Since its launch in Hong Kong and Macau in September, 2018, the UnionPay mobile application has enhanced the mobile payment experience of the local residents and effectively met the demands for payment convenience brought by the construction of Greater Bay Area. Therefore, it is well-received among local institutions, cardholders as well as merchants. So far, UnionPay cards issued by 20 institutions in Hong Kong and Macau can be bound to the UnionPay app, which is accepted at more than 12,000 merchants. The number of users and transaction volume of the app is increasing steadily and about one-quarter of its total transaction volume occurred in the Chinese Mainland.

An open platform providing multiple services to local customers

The UnionPay app offers an open platform that offers multiple services to Hong Kong and Macau customers. To date, 20 major local institutions, including Bank of China (Hong Kong), Bank of Communications (Hong Kong), Bank of China Macau Branch, Bank of East Asia and ICBC Asia have linked to the platform. UnionPay cardholders of these institutions are able to use their local mobile phone number to make registration, bind their UnionPay cards to the app, and then enjoy smooth mobile payment experience in Hong Kong, Macau, Mainland China and other parts of the world.

In addition to providing financial payment functions such as offline QR code payment, online In-App payment, and management of multiple UnionPay accounts, the app also provides a variety of services such as credit card bonus points, Mainland mobile phone top-up and Mainland public utility payment tailored to the actual needs of Hong Kong and Macau residents. For example, Hong Kong and Macau residents who live and work in the Mainland can use the app to inquire about house-renting information in 20 cities; and UnionPay premium card holders in Hong Kong and Macau can use the app to reserve airport VIP lounges and rent portable WIFI devices.

Accepted in cross-border and local
