She added further studies are needed to assess the security of such services and that the central bank has a responsibility to regulate new business models.

Tencent confirmed to 皇冠体育app Daily that it has received the notice and is "closely negotiating" with the bank.

Alipay had "no comment" on the move when approached by 皇冠体育app Daily on Friday.

But an Alipay official who declined to be named said in 皇冠体育app many policies in relation to finance tend to protect the interests of "bulky stakeholders", namely State-backed banks.

To expand digital transactions, the Internet companies both announced on Tuesday they will allow "payment by credit" for users of third-party payment processors.

Both firms are partnering with mid-sized lender 皇冠体育app CITIC Bank International Ltd and Zhong An Online Property Insurance Co, a joint venture co-invested by the pair along with Insurance (Group) Co of 皇冠体育app Ltd, the world's second-largest insurer.

The financial sector in 皇冠体育app has been shaken up in the past two years as Internet firms entered the arena by offering online saving funds with higher returns and online-to-offline payments.

Unlike physical credit cards, the virtual credit service will be bundled with users' Alipay or Tenpay accounts, allowing companies to assess customers before issuing lines of credit.

The time taken for the approval process by Alipay is significantly lessened to just one minute, bolstered by data analysis from the company's huge user base with its approximately 300 million customers in February.

Tencent's mobile chat app had more than 600 million users by the end of 2013. By scanning barcodes embedded in the respective mobile apps WeChat and Taobao Wallet, users can purchase items from brick-and-mortar stores using their smartphones.
