announced today that AsiaPay will now offer its merchants the
ability to accept Discover, Diners Club International and affiliate
networks cards through PayDollar, its omni-channel payment
management platform.
This relationship allows AsiaPay to provide a holistic
integrated card payment processing service for point-of-sale

the hospitality and eCommerce sectors. Discover Global Network
cardholders will experience increased acceptance at these merchants
in more than 12 markets in Asia including, Hong Kong, Singapore,
Thailand and Malaysia. The initial launch will be in Hong Kong and
will further extend across Asia in the future.
"In this new era of digital globalization, digital innovation
and disruption change the way we live and do business. There is
continued merchant demand for a complete integrated payment
acceptance solution across prevailing payment methods to optimize
sales conversion and better serve the customers globally especially
in digital channel payments. We are honored to work with Discover
Global Network to provide its global cardholders with greater
payment convenience and acceptance at digital merchants of AsiaPay
throughout Asia,’’ said Joseph Chan, CEO of AsiaPay.
“It is important to us that when our cardholders travel they are
able to use their card of choice at merchants that matter to them,”
said Amy Parsons, senior vice president of global acceptance at
Discover. “AsiaPay’s strong ecommerce portfolio in the travel and
entertainment sector will help us towards the goal of seamless card
use for our customers while traveling.”
Along with the deployment, ProtectBuy, the 3D Secure technology

authentication and to minimize fraudulent payment activities and
potential revenue losses of merchants.
