“Customer obsession means dedicating yourself to creating the best customer experience possible in all ways by putting their needs first and making business decisions accordingly. We built Amazon Payment Services on this philosophy, using our deep understanding of businesses’ needs across the region to empower organizations with safe and seamless online payment experiences,” George said.
He added: “The key to forging closer relationships with our merchants has always been communication. We maintain an open dialogue with our clients and multiple feedback mechanisms across a number of channels to ensure that our merchants can always reach out to us with feedback, comments or requests for assistance.”
