Tencent led a $45m Series B round in Lydia Solutions, a French payments startup, with participation from existing investors CNP Assurances, XAnge and New Alpha. "We have an ambitious goal, which is turning Lydia into a mobile financial service app. Tencent is also the No. 1 player in the video game industry, and there’s no industry with as much user engagement," Cyril Chiche, Lydia CEO.
