French firm eyes more opportunities in China

French payment processor Ingenico Group SA is gearing up for the expansion of its core business - cross-border e-commerce in China - and is set to look for more opportunities in emerging areas, including games, overseas education and the sharing economy, according to a senior executive of Ingenico ePayments.

Nick Tubb, general manager of Ingenico ePayments Asia Pacific, said last Thursday that as China is one of the company's fastest-growing markets, Ingenico will continue to invest resources to develop the cross-border e-commerce business related to the country.

"Currently, Ingenico China is mainly focused on the retail and travel business, and it is set to look for more business opportunities in games, the sharing economy, overseas education and other promising sectors in the future."
