BEIJING: Alipay said it has partnered with four more financial services providers in Europe, as it looks to tap into Chinese consumers travelling abroad, in a move that could help China's top online payments platform expand its global footprint nearly tenfold. 

The company has formed partnerships with Barclays PLC, BNP Paribas Group, UniCredit SpA and SIX Payment Services Ltd, giving them access to a network of 930,000 new stores across Europe, the Chinese online finance company said.
