The Rising Chinese E-Payment Giant - Alipay

By ESC Editorial Team, 3 months ago

Alipay (the subsidiary of Ant Financial Group) is probably the most well-known name in China. Chinese use this application several times a day: they pay through its QR scanning payment or manage their asset through its mutual fund – Yue’bao. But unlike its hot creation, Ant Financial was pretty much forgotten by the public. Born in 2004, it evolved from a small department of Taobao that housed only a handful of employees doing settlement work using the simplest spreadsheet of those days. Within a decade, it has established itself as the most valued internet finance enterprise in China transforming the entire financial industry with its massive data and powerful technology. The book tells of Alipay’s journey from “nobody” to the most widely-used payment system, and also records significant stages in its evolutionary history. The book also provides abundant reference and inspiration on entrepreneurial thinking, business concept, corporate culture, operating mode and personnel philosophy.

Jack Ma said Alipay’s independence from Taobao was an imperfect but correct decision. Its story of development not only mirrors Jack Ma’s transformation from a start up beginner looking for an angel investment to an entrepreneur who values independent business, but also traces all the steps of innovation and experimentation of the Alipay team – looking ahead and fearless as their leader Jack Ma. When the fast-growing internet market has cultivated mighty participants in the industry such as Wechat and JD.com, Alipay is urged to think hard about how to get ahead. With the launch of Alipay, Ant Financial has crossed borders in recent years – bringing to market products that are suitable for the average person, such as Zhima Credit and small loans for rural areas, so that they could gain access to the financial world; it exported a payment technology to keep track of the long-term development on the globe. Admirable, however, is that in the ever-changing environment, it has never lost the original dream that everyone should enjoy the convenience of the internet.
