The Seminar was arranged by Atos Worldline, the number one European PSP with 30.000 Merchants and €20 billion in transaction volume, and Intertek, the worldwide leader in product certifications. Merchants connected to Atos payment platform, SIPS, can use Chinese Bank Card services with China Unionpay from Chinova.

Mr. Jean-François Roche, Director of Business Development in Asia at Atos Worldline was the moderator and together with Intertek had invited their clients in France interested in increasing online sales to Chinese consumers. The purpose of the seminar was to explain the value for merchants with the joint offer of Atos, Intertek and Chinova. Merchants now get the key building blocks, for a secure in-road, to selling online to Chinese consumers. The key message was that China is not further away than Italy, UK or Germany when using these new services to cost effectively secure product compliance, drive traffic, make online payments and drastically increase sales in the booming online consumer market in China.
