  • Deal provides Company greater exposure to huge e-commerce sector in China

  • Positions SmartPay as compelling turn-key solution for third parties wishing to access the large B2B and online consumer sectors in China

  • Potential for a variety of global billing partners expected to grow and diversify revenue streams

  • SmartTrans is confident of increasing cash receipts over the coming months

11 February 2016: SmartTrans Holdings Limited (ASX: SMA) (SmartTrans or Company) is pleased to announce that the Company has secured a landmark agreement with Qiandaipay ( Beijing QianDaiPay Payment Technology Ltd ) allowing SmartTrans to facilitate cross border payments (up to USD50,000 per supplier per day) to businesses based outside China from consumers in China via its SmartPay platform.

Under the terms of the agreement, SmartTrans is able to provide 24-hour settlement for payments sent from China, with the Company able to integrate this capability into its online and mobile SmartPay billing and payments platform. SmartTrans will retain a fixed percentage fee for each transaction it processes.

Essentially, this makes SmartTrans and the SmartPay platform a highly compelling turn-key solution for any third party outside China wishing to access consumers in the huge e-Commerce sector in China.

SmartTrans’ payment systems, e-Commerce platform and customer acquisition capability added to its ability to settle payments outside of China on demand mean that a business based outside of China can readily sell their products in China via SmartTrans and rely on prompt payment into their own bank account in their own country in their chosen currency – all achieved without the need to establish an operating business in China.

This capability is also expected to appeal to businesses seeking to transact with Chinese consumers in their home country allowing Chinese tourists to pay via their UnionPay or AliPay account.

This agreement also gives SmartTrans the ability to market and promote its China billing and payments service globally, for both the business-to-business (B2B) and consumer e-commerce sectors.

Qiandaipay, with its foreign exchange payment business license and cross-border payment capability, has the distinction of being the first and one of only 27 institutions in the country that has been licensed by the People’s Bank of China (or central bank) to make cross border payments and repatriate funds outside the country.[1]

This partnership with Qiandaipay represents a significant milestone in further diversifying the strong revenue streams that SmartTrans is generating via SmartPay.

SmartTrans Managing Director Bryan Carr commented: “This agreement with Qiandaipay is a game changer for SmartTrans as it puts us in the enviable position of being one of a limited number of companies with the ability to readily repatriate funds from China on a daily basis.”

“This partnership also enhances SmartTrans payment platform appeal in the large and growing e-commerce sector in China with the ability to offer SmartPay as a gateway for anyone from around the globe wishing to sell products and services online to consumers or businesses in China and seeking a seamless payment solution to their domestic bank account.”

“I look forward to updating shareholders on our progress with this exciting new initiative over the coming months.”

SmartTrans also notes that its revenue base grew strongly in the last quarter and this revenue is expected to be collected in this and the following quarter in line with the payment terms (up to 120 days) the Company has in place with its telco and payment partners.
