French Police Confirms The Death Of Terrorist Abdelhamid Abaaoud
French police have confirmed the death of Paris attack mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud after a 7 hour long gunfight at Saint Denis. So far 5 terrorists have been taken into custody. Previously authorities assumed that Abaaoud had fled to Syria right after the attack but the events of 19th November proved otherwise.
Abaaoud's body was riddled with bullets. A finger print match confirmed his identity. Had he been captured alive, important ISIS related information could be obtained hence it is not clear at this moment whether he was killed in the gunfight or committed suicide. The French police were on the lookout for ISIS operatives since the attack on 13/11 and tip-off led them to the apartment at Saint Denis where the terrorists were holed in.

Pres. Moon in dilemma amid Trump-Kim power game
South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who had promised to sit behind the steering wheels of the Korean Peninsula right after he took office, is in a dilemma because of the power game between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The South Korean president is "sandwiched" between the two heads of state. Trump flatly turned down the "good enough deal" that Moon suggested in Washington. Even worse, Kim asked Moon to promote inter-Korean economic cooperation saying, "Be a part of the process, not a mediator." Insiders and outsiders of Cheong Wa Dae also say, "It is the most difficult situation since the denuclearization talks began."
The KyungHyang Shinmun (http://english.khan.co.kr/)
President Moon, "Maintain Momentum in N.K.-U.S. Talks, Confidence in Outcomes of the Top-Down Approach"
President Moon Jae-in is currently visiting the United States, and on April 11 (local time), he began his second and last day in the U.S. by meeting a series of key officials concerning U.S. foreign and security policies, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, National Security Advisor John Bolton and Vice President Mike Pence.
Is Cheong Wa Dae "Moral and Humble" Now?
It's Destiny, the autobiography of former President Roh Moo-hyun, does not mention presidential appointments. The Participatory Government, which established a system for presidential appointments, had prepared a separate book of human resources, a compilation of vast data, before the end of its term. That record was later published in 2013 as the book, Presidential Appointments (written by Park Nam-choon), which was described as a "revolution in presidential appointments by the Participatory Government, from behind closed doors to the public square." The book showed that the "system" had top authority in appointing senior officials in the Participatory Government. President Roh only appointed his officials within the system. In each stage, from recommendation (senior secretary for personnel affairs) to verification (senior secretary for civil affairs) and nomination (personnel recommendation committee), a system of checks and improvement was thoroughly applied. In the recommendation stage, there was an advisory committee, which sought out and recommended experts from each field and region, and a verification advisory board including outside experts gave advise on the eligibility of the candidate for public office.

We got to speak with hiphop recording artist Brande Pa'trice a recording artist from Memphis Tennessee. Inspired by artist such as Nicki Minaj, Beyonce, and Michael Jackson.
From an early age Brande knew that she wanted to dedicate her life to both music and dance. At the age of four she started putting on shows in the backyard for family and friends. She learned quickly that she had a commanding presence on stage both at home and at school during special programs. By the time she entered high school, Brande expanded her talents by incorporating, vocal lessons, singing in choirs and training with others within her field.
After expanding her majorette talent at Hamilton High School in Memphis, Tennessee, she worked her way up the industry ladder diligently yet quickly by enhancing the underground scene with her stage presence by incorporating her resume of dance choreography and singing capabilities.
After graduating high school she auditioned for Texas Southern University Live and earned a business and majorette scholarship. Brande joined Texas Southern University "Ocean of Soul Marching Band". Finally she realized that college was not for her she drops out her freshman year and moved back to Memphis. She decided she wanted to give Houston a higher education another chance so she enrolled in Houston Community College.
We asked her what sets her apart from everyone else she said, "Brande Pa'trice is not only a brand but a movement. People are not only involved in the music, bu in the way of live my movement has created. Brande Pa'trice itself is developed on a stellar performance and existence. I create the music, the music composition, the visuals, the clothing and handle all business endeavors."
Her fan base called the 'Bee's' range from children age 10 years old all the way up to 65. "Having such a wide fan base allows me to not only spread my creativity, but nor be confined to a certain demographic. I get to sing and rap about everything from love to trap music."
Brande has done several live performances, but her favorite thus far is when she performed with a band at Super Bowl XXXVIII (38). She's done several runaway performances as well such as 'Blaze the Runway'. "I had the best performance that night and I bodied that event. It was my first performances after taking a two-year break. I gave it everything I had and more."
She dreams of a world tour and making a huge impact on the world. When it comes to sharing the spotlight her goals of artist and performers would be Yung Miami of the City Girls, MC Hammer, Michael Jackson (RIP) and Beyoncé.
When it comes to her music she's got a simple process which is writing the lyrics, recording both the music and the lyrics at the same time.
Brande admits she's had some ups and downs in her career. "As I progress as an artist I've learned that I need a team of people behind me and realized I can't do it all on my own. Doing everything myself has hindered my greatest potential. Thankfully, all of that is changing rapidly."
Her recommendations for aspiring artist is " Believe in yourself even when it's dark and all you hear are 'No's'. Try not to fall into depression from the lack of not having what you think you deserve. You are great, and it's only a matter of time before the world knows it."
Recently Brande performed at an event for Domestic Abuse Survivors, and she's gearing up to prepare a Holiday food drive. She'll be walking out within the city and feeding the homeless as she's unfortunately been in their shoes.
In 2016, She became homeless and had nothing but an iMac. Brande's life took a told for the worse depression and sickness became apart of her story. After Walking the freeway and going to a homeless shelter, Brande decided to move back to Memphis.
It's. GIVEN.
"I think of truth, and strength. It's a GIVEN tells the undeniable truth of what it really means to be a person or thing that has a God-given skill or talent that no man can take away. It's a GIVEN seals the stamp of perseverance and completeness. " – Brande Pa'trice

