› Alipay.com is a third-party online payment platform. It was launched in China in 2004 by Alibaba Group and its
founder Jack Ma.
› Alipay is one of China's biggest payment services and competes with Tencent's WeChat Payment. Alipay is deeply
ingrained in the lives of Chinese consumers and is used to pay for items in-store and online for goods and services
ranging from taxis to restaurants and clothing.
› Alibaba is hoping that its active Alipay users, which now total 450 million, according to the company, will continue
to use the app abroad allowing the company to take advantage of the increasing number of Chinese tourists who
are spending more.
› "The vision is targeting two billion people within next five to ten years, not only in China but other countries too,"
Sabrina Peng, president of Alipay International, told CNBC at the Money 2020 fintech conference in Copenhagen
on 2016.

19. FinTech (R)evolution – P2P FinancingRaboBank– Netherlands
› Rabobank offers financing to businesses through high net worth customers
› Rabobank has run a trial in which SMEs can borrow money from high net worth customers of the bank.
› This offers broader access to financing for businesses and a new investment opportunity for high net worth
customers.
› This form of ‘peer-to-peer lending’ supplements existing forms of financing such as regular bank credit and
crowdfunding.
› Rabobank is building an online platform (Rabo & Co) that brings together businesses and Private Banking
customers.
› Businesses place their financing request on the platform and Private Banking customers state which loan they
wish to co-finance. In the trial phase, Rabobank itself will provide at least 50% of every loan.
20. FinTech (R)evolution – PSD2Payment Services Directive 2 – European Union
› On November 16, 2015, the Council of the European Union passed PSD2. Member states will have two years to incorporate the
directive into their national laws and regulations. 2018 is the milestone year for PSD2 going live.
› In short, PSD2 enables bank customers, both consumers and businesses, to use third-party providers to manage their finances.
› The new rules aim to better protect consumers when they pay online, promote the development and use of innovative online
and mobile payments, and make cross-border European payment services safer.
› Banks, are obligated to provide these third-party providers access to their customers’ accounts through open APIs. This will
enable third-parties to build financial services on top of banks’ data and infrastructure.
› AISP (Account Information Service Provider) are the service providers with access to the account information of bank
customers. Such services could analyze a user’s spending behavior or aggregate a user’s account information from several banks
into one overview.
› PISP (Payment Initiation Service Provider) are the service providers initiating a payment on behalf of the user. P2P transfer and
bill payment are PISP services we are likely to see when PSD2 is implemented.
› In September 2016, Smart Money People estimated that PSD2 had placed a 4% premium on FinTech valuations.

What we’re experiencing in Financial Services
has happened before (airlines, hotels, taxis,
commerce, advertising etc.)
The technologies involved are
complex & diverse – but the rules of
the game are the same
Educate yourself & your team, acquire new
skillsets & start selecting strategic partners
Assemble the necessary pool of skillsets
(internal & external) & create the appropriate
organizational structure
It’s NOT OLD vs NEW, LEGACY vs FINTECH
but rather a collaborative next step – it’s
truly a Yin-Yang situation
Play & Enjoy the new game!
