Additional Info
With Easy Transfer, users fill out a straightforward form online and the startup takes care of the rest for a fee of up to 200 yuan ($31). The startup served 120,000 students in the past year and processed over $2 billion in transactions, according to Gao. Overseas expansion has proven challenging for Tencent, and the firm has largely relied on strategic investments to extend its influence abroad.