On a shopping trip a few weeks ago, I came across a Mambi sticker book and I instantly fell in love with all of the adorable stickers inside! The pack is called the Seasonal Pack and has a boat-load of stickers to use throughout the year!
I also found a washi tape pack with pretty floral colors and shiny silver foil and glitter! I have been wanting to add more silver washi and stickers to my collection since I have an insane amount of golds.
Home Decor
I started redecorating my living room last month and while I have yet to complete the room, I found some pretty pieces at insanely good prices! The first is my new area rug. I didn't want anything too big so I went for 4″x6″. It fits perfectly in between my sofas. It is so soft under my feet and well worth the $27 price tag on Amazon. I love the distressed farmhouse-style look to it.
I also snagged a great deal on an oversized clock to hang above my couch. I paid only $16 for this neutral farmhouse-inspired clock. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it considering it was on clearance, but it was worth the money and I'm beyond happy.
If you want to check out these pieces to see if they're still available for yourself, feel free to check out my Neutral Farmhouse Living Room Mood Board post for the links on where to shop.
Lovely Nails
I love the color pink and even though I switch up my nail colors often, my favorite color as of late is Pink Grapefruit from DCD. I also added a gold glitter accent nail for a little sparkle. I think it's a great summer color that's fun and versitile!
That's pretty much my list for May. What were your favorites from last month? Are you looking forward to trying anything in June? Let me know in the comments!

Many of you may not be too familiar with Blue Navi. That might also change when you discover that they previously went under the moniker Ayoshutduff, who has been a seasoned veteran of many Chiptunes = WIN releases. With this EP, titled 'Continue?', we have a three-track collection of music finished since his previous, hefty album late last October. Like many artists expanding their level of versatility, Blue Navi decided to experiment with styles out of their comfort zone, and in this case we've been given some synthwave that carries a serious mood about it. If you're looking for some solid music that isenjoyable both as active listening as much as background music, come see what this EP has to offer.
Starting off with 'Day to Remember', we're given an opening that has some textural changes before the lone snare underneath those synth chords finally has purpose; providing a measurable point to the rhythm section. The closed hi-hat shuffle is well-layered with the DMG noise channel to provide what feels to the ear is a bit of reverb, and those not listening closely may not have noticed the difference until every 4th beat has a stuttering pitch slide only natural to a DMG's noise channel. With the chords providing the ambiance, the melody gives us an exposition through a stoic but determined mood, as if the "day to remember" was one of less positive remarks.
Once we hit 'Red Maverick', suddenly the chiptune incorporation becomes clearer as you hear the combination of a very lively NOI rhythm section with a solid WAV channel bass line. The chords that come in give a repetitive, energetic feeling reminiscent of the Mega Man X series. A driven, rock-or-funk-like, four-on-the-floor rhythm with lush chords and padding to help create an atmosphere that really drives whatever it is set to. Then, just enough of a melody kicks in to help keep your attention from being completely sucked into just one part of the composition until the next part brings you back in all over again.
If 'Day to Remember' was about re-living a past struggle, 'Replicator' would be about facing (or re-facing) the cause of that struggle. The immediate tension in the chords over that helicopter bass line and the return of the melodic exposition layered on top (brought to you by pulse channels from a DMG,) bring out its own theme that alongside the title of 'Replicator' flesh out an imaginative story. Considering this track's name and its many synthwave-inspired elements, I can only imagine some sort of bleak montage of the Terminator's relentless pursuit of Sarah Connor as this plays. With the way this track sounds as if its the progressive variant of its inspired genre, I feel like I should have expected the track to go longer, but it fades out to the end of this EP just in time to leave you hanging.
Hanging, or in this case just anticipating, would be the better word to describe what I feel as I await to hear what comes from Blue Navi next. What's funny is that I went into this completely blind of this rebranding. I didn't know what to expect, nevermind that Blue Navi was an alias change. What I did get, though, was an EP I certainly appreciated the level of effort put into just as much as I enjoyed listening to it. You can pick up 'Continue?' at Blue Navi's bandcamp to add to your collection today.

