资料：2014 has been a landmark year for Alibaba. Just last week, the Chinese e-commerce juggernaut set a world-record selling US$9.3 Billion worth of goods in 24 hours on Singles Day. A few months back, Alibaba claimed the title of the world's biggest IPO, raising US$25 Billion on the NYSE. Things will only get bigger for Alibaba.

On the back of the historic signing of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement yesterday, Alibaba announced in Melbourne their continued commitment to bringing Australian products, brands and businesses closer to China's online consumers via it's Alipay payment platform and Taobao Marketplace.

Alipay is the largest online payment service provider in China. With more than 800 million Chinese accounts, Alipay is already the biggest mobile payment processor in the world. It clears 80 million transactions per day, including 45 million transactions through it's Alipay Wallet mobile app and processed US$780 billion worth of transactions in the year ended June 30. Alipay is one of six financial services entities that will fall under the umbrella of Ant Financial Serviced Group, a rebranding of Alipay Financial Services. There are plans to take this money making machine public too.

Alipay Australia has been established as a local entity that will work with its joint venture partner, pay bang to help Australian businesses and merchants access Alipay's cross-border payment solutions. Alipay has also been working with Australia Post to sell, distribute and promote the Alipay Purchase Card across 4,400 retail outlets for Australian shoppers to use on the Tmall.com and Taobao Marketplace platforms.

Alipay's extension into Australia, follows its move into the U.S with the launch of its ePay payment program, which handles everything from payment processing and currency translation for U.S. retailers.

A few months back, Alibaba claimed the title of the world’s biggest IPO, raising US$25 Billion on the NYSE. 就在上周，这家中国电子商务巨头在光棍节的24小时内创造了价值93亿美元的世界纪录。几个月前，阿里巴巴成为了世界上最大的IPO，在纽交所筹集了250亿美元。

倒数第2自然段 Alipay has also been working with Australia Post to sell, distribute and promote the Alipay Purchase Card across 4,400 retail outlets for Australian shoppers to use on the Tmall.com and Taobao Marketplace platforms. 支付宝也一直在与澳大利亚邮政合作，在4400个零售点销售、分销和推广支付宝的购物卡，供澳大利亚购物者在天猫网和淘宝平台上使用。

最后一个自然段 Alipay’s extension into Australia, follows its move into the U.S with the launch of its ePay payment program, which handles everything from payment processing and currency translation for U.S. retailers. 支付宝业务扩展到澳大利亚，在此之前，支付宝在美国推出了ePay付款程序，负责处理美国零售商的付款处理和货币转换。
