Stocks of mobile payment related companies soared on Tuesday over speculation that Apple Inc will introduce its cash-free smartphone payment service to China this week.

Apple Pay, a new way of making purchases in retail stores that was developed by the United States smartphone maker, will boost the mobile payment business as local players like Xiaomi Corp and Alibaba Group Holding also roll out similar services.

The supposed launch date was leaked by the social media account of Guangzhou-based China Guangfa Bank on Tuesday. The bank said in a post on instant messaging app WeChat that Apple Pay will be available in the country by 5 am on Thursday.

The bank deleted the message hours later, without giving a reason.

Apple said in December that it will launch the wireless payment business in China — its biggest overseas market — partnering with the nation’s No 1 bank card association, China UnionPay.

China UnionPay told China Daily it will announce the launch time with Apple later; Apple did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment.

Fueled by the looming Apple Pay entry, shares of 30 Chinese companies that provide mobile payment technologies surged by an average of 6.69 percent on Tuesday, according to data from market tracker RoyalFlush Information.

Eastcompeace Technology Co, a Guangdong-based maker of mobile payment terminals, and Nantian Electronic Information, a payment platform developer, led the advance. Both companies hit the 10 percent increase ceiling early in the trading day.

Dating Telecom Technology Co, a mobile communications hardware maker, closed at 16.84 yuan ($2.56), a 6.11 percent jump from the day before.

Li Chao, a Beijing-based analyst from iResearch Consulting Group, said Apple Pay will help open up the Chinese smartphone payment market, where e-commerce giant Alibaba now controls the lion’s share.

It will be difficult for Apple Pay to challenge Alibaba’s payment services in the short run, but the availability of Apple Pay will certainly attract more people paying at the counters with smartphones instead of reaching for their wallet,” Li said.

Taking advantage of a chipset installed on the iPhone 6 and the later generation of the handsets, Apple Pay uses a technology called near-field communication to allow contactless data exchange between the smartphone and point of sale terminals. The transaction will be completed when users hold their devices near a POS portal.

Transaction volume on mobile payment platforms reached 2.4 trillion yuan by the third quarter of last year, a 64.3 percent increase year-on-year, said Beijing-based iResearch.