They've barely put their bags down from their epic tour of Australia and the South Pacific, Prince Harry and Princess Meghan are preparing to pack up again – this time, to move house!
Kensington Palace confirmed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be relocating from their current digs in London to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor. So why the sudden move? Well for a start, it's considerably larger than Nottingham Cottage, the two-bedroom home within the grounds of Kensington Palace where they currently live.
Room to grow
The Georgian "cottage" is currently split into five separate apartments used for staff accommodation but will be converted back to a family home, with 10 bedrooms and enough space for a gym and a yoga studio, before they move in. "Windsor is a very special place for their Royal Highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate," an official statement read. Windsor is of course where the couple tied the knot earlier this year, and Frogmore House, the larger more formal home near Frogmore Cottage, is where they celebrated their private wedding party. The surrounding gardens were also where the couple posed for their official engagement photos. Once renovations are completed, the couple is set to move in early 2019 allowing plenty of time to nest before the arrival of their first child sometime in the Northern hemisphere spring. The news put an end to rumours they might move next door to William and Catherine, into number one, Kensington Palace, a 20-room apartment.
A private escape
It will be a significant change of pace from Kensington which is only 3 km from the centre of London, to Windsor in Berkshire, about 40 minutes away. Spanning 35 acres, Windsor Castle Home Estate where Frogmore Cottage is located has been something of a retreat, offering privacy away from the public and paparazzi. The Queen prefers to spend her weekends at Windsor. While no further details were released UK press speculates Frogmore Cottage was most likely a gift from the Queen.
Steeped in history
Frogmore Cottage is a grade II listed heritage building originally built in 1790 by Queen Charlotte overlooking the more formal home, Frogmore House. The gardens feature a pond and extensive manicured gardens, as well as the mausoleum where Queen Victoria and Prince Albert are buried.

