Baidu鈥檚 mobile payment platform is now open
Print Edition
BAIDU Inc, which operates China’s most popular search engine, formally launched its mobile payment platform “Baidu Wallet” yesterday.
The launch follows the release of similar products by major rivals, including Tencent’s payment tool for mobile application WeChat in August and Alibaba’s Alipay Wallet in January 2013.
Baidu Wallet provides money transfer, payment and wealth-management services, according to Zhang Zhenghua, general manager of Baidu’s payment branch Baifubao.
Mergers and acquisitions have been popular in the past year in China’s Internet sector as online giants “BAT” — Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent — are speeding up development of their mobile Internet business.
The Nasdaq-listed Baidu closed a US$1.9 billion deal to acquire 91 Wireless Websoft, a Chinese smartphone application distributor, last August.
In May, Baidu spent US$370 million to buy the online video platform PPS in order to rival industry leader Youku Tudou.
