Digital payments processing company Stripe is expanding into Hong Kong and has struck deals with WeChat Pay and Alipay, which combined account for 92% of digital payments in China.

Why it matters: Founded by brothers Patrick and John Collision, Stripe already powers many digital transactions globally, but entering China gives it access to a large and growing market that is already doing a ton of digital transactions. And partnering with Chinese companies is a key to cracking that market.