The Kumbh Mela incorporates the balancing forces of chaos and peace, of crazy and the divine, of love and togetherness. This mela is a junction of religion, spirituality, art and the power of humanity which graces the bustling city of Prayagraj four times every twelve years. Millions of devotees swarm the city of Prayagraj to wash away their sins and be blessed by the divine spirit of the gods during the Kumbh Mela.
It is truly an experience of a lifetime and a massive undertaking for those responsible for the safety and well being of the devotees. According to medieval Hinduism, Lord Vishnu spilled drops of Amrita (the drink of immortality) at four places, while transporting it in a Kumbha (pot). These four places are identified as the present-day sites of the Kumbh Mela. The name "Kumbh Mela" literally means "Kumbha Fair".
Haridwar (river Ganga), Prayag (Triveni Sangam of Yamuna, Ganga and Saraswati), Ujjain (river Kshipra), and Nasik (river Godavari) are the sites of Kumbh Mela which receive devotees, sadhus, foreigners and travelers of all age groups with a wish to wash away what is undesirable and welcome new happiness to their lives. The Nagas (Naked Sadhus), The Urdhawavahurs (who expose their body to extreme austerities) and the Kalpwasis (the ones who bathe three times a day) along with massive and beautiful rituals that take place during this mela are some of the many things that attract people from all parts of the globe to this unification of man and spirit.
Besides their religious significance, historically the Kumbh Melas were also major commercial events. The 2019 Kumbh Mela has also come as a boon for local artists and musicians as their devotional music is being explored by thousands. Folk singer Malini Awasthi's song, 'Chlao, Chalein, Kumbh Chalein', has been one of the hits online. It recorded thousands of hits on the video-sharing platform, YouTube, within hours of its release on January 14, 2019. The song covers every minute aspect of Kumbh.
With a budget of nearly Rs 4,200 crore, the government has left no stones unturned to ensure that the experience of Kumbh Mela complements its sanctity. With accommodations according to your need of luxury to focus on hygiene and sanitation, this year's Kumbh Mela is truly different and better. Unlike previous Kumbh Melas, special attention has been given to sanitation and hygiene. So much so, that nearly Rs 350 crore from the Rs 4200 crore budget was put aside just for sanitation.
To make Kumbh 2019 an event of unparalleled grandeur, the Government of Uttar Pradesh has undertaken multiple measures for ensuring the efficient running of the Mela. Unprecedented sustainable construction work is being done. Construction of flyovers, railway under bridges, road widening in the city and beautification of major intersections are few highlights of the massive construction and upgradation tasks being undertaken to make Prayagraj ready for Kumbh 2019.
Prayagraj is well-connected thanks to the network of Indian railways and if you're planning to experience the great undertaking known as the Kumbh Mela, then you won't have any problems getting there. The most auspicious bathing dates are 2019 January 15, 21 and February 4, 10 and 19. The Kumbh Mela is a jewel which represents the diversity and unity of the Hindu culture. No matter your background, there is something for everyone in this great gathering of loyal devotees.
Start your 2019 on a positive and blessing filled note!

Chubb offers some of the highest limits of liability protection available.
Condo & Co-Op Insurance
There's no place like home. Whether yours is a condo or co-op, it's a major investment. Condo insurance helps protect that investment. But there's more to it than that.
Fine Art & Jewelry Policies
While typical homeowners' policies are designed to protect your home and what's inside, there is usually limited coverage for valuable possessions that may get lost, stolen, or damaged. That's why with Chubb's Masterpiece coverage, you can protect the special possessions that matter to you.
Cyber Protection
Every day, we take steps to protect ourselves and our families from the unexpected. And when it comes to insurance, we often focus on our home and cars. But it can be just as important to protect yourself from what can come through your Wi-Fi.
Recreational Marine
Whether you own a runabout, sailboat, or yacht, we know as you cruise across open water, you're where you belong. Being on the water is an experience of peace, of calm, and of new adventures on the horizon. It's an experience you want to protect.
Passport 360 – Comprehensive coverage and services for your travel security needs, all in one plan.
From travel emergencies to travel conveniences, Passport 360 combines a host of features into one package. It offers two plan levels, Essential and Enhanced, as well as optional upgrades such as a golf package and a trip cancellation/trip interruption & event ticket cancellation coverage.

WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J. April 13, 2020- Chubb is providing its personal auto insurance clients in the U.S. with a credit on annual renewal premiums as a result of reduced driving activity.
Upon renewal, clients will receive a credit reflecting a 35% premium reduction for the months of April and May, with additional discounts for subsequent months, as the situation warrants. Across Chubb's portfolio, the average credit is expected to be $110 per vehicle. Clients will not have to request the credit, it will be applied automatically at renewal. All premium and rate adjustments are subject to regulatory approval.
"In these rapidly changing times, we have been thinking about our clients and the challenges they are facing. We recognize that there has been a reduction in our clients' driving activity as a result of this pandemic," said Fran O'Brien, Division President, North America Personal Risk Services. "This credit reflects our commitment to providing a fair premium adjustment to our clients, while ensuring they continue to receive Chubb's best-in-class auto coverage."
Chubb exceeds expectations with a seamless experience
When a cracked pipe leaked in Rich's shower, Chubb exceeded his expectations. Within 24 hours, Rich heard from a Chubb adjuster to begin repairs. Not only did the Chubb adjuster say "yes" to the repair estimate, no hassle or questions asked, but he focused the conversation on other ways that Chubb could help ease their stress. And just a few days later, long before the repairs were even completed, Rich had a check in his hands. For Rich, being a Chubb client meant a seamless experience from an insurer that went above and beyond to put his needs first.

