/CNW/ -- UnionPay has recently joined hands with more than 60
online merchants, including Meituan, Ctrip, JD.com and Pinduoduo,

linked. Online payment for UnionPay cards issued outside
China's mainland is now available

Ctrip (travel), Pinduoduo (retail), CaoCao Mobility (ride share),

online payment is designed to fully accommodate the payment
preferences of international users in China, and provide a secure and efficient
payment experience for global cardholders with unified
specifications, signage, and way of access that remove the barriers
in online payment. In addition, the uniform payment portal and
onboarding process allow merchants to easily enable UnionPay and
receive UnionPay's full-range support.
In response to the call of the Chinese government to optimize
payment services and enhance payment convenience, UnionPay has
launched Project Excellence 2024 to continuously make payments in
key scenarios more accessible by playing the role of an industry
hub and in collaboration with various players in the payment
sector. In terms of online spending, UnionPay's acceptance network
now covers 22 million+ online merchants in over 200 countries and
regions out of China's mainland,
supporting various day-to-day use cases such as online shopping,
takeaway, taxi, travel booking, and utility payment, and servicing
cardholders of the 230 million+ cards issued outside the Chinese
mainland.
In the future, UnionPay will continue to promote payment service
innovation, optimize the payment environment for the most
commonly-used scenarios in order to make UnionPay products easy to
use everywhere, and provide a better payment experience for users
across the world.
