GlobalOnePay Enables Merchants to Tap Into Growing Chinese eCommerce and Mobile Payment Markets


PLANO, Texas, Feb. 2, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GlobalOnePay, a leading provider of omni-channel payment processing technologies and merchant services, announced today that its payment processing platform is now accepting UnionPay transactions in-store, in-app and online worldwide.  

GlobalOnePay will provide a full-service implementation of UnionPay, including direct integration, rapid boarding, streamlined risk and underwriting, full online reporting and dedicated support. As a result, GlobalOnePay merchants will be able to accept payments from the world's largest online retail market and the fastest growing payment scheme globally.

UnionPay is a fast-growing bankcard association. In partnership with more than 400 institutions worldwide, UnionPay International has enabled card acceptance in over 150 countries with issuance in more than 40 countries.  According to the company, the cumulative number of UnionPay cards issued globally has exceeded 5 billion and its online and mobile payment users have surpassed 200 million (1). The Nilsen report forecasts that UnionPay's global circulation of payment cards will grow 51% between 2012 and 2017, compared to 28% and 36% for Visa and MasterCard respectively (2).

"We are proud to welcome GlobalOnePay to our network," said Miriam Park, General Manager of UnionPay International America.

Our partnership with GlobalOnePay will further improve our global service system, enabling more UnionPay cardholders across North America and beyond to enjoy the service and privileges we offer."