Trauma Insurance
Also called Critical Illness or Recovery Money
Pays a lump sum in the event of a traumatic event happening to you, for example you suffer a stroke, heart attack, major burns or are diagnosed with certain cancers through to traumatic events such as the loss of a child.
This insurance came about due to advances in modern medicines and its ability to cure and prolong the lives of those who suffer a traumatic event.
Due to these advances it was found there were many people who were suffering a traumatic event which in previous years would have resulted in a payout of their Death, TPD or Income Protection but due to modern medicines new abilities these payouts were not being triggered but the insured was still left with medical bills and other costs which put them under financial strain, thus the insurance industry came up with Trauma Insurance.
Using a real life example, a healthy person was on a treadmill at the gym when he suffered a heart attack. He was taken to hospital but was back at work in 6 weeks. Due to the fact that he was not disabled he could not claim on his TPD insurance, he had not died so there was no life cover payment and he was not off work long enough to see out the waiting period on his Income Protection, but he still had bills to be paid, luckily he had trauma insurance which paid him a lump sum.
You can also tailor Trauma insurance to include cover for TPD and Death. In some instances the premiums on Trauma can actually be cheaper when including Death cover, rather than just having Trauma insurance by itself.
The types of premiums structure
Stepped Premium – As you age, the risk of something happening to you increases, stepped premiums increase each year to reflect this.
Level Premium – Start out more expensive in most cases, but have already had your future risks factored in to them. In the long run they are often a less expensive option. We often recommend a level premium, due to the fact that the later years of your life are the times that you will need the insurance the most. At this stage of your life, you may also be questioning the cost of a stepped premium, and wondering whether it is worth holding the insurance.
The most important thing is getting the insurance policy in place. You may choose to change aspects of your policy at a later stage.
Are You Adequately Covered?
Did you know the following facts:
For every home lost through fire, there are 4 homes lost through death AND 48 homes lost through disablement.
Of working age Australians 25,870 will die and 4-5 times more will suffer a dreaded disease, every year
36,750 will die of cancer and 261,402 will be diagnosed with cancer.
1 in 2 Australians will suffer a critical illness during their lives.
4 out of 5 disabilities are due to illness
For every person killed on Australian roads 26 are injured in automobile accidents.
Of the accidents which result in people aged 25-64 being injured, more than 52% of them happen away from work.
One third of Australian workers will be disabled from working for at least 3 months before the age of 65.

LINE Pay's Ko: "We aim to be part of a world's leading smart portal"
By Chris Kapfer
LINE Pay has been aggressively expanding locations and merchants that revolve around users' lifestyle such as convenient stores, shopping malls and transport operators
- Getting into the payments business is part of a bigger plan to get into financial services
- May reach the 50 million registered payment users by end 2018 and become the number one payments service in Taiwan
- LINE Pay may succeed where Chinese messaging and payment platforms fail to date – building successful payments platforms outside of their home market.
LINE Pay, one of the leading payments platforms in Japan, Taiwan and Thailand, is becoming increasingly the crucial nod to interconnect LINE's entire future financial services content such as insurances, asset management and eventually remittances and deposit business.
LINE also wanted to connect the messaging's app's large user base to a broader ecosystem and payments was a critical point in this effort.
"LINE Pay is one of our important strategic businesses in LINE's aim to become the world's leading "smart portal"– a one-stop mobile platform that enables people to connect seamlessly to all the information, services, products and people in their lives, said CEO of LINE Pay Corporation, Youngsu Ko.
As of November 2017 it had a total of 40 million registered payment users across Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and Indonesia. LINE has not disclosed yet any updates to this number nor the portion which is active but the total registered payments base may be approaching the 50 million user mark as of end 2018 primarily driven by its efforts in Japan.

