Alibaba-backed Alipay upgrades its system for payment safety 2018-08-23 11:54 GMT+8
Alipay customers who send money to wrong accounts will now be able to get their payments back thanks to an upgrade to the system , according to parent company Ant Financial Group . Security has also been enhanced with an anti - fraud system linked to police databases , enabling suspect payments to be tracked , while transfers can be delayed if the system detects a recipient ’s risky or anomalous behaviour . The moves bring Alipay into line with rival Tencent 's payment Wallet .
