Chinese Version MOLePoints Payment System Launched

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 13 (Bernama) -- MOL AccessPortal Bhd (MOL), a MSC Status company has introduced a Chinese language version of the MOLePoints micropayment system in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations.

The new version enables consumers who are Chinese-literate to perform online transactions without credit cards and provides a whole new experience of purchasing products and services online.

In a statement today, the company's chief executive officer Ganesh Kumar Bangah said that the Chinese market was a huge and an untapped market for MOL AccessPortal.

The company which specialises in Internet media and e-commerce, has three subsidiaries involved in the provision of media content and online payment services.

One of the key range of products on one of its operating programmes, MOLePoints, is a suite of more than 80 massively multiplayer online role playing games.

The launch of MOLePoints in Chinese would allow the company to tap a significant percentage of the market and also grow the gaming industry in Malaysia, Ganesh said.

In conjunction with the launch of MOLePoints in Chinese, MOL also announced a few new payment channels targeting the Greater China market, namely China UnionPay, China Post and a soon to be launched Bank of Taiwan payment option.
