In the opinion of Analysys, during the quarter, the overall transaction volume of e-commerce sites still grew, and Alibaba.com, JD.com and other e-commerce giants all disclosed good growth rate, which laid a good foundation for continuous growth of the size of Internet online payment transactions. The steady development of the wealth management industry and the rush season of tourism, commerce, trade, education, training and other industries during the summer also drove the transaction size expansion of the third-party payment industry.
Mobile payment kept growing quickly and laid a solid foundation for the size expansion of third-party payment transactions, stimulated by continuous expansion of mobile payment scenarios, deregulation of QR code payment and strengthening of promotion events of mobile payment institutions.
During the quarter, the reform of the fee rate on offline acquiring activities started, and the reduction of the fee rate made merchants more willing to accept bank cards, which promoted the expansion of the bank card-based acquiring market.
