Global Payments and Planet Payment plan to offer a dynamic currency service - Pay in Your Currency to HSBC merchants in China prior to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The service gives the consumer the opportunity to have the payment transaction converted to their selected currency, providing the benefit of immediately knowing the payment amount.

Through its joint venture with HSBC, Global Payments has established a leading position in the Asia-Pacific region, where it now operates in ten countries and territories. Global Payments, through its local affiliate, will provide consulting and technical services to HSBC as necessary to support the service in China.
