Connecting 45 Million Korean, 120 Million Japanese and 1.3 Billion Chinese Potential Online Consumers
 
Many merchants experienced a vast number of challenges working with integrating local payment schemes to their online business strategy. ONE Payment Alliance service model was built based on eliminating many challenges that many global merchants encountered. Our platform was built on the requirements from global merchants need.

China, Japan and Korea markets are unique not only the payment mechanism but the surrounding online environments many relating to local financial regulations, government compliances and online consumer behaviors etc. Often, many merchants shy away from these markets due to complexity or/and lack of local knowledge to set up the online service which could result to missing out on time to market.

Challenges are

working with local issuers/acquirers as foreign merchant
implementing local standard payer authentication mechanism
(e.g. Korea online shoppers must be authenticated via public digital certificate for all transactions over $300 online)
understanding online consumer behaviors
(e.g. many Japan¡¯s online shoppers rely on convenient stores, Konbini, to conduct in-store payments)
setting up real-time transactions
preventing fraud and other risk management
communication in local native language
understanding the online market trends and payment method associated
