Global
Payments now in Sri Lanka
Global
Payments Asia-Pacific Limited (“Global Payments”),
a joint venture between The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking
Corporation Limited (“HSBC”) and U.S.-based
Global Payments Inc., has introduced a secure GPRS-powered
mobile payment service called Global Mobile Pay that
provides mobile card acceptance capabilities for merchants
in the Asia-Pacific region.
Global Payments is one of the first payment processors
to launch an extensive mobile payment solution for merchants
across Asia. This service is now available in Brunei,
China, India, Malaysia, the Maldives, the Philippines,
Singapore, Sri Lanka and Taiwan.
Global MobilePay is a sophisticated card acceptance
solution that uses GPRS wireless communication network
for merchants that need to accept card payments beyond
fixed locations or when traditional land line communication
does not meet business needs. Merchants can now conduct
face-to-face transactions anytime and anywhere. Through
Global MobilePay, Global Payments now provides a comprehensive
package that includes a mobile payment terminal, SIM
card and GPRS network connectivity through a telecommunications
partner, as well as payment processing services.
This new offering from Global Payments is ideal for
merchants who need to accept card payments away from
a retail countertop, such as cash-based delivery service
providers or trade show exhibitors. With Global MobilePay,
mobile merchants can now accept electronic payments
to improve customer service and reduce the cost of handling
cash significantly. For merchants in hospitality industries,
Global MobilePay can help enhance customer payment experience.
Hotels can use this payment solution to offer in-room
check in and check out services, while restaurants can
provide payment at table services to bring more convenience
to patrons.

with superior pa ment processing, and now with Global
MobilePay our merchants are empowered with the best-in-class
solution to accept card payments virtually anywhere,”
