Internet companies compete in the shadows for payment licenses

Tianyancha information shows that recently, Zhejiang Vipshop Payment Service Co., Ltd. has undergone a change in business registration, with its registered capital increasing from 1 billion yuan to 2 billion yuan, an increase of 100%. Since the beginning of this year, Internet companies' payment subsidiaries have frequently increased capital and made acquisitions, demonstrating their enthusiasm for expanding into the payment business. Experts interviewed believe that the current payment industry is shifting from "grabbing market share" to "increasing capital" and "strengthening compliance," with the Matthew effect continuing to intensify. Increasing capital is not only a necessary action to meet regulatory requirements, but also a strategic choice for payment companies to enhance their risk resistance and actively expand their business boundaries.
