Commitment to Uninterrupted Service remains Constant…
The wake of coronavirus has orchestrated leaders with the issues of protecting the interest of both clients as well as employees. The cross-border business-to-business and hospitality industry transactions have halted and been majorly affected due to the shutdown of boundaries. The other effect can be seen on the growth of online marketing—retailers with more aggressive digital sales and marketplace through online and mobile have benefited from consumables and groceries.
On the other hand, there is a strong rise in contactless payment due to the new norms of social distancing which has helped AsiaPay immensely. The company is providing digital payment solutions continually. “Our commitment to providing secure, reliable payment processing, quality local client service as well as our 24/7 technical support remains unchanged and is in force,” said Joseph. He further added that AsiaPay’s regional virus taskforce is constantly communicating and monitoring closely the latest developments of the virus and the related Government Policies in each country and will apply necessary measures timely.
New Normal, New Preparations
The pandemic has altered the business operations globally and has had a startling impact on both the organizations as well as employees. Joseph and his team, however, ensured this transition be smooth. The team was asked to operate remotely and was allowed flexible working hours. While working remotely, the team made effective use of online meeting tools and webinars. Moreover, Joseph identified the need of keeping the employees’ morale high in this unprecedented situation and developed various “learn-from-home” training programs, and launched the “family-aid program” for the families with financial needs.
Furthermore, once the lockdowns were released, Joseph offered holiday benefits to the employees. He also ensured the safety of the working environment with continued sanitization and provision of medical supplies. “AsiaPay is on top of the situation when it comes to implementing safety protocols and social distancing orders in the workplace. Containing the virus through safety standards is the top priority when running our business,” added Joseph.
Walking on the Right Path
Talking about the company’s future plans, Joseph asserted “AsiaPay must follow the three future directions of the payment industry–globalization, digitalization, and personalization.” Under the auspices of Joseph, AsiaPay is continuing to expand its footprint by providing customized and convenient payment solutions. The company has recently added several new payment solutions to its portfolio. It includes a recently launched application AppPay –which allows merchants to accept AliPay, WeChat Pay, and other local QR payments such as FPS.
