NTT Communications Launches New Payment Solutions to Help Global Merchants Maximise e-Commerce Opportunity in Asia
HONG KONG - Thursday, June 5th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NTT Communications Corporation, the ICT solutions and international communications business within the NTT (NYSE:NTT) Group, has announced the introduction of its payment solutions to help merchants expand their reach and gain access to the global e-Commerce market’s vast potential. The solutions lower the barriers of entry for merchants, allowing rapid access to high-growth e-Commerce markets such as China.
“Asia’s e-Commerce market is expected to reach over US$525 billion¹ in 2014, with China a key driver of growth. However, implementing and managing an effective payment strategy can be a very complicated process for merchants. In our survey² of 200 large US and European global merchants, 99 per cent of organisations reported challenges when delivering e-Commerce in Asia such as dealing with different domestic payment methods, currency restrictions, tax regulations, and high transaction costs. NTT Communications Payment Solutions have been designed specifically to help global merchants expand their online presence and take advantage of the surge in e-Commerce activities in Asia, especially in China,” said Tyrone Lynch, Vice President, eBusiness of NTT Com Asia.
Hon Charles Mok, Legislative Councillor representing the Information Technology sector of Hong Kong commented, “The rising tide of e-payment plays a fundamental role in the development of the ICT sector. It is encouraging to see a solution launched, taking eCommerce to another level."
Developed by NTT Com Asia, the company’s East Asia Headquarters, the payment solutions leverage the group’s global presence and strengths in technology and IT infrastructure, providing comprehensive solutions for all online payment needs. A single, simple integration gives access to multiple acquirers and payment methods around the world, allowing merchants to quickly expand their business reach. With the company’s proven China payment solution, overseas merchants can conduct cross-border e-Commerce in Reminbi and take advantage of the market’s e-Commerce boom.
Key benefits of NTT Communications payment solutions:
Diverse local acquiring means optimised access to global markets. With comprehensive coverage of transaction currencies and local payment methods, merchants can give their customers the ability to pay by the method that is most convenient. Cross-border processing options and the availability of settlement in multiple currencies limits foreign exchange exposure, reducing overall cost.
As a consolidated payment solution, merchants can manage the entire payment value-chain through a single point of contact and simple, one-time integration. The solution provides centralised reconciliation and reporting, with real-time data analytics and business intelligence on a transactional level.
Advanced security tools such as velocity checks, BIN (Bank Identification Number) verification, 3D secure, and market-specific authentication methods help manage risk and lower the chance of fraudulent transactions. Other features such as tokenisation protect sensitive customer data in accordance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) Level 1 standards.
“Our experts work with merchants closely to help define and implement innovative payment strategies that yield optimised results. In addition to advanced e-Commerce payment processing, our omni-channel solution supports merchants’ evolution to new payment models, such as online-to-offline (O2O) commerce,” said Lynch.

Smartmatic Presents Its Electronic Voting in South Korea
LONDON. - Thursday, June 5th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE) Smartmatic has once again demonstrated its extensive experience in election automation and electronic voting. This time, the world’s leading voting technology and service provider shared its knowledge at the election observation mission and the Election Knowledge Fair, organised by the Association of World Election Bodies (A-WEB) in Seoul, South Korea from 30 May – 4 June.
The events gathered electoral commissioners, as well as representatives from parliamentary and civic organisations, from over 32 countries, including China, Iraq and Russia. South Korea held local elections on 4 June.
The A-WEB was originally formed to protect the integrity of elections through observation missions, but it’s evolved into a forum for exchanging election information and good practices.
South Korea’s President, Park Geun-Hye, commenting on the importance of the A-WEB initiative, stated: “Despite our differences in electoral systems and cultures, we have a shared objective of representing the hearts and wishes of the general public. To achieve this objective, I believe it is very important for us to have exchanges and learn from each other’s systems and cultures.”
The Smartmatic team in South Korea showcased the technologies that have helped make the company the world leader in election automation. They also shared their experiences of working with electoral commissions in five continents to improve their elections.
After a brief introduction of the company, Smartmatic presented two of its success stories, the Philippines and Venezuela. From 2007 to 2010, the Philippines transitioned from a totally manual system to the most advanced system in Asia achieving legitimate results in record time, together with a positive impact on economy. Since 2004 Venezuela has implemented over 13 national elections to great success with what is now the only 100% automated and fully-verifiable voting system in the world.
About Smartmatic
We focus on creating technology and offering services that have a profound social impact. In helping governments run better elections, we have processed over 2.3 billion auditable, secret and secure votes in more than 3,500 fraud-free elections. Our innovative approach to elections has made us the leader in the electronic voting industry worldwide in terms of revenue, profit, product offering, geographical presence and technological advancement.
We employ over 800 people in the US, UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Mexico, Barbados, Haiti, Brazil, Panama, Venezuela, Philippines, India and Taiwan.
