eBay’s Government Relations team hosted Andrew Khaw, Senior Director of the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA), at eBay Inc.’s North campus in San Jose, California last week. IDA, one of eBay Inc.’s key regulators in Singapore, visited to discuss recent e-commerce trends, specifically, the innovative services being developed by PayPal to support consumers’ 21st Century shopping needs. Discussion also focused on IDA\'s forward-looking initiatives on broadband infrastructure improvements and helping to build better digital payments infrastructure to support accelerating innovation in this area.

IDA is a champion for pro-business and pro-consumer infocomm-related policies and regulatory frameworks, which are important to eBay Inc. and our users in Singapore. IDA has named PayPal a Mobile Remote Payment partner, a key national program to jointly develop shared mobile services in Singapore.
