韩国互联网企业Kakao宣布与蚂蚁金服达成战略合作,双方将一起在韩国推进普惠金融服务。 据悉,Kakao在全球拥有超过4800万用户,旗下的Kakao Talk是韩国知名即时通讯软件,覆盖了韩国97%以上的智能手机用户。3年前,Kakao推出线上支付功能,目前累计用户逾1400万。 据了解,Kakao即将成立移动金融子公司Kakao Pay,并运用蚂蚁金服在数字金融领域的经验和技术打造移动金融服务平台。Kakao Pay将打通支付宝在韩国已接入的3.4万商户,并在韩国拓展更多移动消费场景同时支持Kakao Pay和支付宝两种支付方式。以后韩国人能在不少线下场景使用Kakao Pay支付,中国游客则能在这些场景用支付宝消费。 Kakao Pay CEO柳荣俊表示,与蚂蚁金服的战略合作对Kakao发展数字金融业务来说很有意义,未来将通过技术实现让所有的Kakao用户都能享受到数字金融服务。 蚂蚁金服国际事业部总裁道格拉斯·费根认为:“蚂蚁金服正在世界各地复制中国的数字普惠金融模式、将技术能力赋能到更多国家,而韩国是蚂蚁金服全球化战略布局中的重要市场。” 蚂蚁金服近年来已在出海方面拥有不少动作,以印度为例,2015年1月,蚂蚁金服通过资本输出和技术赋能,与印度当地电子钱包Paytm展开合作。2016年11月,蚂蚁金服与泰国支付企业Ascend Money进行战略合作。 自 Platum 카카오, 앤트파이낸셜로부터 2300억 투자유치 … 핀테크 사업 전략적 파트너십