The company added an estimated one million registered users per months to its payments platform between January 2015 and December 2018, earning a five star in our global digital user growth ranking.
LINE is stepping up its investment into its payments business in an effort to boost engagement of all the other apps in its ecosystem. According to a recent filing with the financial regulators in Japan, the company plans to invest $182 million to develop its fintech businesses.
According to Ko, LINE Pay enhances LINE's overall business ecosystem by completing the Last Mile of any transaction, be it a person-to-merchant online or offline purchasing, or a person-to-person payment that links back to the core of the social messaging of LINE.
"Users on messengers can easily use financial services that are linked to the messenger app directly and this is having a positive impact to both platforms. Merchants for LINE Pay can utilise the user base for LINE Messenger platform and can enjoy network effect among the users in advertising and bringing in customers – which is a win-win for LINE and merchants."
This attention was not always the case. The merchant side in its core market Japan that could accept LINE Pay has often been regarded as a key bottleneck to increase users and transactions.
Much of it was related to how LINE Pay evolved and learned to operate across its markets in Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and Indonesia.
Paying attention to user and merchants in the payments business
"In 2014 and 2015 we were preparing the payment service and building the infrastructure in Japan, Taiwan and Thailand. In 2016 we were preparing the co-sponsored card with JCB in Japan to combine offline payment which was a basis for creating an important merchant network. Up to 2017, our sticker and content driven business had transitioned into an advertising business. At the same time we realised that acquiring users but also acquiring more merchants is critical. So in 2018 when we were focused on building our merchant network."
"We learnt that user payment service alone was not enough. We needed to market, create interfaces and create a strategy that would be beneficial for customers to use us."
2018 was LINE Pay's most critical year in building scale in merchant adoption. It has been taking merchants concerns much more seriously than in the past where the focus was on end user payments. "We want to provide a user experience not only to the retail customers but also to the store managers and owners and employees."
LINE Pay has been aggressively expanding locations and merchants that revolve around users' lifestyle such as convenient stores, shopping malls and transport operators
Previously mostly accepted via QR code, the QUICPay partnership based on NFC settlement, allowed LINE Pay to add more than 720,000 merchant locations bringing total merchant acceptance to 1.33 million. LINE Pay handles all digital settlements including QR/barcode, NFC and card.
Asides from the JCB co-branded debit card , Line Pay is addressing the issue with users having limited cash lines on their prepaid LINE Pay Card by announcing in January 2019 the partnership with Visa to introduce co-brand credit card, which will enable users to tap into their existing credit line without needing to top up the balance of their LINE Pay Wallet.
"The reason why we started and continuously focus on plastic cards is that it was the payment method that or existing customers understood the best and thought it was the easiest to use. Given that user experience is critical and the foundation to our company we believe that our payment service should gradually change, it can't happen too quickly."
For Ko, however, the most challenging part is not acquiring more users but acquiring more merchants. "From our Japan business, we understood that merchants have difficulties in training their employees, how to use the new services, and that payments took up to months to come into their account. So we listened to those pain points."
LINE Pay offers different solutions based on the size and sector of that merchant. "For SMEs, we have our own LINE Pay reader in the app (Merchant App) that does not charge transaction fee for three years from August 2018 and we offer LINE Pay original device. Merchants can download the app free and can conduct a merchant review within the app. We also will be creating in the future a service where a merchant designates a date for payment and money can transfer to the merchant's account next day," he added.
On the other hand, LINE Pay aims to boost payments usage by incentive programs or campaigns which encourage messenger users to use LINE Pay as mobile payment and utilise the network effect of the messenger. Currently out of the more than 164 million active user base of the LINE messaging app, approx. 73% do not use LINE Pay according to Asian Banker Research.
"One of the campaign cases is the '10Yen Ping-Pong', a campaign that was designed to raise awareness on the convenience of sending money through LINE Pay. Just after 18 days of campaign launch in June 2018 in Japan, the number of transfers amounted to 460,000 and after the campaign, active users in Japan increased by 270%."
Currently, users gain LINE Points for their spending, in combination with "My Level," a tiered incentive program offering bigger benefits for the most active LINE Pay users, offering up to 3% additional reward for code settlements.
The rise in global transaction volume
"We have increased organically LINE Pay users annually between 5-10% but we need to reinforce our efforts in converting the rest of the 70% of LINE messaging app users. Rather than increasing the number of transactions, our priority in 2019 will be increasing our monthly active payment users," explained Ko.
Ko believes the way to do that is creating a critical brand image that LINE Pay can be trusted in the transaction business, increasing merchant adoption and areas where LINE pay can be used by showing that it is in the user interest to use its payment service.
Efforts are starting to pay off towards the second half of 2018

