The company says it was founded in 2009 and describes itself as a global payments and financial platform serving businesses. Its mission is “Connect the world, serve globally,” and its stated vision is to build trusted global intelligent financial infrastructure.

The platform is designed for companies operating across borders, including cross-border e-commerce sellers, B2B importers and exporters, digital entertainment businesses, international logistics providers, travel businesses, and offline retail platforms. Its core services cover receiving payments, making payments, acquiring, foreign exchange, virtual cards, and aggregated payments.

The company says its services reach more than 200 countries and regions, support settlement in more than 140 currencies, connect to more than 180 e-commerce platforms, and serve more than 13.3 million customers.

The website also describes adjacent services such as store-launch support, export tax-refund services, sourcing, and financing. Its offer is positioned around global reach, regulatory permissions, localised payment capabilities, and operational efficiency for businesses trading internationally. Lianlian DigiTech says it holds 68 payment licences and qualifications and a Hong Kong VATP licence; it also highlights its AI-native strategy and the integration of AI into payment, compliance, fund management, and enterprise services. LianLian Global is part of Lianlian DigiTech rather than a separately identified listed company. The parent company says that it has branches in 13 countries and regions and continues to develop local operations. Its corporate site describes a presence across North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. The supplied materials do not specify a headquarters for the LianLian Global brand or name its founder, so those details are not stated here.
History
LianLian Global is the international-facing brand associated with Lianlian DigiTech’s cross-border payments and business financial services. The company’s official introduction says Lianlian DigiTech was founded in 2009 and entered the third-party payments business after receiving a payment business licence from the People’s Bank of China. The supplied corporate history also describes the launch of merchant mobile-payment services and the company’s early entry into cross-border e-commerce payments, followed by the introduction of mobile payment solutions for particular industries. The company subsequently developed its cross-border business and overseas presence. Its published milestones include setting up its first overseas office in Hong Kong and later operating a cross-border business centre there under a money service operator licence. The materials also describe expansion into the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Brazil, and the establishment of operations in additional markets. The company says it now has branches in 13 countries and regions and serves business customers across more than 200 countries and regions. A notable institutional development was the formation of LianTong (Hangzhou) Technology Services Co., Ltd. through a joint venture agreement with an affiliate of American Express. The official introduction says LianTong received a bank-card clearing business licence from the People’s Bank of China in 2020, becoming China’s first Sino-foreign joint-venture bank-card clearing institution. Lianlian DigiTech also describes cooperation with Zhejiang University to establish a technology research institute focused on applying advanced technology to payment services. The company has expanded its regulatory coverage and product capabilities over time. Its official materials refer to payment licences and qualifications in multiple jurisdictions, including a US money-transmitter licence covering all US states, a Singapore major payment institution licence, and a Luxembourg electronic-money institution licence. The company also says a wholly owned subsidiary, DFX Labs Company Limited, received a Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission VATP licence. These permissions support a service portfolio that includes cross-border collection and payouts, acquiring, foreign exchange, virtual cards, and related business-finance services. Lianlian DigiTech was listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2024 under code 2598.HK. In its current corporate description, the group presents an “AI-native and globalisation” strategy and says it is applying AI to payment, compliance, fund management, and enterprise services.
