Yeahka: driving investment in SaaS payment solutions

As the development of payment technologies evolve, so does the demand from merchants for digital and smart solutions in order to continuously acquire customers and improve the experience provided via innovative technologies. 

Being a leading payment based technology platform in China, Yeahka has over the last few years rapidly expanded its customer base accumulating large volumes of data. As a result the company has been able to leverage its growing expertise in big data analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) technology to further fulfill the need for digital and smart solutions.

Investment platform continues to expand in the industry

With this in mind Yeahka has expanded its payment and SaaS business via its investment platform. As a result Yeahka has strengthened its value chain from payments to business services driving value for its customers.

“Haoshengyi has been expanding rapidly by effectively capitalising on market opportunities that stem from the evolving digital economy, where micro and small merchants are in dire need of intelligent business solutions,” noted Yeahka in a company statement.
