PPRO, a global cross-border payment provider, places the Chinese market in an extremely important position in its global market layout.
PPRO Chief Commercial Officer Eelco Dettingmeijer made it clear in a relevant interview in Shanghai: “The Chinese market plays a vital role in our global growth strategy.”
PPRO has officially set up an office in Shanghai, and plans to continue to expand its investment in China and the scale of its local team.
This move fully demonstrates PPRO’s emphasis on the Chinese market and its determination for long-term development.
On the same day, PPRO, headquartered in the UK, released the first Chinese version of the “PPRO Payment Yearbook Report”.
This report focuses on the rapidly growing trade corridor between Asia Pacific and Latin America, covering trade trends, consumer behavior and local payment preferences.
Its purpose is to help Chinese companies better understand the local payment systems in emerging markets and provide valuable insights for Chinese companies to accelerate their overseas expansion.
Eco Dettingmeier said: “The release of the Chinese version of the PPRO Payment Yearbook Report reflects our long-term commitment to treating China as an important strategic market.” As Chinese companies continue to expand into more complex international markets, providing a localized payment experience has become particularly critical.
PPRO relies on global payment infrastructure and deep local expertise to access multiple local payment methods through a single integration, helping merchants conduct business in a localized manner and achieve sustainable growth.
In the past ten years, PPRO has continued to support China’s leading merchants in conducting cross-border business, helping them achieve steady development.
Moreover, PPRO has fully integrated the Chinese market into its long-term global strategic layout.
In the past year, PPRO performed very strongly in the Chinese market, with the payment amount processed for merchants increasing by 49% year-on-year, and the number of transactions increasing by 50% year-on-year.
This data reflects the continued increase in cross-border e-commerce’s demand for localized payment capabilities.
In the field of artificial intelligence, Eco Dettingmeier has observed significant changes in the Chinese market.
Relevant industries are increasing investment in AI technology.
He pointed out that current payment is mainly divided into two modes: online payment and face-to-face payment, and the market is looking forward to the emergence of the third mode, namely agent payment driven by AI agents or generative commerce.
“In the future, we will focus on this emerging channel, especially leveraging our unique advantages in integrating global local payment methods to cope with the upcoming changes in the payment industry.” PPRO will rely on its own advantages to actively adapt to market changes, provide better payment services for the cross-border business development of Chinese companies, and help Chinese goods go global.
