TOKYO, May 29, 2013 (ANTARA/PRNewswire) -- MPayMe Ltd., a global mobile business company, and Billing System Co. Ltd., a leading provider of payment support and consulting services in Japan, announced a strategic partnership today. The collaboration will see MPayMe's ZNAP application integrated into Billing System's platform without any additional infrastructure, a move that will revolutionise Japan's mobile payment market. The partnership symbolises a key milestone for MPayMe following the announcement earlier this month of another strategic partnership with First Data from the United States. With these two new developments, MPayMe is poised to become the leader in worldwide mobile payments.

ZNAP is a cross-platform application founded in mobile payments but expanded to offer extensive value added features. These features deliver an easy, intuitive and secure QR code scanning and PIN-payment method for consumers. ZNAP also creates customer relevance through one-to-one marketing, targeted offers, loyalty integration and couponing that supports new revenue methods and efficiencies for merchants. This branded solution can be deployed directly or embedded within existing merchant applications, depending on the optimal business strategy.

"We believe MPayMe's ZNAP is uniquely positioned to be the ideal mobile business solution to benefit our customers," said Mr. Eda, CEO and President of Billing System. "The vision behind their approach dovetails exactly with our goal of helping the industry generate engagement between merchants and their customers, creating opportunities for interaction that ensures visibility and mutual benefits."

MPayMe's ZNAP represents a new generation of integrated payment solutions for businesses, offering a comprehensive layer of value-added services and industry specific vertical features. Thanks to payment capabilities across both traditional (e.g. in-store, online, App-to-App) and new sales channels (e.g. bill and invoice, mobile POS, virtual shopping), ZNAP allows merchants and businesses to solve problems, create new sales opportunities and leverage customer loyalty. Supported by best-of-breed security features and patented technology, ZNAP delivers value for both merchants and consumers. As a mobile cloud-based solution, ZNAP requires no additional hardware or infrastructure for either merchants or their customers.

With the Billing System platform, consumers are able to process payment transactions, store loyalty cards and access coupons through the ZNAP application from any smartphone at no additional charge. This process also allows merchants to deliver unique offers easily that help them manage business payments across various customer channels and without the complex integration of added hardware.

"MPayMe is in the process of establishing the most robust footprint ever in the global mobile payment market," said Mr Gadotti, Group CEO of MPayMe. "Japan, a country well-known for its burgeoning innovations, will be an excellent business environment for MPayMe to develop users in a short period of time."

Billing System has a long history of delivering payment platforms and services. Now, with the scalable, enterprise-grade features of ZNAP, Billing System can advance their goal of delivering services worldwide.

ZNAP is rolling out pilots across various regions beginning of July 2013 in UK, the US, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, Hong Kong and Japan and being widely available across the world by the beginning of 2014.
