Mobile Payment in Greater China 2014 4 / 15

Overview

One could believe China to be the best place for mobile payment development. The country
has the largest mobile phone subscriber base in the world, with over one billion users, it also
has a highly bancarized population with over 3 billion banking cards in circulation, and its has
been established that more than 440 of the approximately 600 cities in China, or 73%, have
set up systems to allow people to swipe smart cards on public transportation. In addition,
China is home to many major companies including handset manufacturers, telecom network
equipment developers, POS terminal manufacturers, etc. However, no global mobile
payment system has developed on a wide scale in China over the last few years.

Now, many leading players in the mobile payment ecosystem in China are launching
initiatives to deploy a global nationwide system for mobile payment. China Mobile, the
largest mobile network operator worldwide by the number of subscribers is partnering with
China UnionPay, Chinas National bankcard association and eight leading financial institutions
to launch a nationwide mobile payment project. Both other mobile network operators, China
Unicom and China Telecom, are also launching major projects.

The ability to rollout the project in every location in China, the acceptance network,
merchants education as well as consumer education will play a key role in the success of
these initiatives. Interoperability will be of paramount importance.

The MIIT China Electronics Standardization Institute (CESI) had set targets for e-commerce
sales of CNY 18 trillion (EUR 2.2 trillion), including online retail sales of CNY 3 trillion (EUR
368 billion), by the end of the 12th Five-Year Plan period (2011-2015), but it now appears that
the actual figures will exceed the targets.

At the same time, the highly competitive Hong Kong market is home to a series of initiatives
coming from partners with various backgrounds: the national ATM network and the mass
transit payment system are launching NFC projects at the same time as financial institutions
and mobile network operators.

The Taiwanese market, more federated under the umbrella of EasyCash, the existing
nationwide prepaid card, is on the path towards mobile payments, with the collaboration of
all telcos and most major banks.

1. NFC implementation options

1.1 Mainstream options


The Chinese mobile payment ecosystem has developed a variety of solutions for
NFC implementation.

Many handset vendors propose NFC-enabled handsets. These handsets come with a choice of
options for the secure element support:
UICC (SIM)-based secure element, to be connected through the international standard
SWP (Single Wire Protocol),
MicroSD based secure element, to be connected though an adaptation of the SWP,
supported by China UnionPay,
Embedded secure element.
A secure element (SE) is a tamper-resistant platform (typically a one-chip secure
microcontroller) capable of securely hosting applications and their confidential and
cryptographic data (e.g. key management) in accordance with the rules and security
requirements set forth by a set of well-identified trusted authorities.

1.2 Alternative options


In addition, several vendors including Watchdata have proposed solutions allowing to add
NFC functions to existing handsets, such as SIMpass or SIMpass-SC.

SIMpass-SC instantly transforms any handset into an NFC device. It uses an


integrated antenna, avoiding the need for external attachments and allowing it to
fit into the same space as a normal SIM card. SIMpass-SC technology embeds a
secure element, an active front end and an antenna into a single dual-interface SIM
card form factor, allowing to add NFC technology to existing mobile phone
handsets.

Taiwan-based GO-Trust Technology has announced its NFC-enabled microSD secure element.
According to GO-Trust, banks see the MicroSD secure element as a way of controlling better
mobile banking. HTC, a Taiwan-based handset vendor, is the first to deliver the dual standard
NFC phone and several other major China-based manufacturers announce product road maps
that include dual SWP standard phones available within six months. This independent secure
element could possibly be an option for built-in NFC phones.

2. NFC initiatives in Mainland China


Many industry players in China have announced initiatives to popularize NFC technology.

The government is playing its role as Chinas Ministry of Industry and Information
Technology's (MIIT) China Electronics Standardization Institute (CESI) is responsible for
devising a national standard for mobile payments. The standard uses 13.56 MHz NFC payment
technology and is compatible with a number of solutions for smart card products, including
SIM card-based, SD card-based, whole phone, and dual interface SIMpass solutions.

2.1 China Mobile


China Mobile, the world's largest mobile network operator, and
Chinese bank card association China UnionPay have announced
that their NFC payments service is live since summer 2013, in
more than fourteen Chinese cities, including Shanghai, Beijing
Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu and Ningbo, and eight banks have signed up to make use of
the partners' platform.

In Beijing, China Mobile customers can visit any of six designated China Mobile shops to
switch their SIM cards out for new ones that will allow them to connect their phones to their
bank accounts. Soon, Beijings public transportation system will let them swipe those phones
to pay for bus fares around the city. More globally, China Mobile subscribers need to acquire
an NFC SIM card, available at the carrier's stores, and download the network's mobile wallet
app, which is available for Android devices. After linking a bank account to the wallet, the
customer is free to make mobile payments at participating merchants equipped with
UnionPay QuickPass contactless POS terminals.

Bank of China, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, China CITIC Bank, China Everbright Bank,
China Minsheng Banking Corp, GF Securities, Bank of Shanghai and Bank of Beijing are the
eight banks partnering in the project. More are expected to sign up to the service, which uses
China UnionPay's trusted service management (TSM) platform which is fully integrated with
that of China Mobile. Initially, the app works on five NFC-enabled Android phone models that
support the single-wire protocol SIM standard : the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S III, the
HTC One, Huawei T8950N and ZTE U807N, and more handset are added on a permanent basis.

This launch is a consequence of a partnership signed in June 2012 between China Mobile and
China UnionPay designed to lead the commercial deployment of NFC payments in one
hundred cities across China.
