Youdeal Expands Internationally with ODX Partnership

  BEIJING - 08/10/2018 (PRESS RELEASE JET)

YOUDEAL, China’s largest peer-to-peer service marketplace, expands to Southeast Asia with free internet access powered by Xurpas’ ODX.

New users will join the 50 million people already making money by offering services in their spare time. Members can choose from a growing number of more than 300 categories, such as a neighbourhood dog walker, a local massage therapist, or a language teacher in a foreign country.

“Mobile data is expensive in emerging markets, often up to six times more than the average user can afford. This means consumers are offline up to 80% of the time,” said Ken Dong, YOUDEAL founder, when announcing the alliance to investors this week.

The key partnership with ODX  solves a fundamental problem by providing free internet access to YOUDEAL services. Users now have 24-hour access to the skill-trading app, even if they are without a mobile data plan or airtime credits.

“Data-free access is a critical advantage in emerging markets. Your app becomes the default choice for most people most of the time,” says Nix Nolledo, ODX Founder and CEO.
