicing platform, we strongly believe that we would set a new wave for mobile payment trend in Taiwan." said Ms. Joyce Lien, Trade-Van CEO. Also speaking at the grand launch ceremony, Dr. Michael Choi, MTel CEO said, "Macau's economy has been growing rapidly in recent years, with increased spending by residents and tourists boosting the trading activities between Hong Kong/Macau/Taiwan.
