This slideshare is the culmination of research done at Tsinghua University PBC School of Finance during my MBA. The project focuses on the disruption that online mobile banking and payment platforms are causing to the banking industry in China. Innovations combining social media such as Wechat and payment platforms such as Alipay have dynamically changed the financial environment across the country. In China where smartphone mobile penetration is high and trust of such third party payment sites is strong, Ecommerce and Mcommerce have exploded.
