Cai Jianbo, CEO of UnionPay International, Larry Wang, Chief Business Development Officer of UnionPay International and Jeff van Duynhoven, President, TD Merchant Services were present at the signing ceremony in Shanghai. “As the UnionPay network continues to expand in the overseas market and the services keep improving, UnionPay cards have become outbound Chinese travelers’ first payment choice and are currently accepted by over 80 percent of the local ATMs and tens of thousands of merchants in Canada,” said Larry Wang. “More than 400,000 Chinese tourists visited Canada last year and UnionPay cards provided them with convenient and secure services. TD’s businesses cover many regions in North America and we will deepen our cooperation to continue to expand the UnionPay card acceptance and provide cardholders with diversified payment services,” he said. Jeff van Duynhoven, President, TD Merchant Services, said: “We are very pleased to partner with UnionPay to bring card acceptance to our merchants. Canada is a hugely popular destination for Chinese visitors and we want to ensure our merchants are enabled to accept their payment method of choice.” In recent years, the use of UnionPay card in North America has become increasingly convenient. Except for the large number of ATMs and merchants in Canada that have been enabled for UnionPay card acceptance, well-known online merchants are also enabled, including Tianbao Travel, Tianma Travel, Polar Bear Canada. Moreover, dozens of colleges and universities have enabled cross-border online tuition payment. In addition, in the US, cardholders can use UnionPay cards at more than 90 percent of ATMs and 80 percent of merchants. Payments can be made not only with UnionPay credit cards through signature verifaction but also with UnionPay debit cards at merchants equipped with a pin pad.

Predstavnici tvrtke UnionPay International, međunarodne podružnice tvrtke China UnionPay, PBZ Grupe i Intesa Sanpaolo Carda danas su u Zagrebu potpisali dva značajna ugovora o poslovnoj suradnji prema kojim će UnionPay kartice biti prihvaćene na svim bankomatima i prodajnim mjestima PBZ Grupe, najvećeg izdavatelja i ugovaratelja prihvata kartica u Hrvatskoj. Također, Intesa Sanpaolo Card postepeno će uvoditi UnionPay kartice u devet banaka, članica Intesa Sanpaolo Grupe, na području srednje i istočne Europe. Ovom svečanom potpisivanju prisustvovali su Shi Wenchao, predsjednik Uprave China Union Paya; Dinko Lucić, član Uprave PBZ-a i predsjednik Nadzornog odbora PBZ Carda; Zdenek Houser, predsjednik Uprave Intesa Sanpaolo Card, te brojni drugi uzvanici. Shi Wenchao je izjavio da Hrvatska te srednja i istočna Europa postaju novo odredište za kineske turiste. Sve intenzivnija ekonomska i tržišna suradnja potaknula je rastuću potražnju za uslugama prekograničnog plaćanja. UnionPay želi surađivati s glavnim lokalnim institucijama kako bi zajedno optimizirali sredinu za prihvat UnionPay kartica te korisnicima kartica omogućili još kvalitetniju uslugu. Zahvaljujući potpisanom ugovoru, Privredna banka Zagreb je prva banka u Hrvatskoj koja će prihvaćati UnionPay kartice na svojim bankomatima i prodajnoj mreži trgovaca. UnionPay kartice bit će najprije prihvaćene na PBZ bankomatskoj mreži, čija primjena se očekuje do početka turističke sezone 2015. Nakon čega je planirano ugovaranje prihvaćanja i na prodajnoj mreži trgovaca. - Veliko nam je zadovoljstvo što će Privredna banka Zagreb biti među prvima unutar Intesa Sanpaolo Grupe koja će prihvaćati UnionPay kartice na svojim bankomatima i prodajnim mjestima trgovaca. Kao vodeći izdavatelj i ugovaratelj prihvata kartica u Hrvatskoj, uključujući 28.500 POS uređaja i oko 700 bankomata, u mogućnosti smo osigurati široko prihvaćanje na našem tržištu nudeći korisnicima UnionPay kartica visokokvalitetne financijske usluge, što će njihov boravak u Hrvatskoj učiniti još ugodnijim, a našim će trgovcima pružiti mogućnost da poboljšaju svoje poslovanje - rekao je Dinko Lucić, član Uprave PBZ-a i predsjednik Nadzornog odbora PBZ Carda.
