More Ways to Pay. More Opportunities to Grow.
Your Chinese customers have more than one favourite way to pay, and now your checkout does too. Starting today, you can accept UnionPay with GlobePay!
Accept UnionPay alongside WeChat Pay and Alipay+
As a principal member of UnionPay International, GlobePay can now accept UnionPay card payments alongside WeChat Pay and Alipay+.
Whether your customers prefer a digital wallet or a bank card, online or in store, GlobePay gives your business more ways to get paid.
Why UnionPay matters
UnionPay is China’s national bank card network, and for most mainland Chinese customers it’s the card already in their wallet. Wallets are great for a quick coffee. For bigger or planned purchases, like hotel stays, luxury goods or travel bookings, many customers would rather use their card. Now you’re ready for both.
Everything you need, nothing new to learn
- Every UnionPay card welcome. Any card on the UnionPay network can be used, so customers never have to wonder which card will work.
- Flexible ways to pay. Accept UnionPay by QR code, online checkout and payment links.
- Keep your current GBP settlement cycle. UnionPay payments follow the same settlement schedule you already have with GlobePay.
- One Portal, one app. UnionPay transactions sit right alongside your WeChat Pay and Alipay+ payments, with exportable statements for easy reconciliation.
- No additional application fees. Add UnionPay without an extra application charge, and with no maintenance fees.
- Regulated and secure. GlobePay is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority as a Payment Institution, and merchant funds are safeguarded under the Payment Services Regulations 2017.
