Dowsure creates the solution of “Protection for Global Ecommerce”, through the analysis and research on the whole cross-border e-commerce, dividing the industry into different sections to analyze the risk, probability of risk occurrence and the sustainability.

Mr. Byron Pei, Founder and CEO of Dowsure said, “E-commerce in Hong Kongshows great prospects for development, however due to the complexity of cross-border e-commerce levels, counterfeit and shoddy goods perplex the consumers and sellers. HKFEC is very authoritative around Hong Kong e-commerce, we are very honored to work with HKFEC and to create a better and safer environment for Hong Kong cross-border e-commerce.

China being the largest Ecommerce market in the world, both seller and consumer have big concerns in trust. In the sellers’ point of view, they have difficulties to proof themselves a valid source for genuine product with good quality. This damage the reputation and customer satisfaction, which causes some international brand hesitated to develop ecommerce in Hong Kong and China market. From the consumer perspective, No.1 concern is getting fake product online, and once that happened, they do not know who responsible for the claim. Therefore, HKFEC and Dowsure aims at protecting consumer rights and privacy, strengthening confidence level of consumer by recruiting brand retailers joining the scheme, all purchase from that particular brand will then be insured by large insurance company.

By utilizing blockchain technology, information including product origin, ordering, logistics arrangement, product receipt, complaints and claims, can be checked by sellers and consumers with a dedicated key. Sellers or consumers can insure for their transaction, if there are any problems arise, consumers are entitled to claims backed by renowned insurance companies such as China Insurance, PICC, CPIC and so on. HKFEC as an organization representing the industry, will continue to actively promote FinTech and e-commerce in the digital economy. The scheme will first launch for local and cross-border e-commerce players in Hong KongMacau and mainland, and gradually expand to other regions.
