The strategic partnership between Peak and ShopEx calls for an API link between the ShopEx platform and Peak's Lending Hub platform that will allow data from online stores managed with the ShopEx applications to flow to the Lending Hub and help qualify the stores for loans and credit from the Hub's banks and financial institution lending partners. The parties will engage in joint marketing efforts and become authorized resellers of one another's products and services and earn referral fees from one another.

"I can't stress enough how important this partnership is for us," commented Peak China CEO Liang Qiu. "With the continued proliferation of online stores, how social media platforms are changing retail buying habits, and the dramatic impact the pandemic has had fueling on-line purchasing, the online retail space has been a very important area of focus for us. We began reaching out to marketplace operators one by one to gain a foothold in the space, but that was until we had an opportunity to talk with ShopEx. This partnership provides access to shops operating on 28 marketplaces and social media platforms without having to negotiate separate partnerships with all of them. We believe this will undoubtedly dramatically accelerate our influence in the online retail space, which makes this new relationship with ShopEx an extremely valuable one for Peak," concluded Mr. Qiu.

"We think the financing services provided by the Lending Hub perfectly complement our offering to merchants," said ShopEx Executive VP and Co-Founder Sanyong Ji. "Not only do we provide them with everything they need to create, market and manage their online stores, now we'll also be able to help them get the funding they need to run their operations. We couldn't be more excited about this partnership and look forward to working with Peak for the mutual benefit of our organizations."
