Trunkbow to Develop New e-Payment System for China Minsheng Banking Corp.
New Platform to Simplify Mobile and Internet Payments for 10 Million CMBC Cardholders
BEIJING, Sept. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Trunkbow International Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: TBOW) ("Trunkbow" or the "Company"), a leading provider of Mobile Payment Solutions ("MPS") and Mobile Value Added Solutions ("MVAS") in China, today announced that it has been selected to develop and implement a new electronic payment system for China Minsheng Banking Corp., Ltd. ("CMBC"), China's first national joint-stock commercial bank, serving non state-owned enterprises, small businesses and high-end consumers.
Under the agreement, Trunkbow is developing a complete back-end system, which includes a gateway to the clearing-house, an express payment option for websites and mobile apps, and a merchant management system. CMBC plans to complete the implementation of this technology in the fourth quarter of 2012 or first quarter of 2013. It will enable one-click payments for online and mobile purchases made by CMBC's 10 million credit card holders.
"This agreement with CMBC represents another important step forward for our business. Access to CMBC's large, growing customer base will substantially extend our reach, as we now have solutions that allow carriers, merchants, processors and banks to improve the payment experience for their customers," said Mr. Qiang Li, CEO of Trunkbow. "We continue to leverage Trunkbow's technological expertise and leadership position in the MPS market to enter new, complementary segments such as proprietary e-payment systems. This is a highly secure, cost-effective platform that will enable CMBC to offer credit card customers and merchants greater online payment flexibility in both the desktop and mobile environments. We are solidifying our position in the mobile arena, while extending our presence into other areas of the broader payments ecosystem. With our merchant acquisition efforts gaining traction, our prospects for the remainder of 2012 and into 2013 remain strong, and our longer-term growth potential has become even greater through this latest offering."
Trunkbow's product portfolio currently includes POS and app-based mobile payment products, online-to-offline payment and mobile applet offerings in conjunction with China UnionPay. Trunkbow is also developing a cloud-based MPS solution.
