Powering merchants to accept card payments on smartphones and tablets



HONG KONG - Global Payments Asia-Pacific Limited (Global Payments), a leading regional card payment processor in Asia, and 1O1O, premium brand of CSL Limited and a leading mobile operator in Hong Kong, today announced the launch of an innovative mobile payment solution that turns a smartphone or tablet into a mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) terminal. 1O1O is the first mobile operator in Hong Kong to partner with Global Payments to launch this award-winning* mobile payment solution, which enables merchants to easily accept Visa®, MasterCard® and JCB® card payments away from a counter-top sales environment and wherever business takes them within Hong Kong.

Compatible with both iOS® and Android® devices and powered by 1O1O's leading 4G LTE network, the new mobile payment solution is set to change the face of Hong Kong's retail environment. With the new solution, merchants on the go - such as businesses with mobile sales force, home delivery services and outdoor sales operations can capture payments instantly and securely through an EMV certified card reader connected to a smartphone or tablet.



"1O1O is proud to be the first mobile operator to partner with Global Payments to introduce this advanced mobile payment service in Hong Kong, increasing value and convenience for our customers," says Paul Hodges, Executive Vice President, Corporate, Wholesale & International of CSL Limited.
