Up to now,LianLian Group has obtained 40 financial payment licences and business qualifications in various countries and regions,such as China,Hong Kong,Thailand,the United Kingdom,Japan,the United States,among which 29 American states have been licensed.

Recently,at the cross-border business seminar,the Payment and Settlement Department of The People's Bank of China announced that,domestic institutions are encouraged to apply for licences in overseas market,in addition,it could help recommend the domestic payment institutions to apply for licences abroad on the premise of regulatory compliance,which would be a good sign for Chinese enterprises to "develop the overseas market" under the background of "the Belt and Road".

Under the background of sustained slowdown in global economic growth,Southeast Asia is an emerging market with unlimited potential and reverse growth. Thailand,as the second largest economy and a country featuring the fourth largest population,its population is over 69 million,with a GDP per capita of more than USD $7200. In recent years,the increasing Internet penetration rate has greatly facilitated the development of Internet payment,especially the mobile payment in Thailand.

In the future,LianLian Group will be engaged in playing its advantage in mobile payment,cross-border payment and other fields,exporting the mature experience and technology in the Chinese market,fully providing compliant,premium and efficient payment services for Thailand market expansion-oriented Chinese enterprises as well as the local Thailand enterprises.
