What is Alipay?

The number of new members in the whole year was 4 1.3 million, exceeding the sum of the previous four years. The user growth in 2008 was 400% compared with 2007. Alipay believes that the future user growth will be driven by the vast grassroots areas, which will also fundamentally promote the development of the electronic payment industry.

From the geographical distribution of registered users, the top five provinces and cities are Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Beijing, Shandong and Shanghai. With150,000 registered users, Guangdong has indisputably become the province with the largest number of Alipay users.

The number of Alipay users accounts for 62.5% of the total netizens, and there are 6 Alipay users in every 10 netizen. More importantly, this market is still growing rapidly.

Cao Fei, an analyst at Analysys International, said that after the number of users reached 6,543.8+billion, Alipay has actually become one of the basic applications of the Internet. The unimaginable development speed from 6,543.8+billion users to 200 million users is a re-expression of the Matthew effect in the online payment market.
