Uber has struck a deal with Alipay that will allowChinese travellers to use the online paymentsplatform to request and pay for rides overseas, asthe US ride-hailing company seeks a fresh edge inthe highly competitive Chinese market.
優步(Uber)與付出寶(Alipay)殺青一項協定，許可中國旅客在外洋應用付出寶叫優步的車並付款。這家美國叫車辦事公司試圖在競爭劇烈的中國市場樹立一項新的上風。
The deal will allow Chinese users of Uber to pay inrenminbi using Alipay, the online payment servicerun by Alibaba’s financial affiliate Ant Financial, across the 68 countries in which Uber operates.
依據該協定，在優步有營業的68個國度內，優步中國用戶將可應用付出寶以國民幣付款。付出寶是阿裏巴巴(Alibaba)旗下金融公司螞蟻金服(Ant Financial)運營的在線付出辦事平台。
As Uber has expanded rapidly, processing payments in each new market has been a challenge.The San Francisco-based company has struck scores of payments deals around the world andintroduced cash payments in several cities.
跟著優步敏捷擴大，在每一個新市場處置付出已釀成了一項挑釁。這家總部處於舊金山的公司在環球各地殺青了大批的付出協定，並在幾座都會推出了現金付出。
Tuesday’s agreement is notable not only because of its scale — Alipay is China’s leading onlineand mobile payments service with 450m users — but also because Alibaba is an investor in DidiKuaidi, Uber’s biggest competitor in China, as well as its US rival Lyft.
周二殺青的這項協定之以是惹人註視，緣故原由不但在於其範圍——付出寶是中國頭號在線與挪動付出辦事平台，用戶數達4.5億——還在於阿裏巴巴是滴滴快的(DiDi Kuaidi)和Lyft的股東，而滴滴快的是優步在中國的最大競爭敵手，Lyft則是優步在美國的競爭敵手。
Under the payments agreement, Alipay will promote Uber in its app to Chinese users outside ofthe mainland, who will be able to call a car via the Alipay app. Alipay will take an undisclosed cutof the transaction, as it does with other businesses promoted within its app.
依據這項協定，付出寶將在其外洋版運用內向用戶推介優步，用戶將可以或許經由過程付出寶運用叫優步的車。付出寶將從生意業務額中抽成(比例未公然)，正如它對本身運用內推介的其他營業采用的做法同樣。
In China, the Alipay app will continue directing users to Didi, as it currently does.
在中國，付出寶運用將像今朝同樣，持續把用戶扶引給滴滴。
The tie-up could strengthen Uber’s hand as it contends with the global anti-Uber alliance —comprising Didi, Lyft, GrabTaxi and India-based Ola — to win the business of Chinese travellers.
在優步與環球反優步同盟(由滴滴、Lyft、GrabTaxi和印度Ola構成)反抗之際，此次互助可增強優步的氣力，以博得中國旅客的營業。
Uber already accept payments made via Alipay from passengers within China, under anagreement struck in 2014. Before Tuesday’s deal, Chinese passengers needed a foreigncurrency-denominated credit card in order to use Uber outside of China.
依據2014年殺青的一項協定，優步已接收中國境內搭客經由過程付出寶付出叫車用度。周二的協定殺青以前，中國搭客在境外須要外幣信譽卡能力應用優步的辦事。
