According to the industrial and commercial data, the shareholder of Wanshi Networked Information Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. is MasterCard Asia Pacific Private Limited. Ltd., Netlink Technology Co., Ltd. and MasterCard International Co., Ltd. hold 50%, 49% and 65,438+0% respectively.
It is understood that Netlink Technology Co., Ltd. is owned by Netlink Clearing Co., Ltd. 100%.
Earlier, it was reported that MasterCard would hold 565,438+0% of the shares, and Netlink would hold 49%. However, it is also reported that the two sides each hold 50% shares. At that time, the details of the cooperation between the two parties have yet to be finally announced, and the two parties may re-establish the joint venture company by setting up a separate subsidiary.
654381October 25th, according to the 20th Century Business Herald, MasterCard said that it is conducting in-depth and extensive discussions on various feasible ways to apply for bank card clearing permission, and it is expected that a brand-new application will be submitted to the People's Bank of China in the near future.
According to the information disclosed by the relevant person in charge of the payment and settlement department of the People's Bank of China in an interview with the media not long ago, MasterCard submitted the application materials for bank card clearing permission in 20 17, but voluntarily withdrew it in June 20 18. At that time, MasterCard said that it would resubmit its application for bank card clearing business in China.
According to public information, MasterCard has established a joint venture company in China. Up to now, industrial and commercial information shows that Wanlian Information Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. was established on 20 1 71with a registered capital of1billion yuan, of which MasterCard is the single largest shareholder, and other shareholders include Unicom Payment Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Zhao Rong Investment Holding Co., Ltd. and Beijing Ju Ran Hongye Investment Co., Ltd. ..
Chang Qing, president of MasterCard China, is the general manager of Wanlian Company, Ling Hai, co-president of MasterCard Asia Pacific, is the director of Wanlian Company, and Hong, chairman of China Merchants Financial Group, is the chairman of Wanlian Company.
From this point of view, the main company that MasterCard submitted to the People's Bank of China for a bank card clearing license is probably Wanlian Company.
Back to the new company established by MasterCard and Netlink, if it cooperates with Netlink, the application plan for MasterCard to cooperate with China Merchants and China Unicom to pay the clearing license will basically fail.
On October 22nd this year, MasterCard was fined 570 million euros (about 4.4 billion RMB) by the European Commission. The reason is that MasterCard has long prevented its special merchants in the European Union from looking for cheaper acquirers outside China, thus "preventing merchants from choosing and artificially raising the payment cost of bank cards".
