In the dynamic world of payment solutions, staying ahead means tapping into emerging markets. At Skyzer, we’re excited to introduce UnionPay integration for your terminals—a gateway to China’s vast and growing market.
Unlock the Power of UnionPay
UnionPay isn’t just a card scheme brand; it’s a global phenomenon. As the sole card scheme brand in China and one of the world’s major players, UnionPay is a force to be reckoned with. In New Zealand alone, 230,000 people pay with UnionPay cards—a clear sign of significant business potential.
Seizing the Opportunity
With the Chinese market actively engaging in New Zealand, now is the time to prepare. Offer your customers the option to pay using UnionPay and position your business for success. UnionPay now provides both contactless and QR code payment services, making transactions even more convenient via mobile and wearable devices.
In the year ending March 2020, Chinese visitor expenditure in New Zealand reached an impressive $1.54 billion, with an average spend of $5,060 per visitor. Globally, UnionPay boasts over 8 billion issued cards, accepted in 179 countries and regions. In New Zealand, nearly 80,000 businesses already welcome UnionPay cards.
