Further, it enables merchants to manage transactional records for greater convenience.

The solution’s back-end system consolidates and processes all payments to support operational management, data analysis, accounting and reconciliation.

Bank of East Asia general manager and head of the personal banking division Vincent Hui said: “Nowadays, mobile payment is available everywhere. BEA’s i-Payment Hub helps merchants process both physical and online transactions and manage these transactions more effectively.

“This in turn lowers operating costs and allows our merchant customers to manage their cash flow with greater efficiency.”
