benefit from enhanced operational efficiency and improved customer experiences.

Kiki Zhou, Public Relations Manager at HEYTEA said, "In today's digital world,
we find it essential to incorporate technology in our operations and keep pace
with customers' preferences and expectations. In cooperation with Wirecard, we

order and pay for their drinks in a quick and seamless manner. We're delighted
to partner with Wirecard as we continue to expand our brand across Asia."

for both customers and the retailer. We look forward to deepening our
partnership with HEYTEA."