Overseas Operations
LINE's success outside its home market is based on keen insights into their local markets, where local management teams take the initiative to create diverse interfaces and user experiences. Taiwan has become after Japan, LINE Pay's most successful market.
Ko believes its critical to find the right user needs and then couple it with the relevant services. "While others just put out the services we are very good in identifying the right pain points."
Taiwan is LINE Pay's most successful messaging app and payments market outside Japan. According to Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC), LINE Pay, which launched its electronic payment service in September 2018, has become the number one payments service ranked first in terms of users followed by AllPay, Jkopay and Apple Pay. LINE Pay had 5 million registered users as of January 2019.
LINE Pay launched a red envelop campaign during the first month of launch, triggering seven million transaction counts, with a total transaction amount of over $18million.
"We knew that Taiwanese consumers use frequently their credit cards and also like reward points in their credit card usage. So we created a co-branded card with CTBC Bank where users were notified what kind of transactions they conducted and also received a 3% LINE Points rebate for the first year when the card was launched. It became the most issued co-branded card in Taiwan in 2018. We are now transitioning into e-cash and cross-border remittances," said Ko.
In Thailand, where LINE messaging app is used by 95% of smartphone users, Rabbit LINE Pay is in a race with True Money to dominate the e-wallet space. Rabbit LINE Pay had five million registered users as of October 2018, compared to 15 million registered True Money e-Wallet users as of July 2018.
Because people had to wait in long queues to get their tickets in the subway system, Ko said, we provided a mobile service where they could buy them on the app. Within three months we already covered about 10% of the people using the transport system.
At the same time, LINE Pay introduced a new service in October 2018 where subscribers can begin to top-up their Rabbit LINE Pay account balances at BTS skytrain stations in Thailand
It remains to be seen how fast Rabbit LINE Pay can tap into the user based of a capital alliance it entered in Nov 2018 with Thailand's largest telecommunications carrier, Advanced Info Service AIS , Thailand s largest telecom operator with more than 40 million subscribers, through its subsidiary, "Advanced mPay".
In Indonesia, LINE Pay's fate still hangs in the balance. It is not only the company's smallest overseas market with an estimated 2-3 million registered payment users but also faces a declining user based of LINE's messaging app. Between Q22017 and Q22018 monthly active user base shrunk from 38 million to 24 million, according to LINE' second half 2018 earnings presentation.
Those challenges are compounded by facing a much more cash heavy payments market, and mobile payment players have to provide also costly discount programs to be able to attract users. The company is focused on delivering digital banking service along with its partner Bank KEB Hana Indonesia.
The making of a regional platform
While LINE Pay operates its service independently within each country, it increasingly aims to make them interoperable and more accessible.
"Our strategic partnership with Tencent will enable WeChat Pay users visiting Japan to make payments using QR codes at LINE Pay merchants and their locations in early 2019. Furthermore, LINE Pay in Japan will connect with its networks in Taiwan, Thailand, and Indonesia, so that tourists can use their local LINE Pay app to make payments in Japan. In Korea, we partner with NAVER, to enable 24 million Naver Pay users to make cashless payments in Japan within 2019."
LINE Pay as part of a bigger playbook
For LINE, getting into the payments business is part of a bigger plan to get into financial services. Across its countries of operations, LINE has been preparing financial services with insurance and asset management companies, releasing LINE Invest and LINE Insurance in the second half of 2018. It also plans to launch a digital bank with local commercial banks across their markets (see fig 2).

In the past, our investment went into the user base and making payment service available, Ko said, and we have started from the second half of last year to connect financial content with our payments and messaging platform.
"We launched LINE Insurance in October 2018 in Japan with Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Insurance. Since its launch we were able to get more than 4.6 million followers on our LINE Insurance Official Account in just 3 weeks," Ko added.
Likewise, digital platforms have become much more effective alternatives in transferring money across borders. Ko said LINE will eventually also offer cross border remittance and deposit based services via its upcoming 'LINE Bank'.
LINE Pay may succeed where Chinese messaging and payment platforms fail to date
LINE Pay's business strategy is currently focused on building up the payment infrastructure and ecosystem and expects only to monetise the overall financial business after 2020, based on financial content services built on top of the payment platform which is already shaping up. It has a dominant market position in Japan and Taiwan. Efforts in Japan, in particular, were paying off driving it strong global transaction value growth in 2018. With the firepower of $180 million spending budget for the next years, LINE Pay needs to show to investors that it can fend off the aggressive regional expansion of Chinese payments players, able to convert a bigger portion of LINE messaging app users into payment users, grow its overall payment user base at the same breakneck pace compared to the period between 2015 and 2018 and overcome the challenges it faces in Indonesia and partially Thailand. With a nose for local market needs, Line Pay may succeed where Chinese messaging and payment platforms have struggled to date – building successful payments businesses outside their home market.
