Aloft Global was first established in 2008 by a group of veterans in the realm of online payment and remittance services in Asia. It is now focused in helping online merchants get connected to some reliable non-credit-card local payment solutions for key consumer markets like Japan and China.
In the past few years, the tremendous growth of online shopper population in Asia has attracted more and more online merchants that have an international horizon. However, a successful entry into the region takes more than replicating those merchants' success stories elsewhere. Finding the right local payment solutions must be among their top priorities for equipping their websites.
If one thinks that international credit cards and e-wallets are good enough for the purpose, one must rethink now. In this region the penetration rate of credit cards, in Japan at its best, is good but far from overwhelming, not to mention China. International e-wallets which can only be loaded with credit cards and rudimentary bank transfers have never got popular enough here to become a serious payment solution for overseas merchants.
Unfortunately, signing up popular and reliable local payment solutions in different Asian countries is not as easy as looking up some names from the phone directory and making a few IDD calls. Language barrier, local regulations, currency control, time zone difference, cultural difference, etc. can all add up to a terrible nightmare to overseas merchants.
Aloft Global is here to bridge this apparent gap! With one single integration to the Aloft Global Payment System, overseas merchants are readily connected to many popular and reliable local payment methods. Still better, collected funds can all be settled directly to merchants' bank accounts overseas.
