LG電子宣佈開發自家移動支付系統LG Pay

Nov 19 LG Electronics Inc said on Thursday it signed an agreement to develop its own mobile payment service called LG Pay.

LG電子在11月19日表示已簽署一份協議，將研發自己的移動支付服務系統，名爲“LG Pay”。

LG, which signed the agreement with South Korea's largest and second-largest credit Card firms Shinhan Card Co Ltd and KB Kookmin Card Co Ltd, did not give a timetable or description of its planned technology.

LG電子與韓國前兩大信用卡公司Shinhan Card與KBKookmin Card簽訂協議，不過並未就計劃中的這項技術提供時間表或描述。

The mobile payment market is getting crowded as smartphone makers like Apple and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd have launched their own mobile payment services.

由於蘋果與三星電子業已推出他們的移動支付服務，移動支付市場已漸趨擁擠。

LG Electronics' mobile payment system will be able to be used in all LG smartphones, unlike Samsung Pay which is available only in the recent Samsung smartphone models, South Korean wire service Yonhap reported on Thursday, without citing a specific source.

根據韓國聯合通訊社週四報導，只要是LG電子的智能手機，就能使用LG的移動支付系統；這與三星電子的“Samsung Pay”不同，三星的移動支付只適用於自家新近推出的智能手機。不過報導並未點明消息來源。

An LG spokesman declined to comment on the report.

LG電子發言人對此項報道拒絕做出評論。
