Following the close of the public sale last week, we said that we had some exciting announcements in the pipeline. As promised, we can now reveal the first one — and it’s a biggie!

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that we are teaming up with QFPay, one of the largest Chinese mobile payment solution providers, used by Asian e-commerce giants Alipay and WeChat Pay.

Beijing-based QFPay, are a mobile payment technology, service and solution provider. They have partnered with numerous mobile wallet providers including Alipay, WeChat Pay and China UnionPay, serving over one million merchants across Asia.

To get some perspective on the scale of that, in the past six years alone, QFPay has managed more than 500 million mobile payment transactions, worth over USD30 billion.

This amazing partnership means that Nuggets customers will have the option to pay online without having to share any ID, credit card details, or personal data at over 1 million of QFPay’s merchant partners of across Asia.

This is an incredibly exciting day for us. QFPay and Nuggets complement each other perfectly and we can’t wait to give customers across Asia a chance to use Nuggets and protect their personal information.

Our Chairman, Steve Lau, said of the partnership: “We are discovering huge enthusiasm for Nuggets among the ecommerce community in China, and believe there is unlimited potential for the platform in China and the wider Asia market. The strategic partnership with QFPay signifies an important milestone along the road to fast growth across Asia.”

We’ve always known that Nuggets offers huge benefits for payment platforms and telecommunications firms in these regions. We’re looking forward to making more exciting announcements in the near future — so stay tuned!
