The smart omni-channel technologies of 2C2P, their focus on mobile payments, local integration across multiple payment types and the company’s management are some of the reasons for deciding to develop this partnership with 2C2P. Asia Pacific continues to be a key focus area for SafeCharge and is a central part of management’s long term strategic vision.
