Kona Money is an open payment system with which users can store and use multiple debit cards online and offline.
In order to make the solution available in both the Korean and Chinese markets, we are seeking collaboration with Chinese companies that know the ropes, according to the CEO.
The Korean company, meanwhile, has been participating in a smart city project in Sichuan. It will provide smart card platforms for public transport.
The CEO also said the firm will try to tap into the US mobile payment sector by partnering with a local firm.
