Seamless RMB Transactions Fostering the Growth of China Market
SHANGHAI — (BUSINESS WIRE) — December 3, 2013 — Mouser Electronics, Inc., a leading engineering resource and global distributor of semiconductors and electronic components, today announced the addition of Alipay® to its lineup of payment options for its highly valued customers in China.
With a local customer service center in China, and its ability to transact business through Alipay® and UnionPay using Chinese Renminbi (RMB), Mouser is uniquely positioned to provide world-class service excellence and high-quality authorized products to design engineers and buyers across China.
“What this all means is streamlined transactions and even stronger customer support throughout China,” said Mark Burr-Lonnon, Mouser Senior Vice President of APAC Business. “Alipay® is one of the most commonly used online payment options in China with several hundred millions of registered accounts. With Alipay®, Union Pay and Renminbi, we are now able to fully support the China market.”
“The significance of adding additional payment options and conducting business in RMB is more than just enabling the use of local currency,” Burr-Lonnon explains. “This progressive step allows us to provide an even smoother and quicker door-to-door delivery service to all Chinese customers without the hassle and added costs of customs’ clearance and handling fees, which will now be built into one convenient price.”
In addition to offering new payment services, Mouser now provides real-time QQ service, a popular online live chat and consultation program, allowing customers in China to interact with Mouser quickly and easily.
