据彭博社北京时间5月9日报道，中国“移动支付之王”支付宝想要在美国这个全球最大消费者市场分得一杯羹。
支付宝与支付服务公司First Data Corp在周一发布联合声明称，双方已达成一项合作，用户可以在First Data服务的400万个美国商户内使用支付宝购物。这一部署将从使用First Data旗下Clover产品的企业开始。
“这为支付宝在美国变得无处不在开启了一扇大门，希望支付宝能够在日后进军更多国家，”支付宝北美总裁苏海尔·巴德朗(Souheil Badran)表示，“在美国，我们并没有选择尝试单干，我们希望在这个生态系统里找到能够提供规模化的合作伙伴。”
从商户的支持度上看，与First Data的合作将使得支付宝与苹果公司的Apple Pay处于同一水平上。苹果CEO蒂姆·库克(Tim Cook)上周在电话会议上表示，Apple Pay可以在美国450万个场所使用。
支付宝和腾讯控股的微信支付主导着中国移动支付市场，总市场份额达到90%。支付宝想要抓住数百万中国消费者出境旅游的机遇，在旅游目的地为他们提供支付服务。支付宝钱包可以绑定美国运通、Visa以及万事达卡的信用卡，已经得到70个国际市场的逾10万家零售商的支持。
不过，美国消费者对于移动支付的依赖度远远低于中国。艾瑞咨询的数据显示，去年中国移动支付交易额突破了人民币38万亿元(约合5.5万亿美元)，是前一年的三倍。相比之下，市场研究公司Forrester Research的数据显示，去年美国移动支付交易额只有1120亿美元。(编译/箫雨)
