HONG KONG, July 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lianlian DigiTech, a leading Chinese provider
of cross-border payment solutions, has been named the winner of the "Best in Fintech
Innovation Award" at the HKMA/HKT Global Innovation Awards 2025/26. The awards are
co-organized by the Hong Kong Management Association (HKMA) and Hong Kong Telecom(
HKT).

The company secured the honor with its proprietary global payout platform, LGPS (
Lianlian Global Payout Service). The award program is a premier annual event in 
Hong Kong that celebrates outstanding innovation across industries, with this particular
category dedicated to fintech projects that are actively transforming financial 
services through technology.

Lianlian DigiTech distinguished itself among a highly competitive field of entrants.
The win not only validates the company’s technological expertise and real-world 
application value, but also underscores the growing global influence and competitiveness
of Chinese fintech solutions in the cross-border payment space. 

**Data-Driven Cross-Border Payments: How LGPS Bridges China and Global Markets**

As artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and other emerging technologies reshape
global commerce, the global payments landscape is undergoing a fundamental shift.
Traditional bank wire transfers — with their manual processes, layered intermediary
banks, opaque fees, and slow review cycles — are increasingly ill-suited for today’s
high-volume, low-value, and fragmented trade flows.

Lianlian DigiTech’s LGPS directly addresses these pain points. Through a unified,
standardized API, the platform integrates global payment networks with localized
clearing systems, creating a new payment corridor between China and international
markets. This enables overseas payment service providers (PSPs), banks, and other
financial institutions to seamlessly access payment infrastructure both within China
and across multiple jurisdictions — delivering end-to-end transparency, regulatory
compliance, operational efficiency, and full traceability for every transaction.

To tackle these long-standing industry challenges, LGPS delivers breakthroughs across
four critical areas—use-case coverage, settlement speed, regulatory safety, and 
operational transparency—fundamentally redefining the cross-border payment experience.

**Versatile use-case coverage.** LGPS supports a broad range of payment scenarios
within a single integrated platform, including B2B trade settlements, cross-border
e-commerce merchant collections, foreign trade supplier payouts, personal remittances,
and marketplace fund disbursements. This makes it a one-stop solution for virtually
any type of China-linked commercial or financial flow.

**Speed and cost efficiency.** Powered by a global network of localized clearing
capabilities, LGPS dramatically reduces the number of intermediary banks in the 
transaction chain. The result: real-time settlement in many cases, direct RMB deposits
ready for immediate use, and significantly lower multi-tier fees—delivering both
speed and cost-effectiveness without compromise.

**Regulatory-grade compliance and security.** Backed by Lianlian DigiTech’s portfolio
of 68 payment licenses worldwide, and reinforced by proprietary AI-driven anti-money
laundering (AML) and fraud-detection systems, LGPS ensures full-chain regulatory
compliance. Every transaction is monitored and secured, giving businesses confidence
that funds move safely within legal frameworks.

**End-to-end transparency.** LGPS provides fully accessible tools including real-
time balance inquiries, automated standard report downloads, and complete visibility
into transaction initiation and status. Every payment is traceable from start to
finish, with a clear digital audit trail. This level of transparency gives financial
institutions and merchants robust support for fund management, reconciliation, and
auditing—eliminating the guesswork that has long plagued cross-border payments.

LGPS is rapidly expanding its global ecosystem. Leading international players—including
Thunes, a global B2B payments infrastructure platform, and 12 Victory, a well-known
cross-border remittance service—have already integrated with the platform. Through
real-world commercial deployments, LGPS has consistently demonstrated its reliability
and technological edge, with its performance now fully validated across diverse 
global markets and use cases.

**Driving "AI Native + Global": Building Next-Generation Intelligent Financial Infrastructure**

As a leading Chinese provider of digital and intelligent cross-border payment solutions,
Lianlian DigiTech remains firmly committed to its "AI Native + Global" vision. With
AI-native innovation at the heart of its business, the company is embedding AI, 
blockchain, and other advanced technologies into every stage of cross-border fund
flows. By collaborating closely with major global banks, card networks, e-commerce
platforms, and a broad range of service providers, Lianlian DigiTech is building
an open, collaborative, and globally integrated digital payment ecosystem. Together,
these efforts are laying the foundation for a trusted, intelligent financial infrastructure
that enables Chinese businesses to connect seamlessly with commercial opportunities
worldwide.

To date, Lianlian DigiTech holds a global portfolio of 68 payment licenses and regulatory
authorizations. Its operations span more than 100 countries and regions, supporting
settlement in over 140 currencies. With more than 10.4 million merchants and businesses
served, the company delivers secure, efficient, and fully compliant cross-border
collection and payment solutions for a diverse client base — including cross-border
e-commerce sellers, foreign trade companies, and multinationals expanding into global
markets.

The launch of LGPS represents a critical milestone in Lianlian DigiTech’s "AI Native
+ Global" initiative—expanding the reach of global payment services and delivering
a truly seamless payment experience. Winning this prestigious HKMA fintech award
is not only an industry validation of LGPS’s technological innovation and global
service value, but also a strong endorsement of Lianlian DigiTech’s combination 
of AI-native technology and its worldwide payment network.

Looking ahead, Lianlian DigiTech will continue expanding its AI-native capabilities
and global payment network while strengthening partnerships with banks and financial
institutions worldwide. Drawing on its expertise in AI-native technologies and globally
compliant payment infrastructure, the company is developing an end-to-end, fully
intelligent payment platform designed to streamline payment flows, boost cross-border
efficiency, and help accelerate the digital economy. Together, these efforts will
create new opportunities and lasting value for international payments and global
cross-border trade.
