Huawei Teams Up With UnionPay to Roll Out Huawei Pay Worldwide

Huawei signed a mutual cooperation agreement with UnionPay International with the aim of working together to promote the globalization of Huawei Pay and to accelerate its roll-out worldwide. The agreement marks the first joint effort to bring Huawei Pay to the global market since the two enterprises worked together to create that sevice back in 2016.

In future, Huawei and Honor mobile phone users outside of China will be able to make quick and easy mobile payments by adding their UnionPay bank cards to a phone that has Huawei Pay enabled and then placing their phone next to a POS machine that supports UnionPay mobile QuickPass. In terms of security, the service uses the all-device solution, which ensures user payment security. At the same time, payment token technology is applied to effectively protect the privacy and data security of cardholders.

Russia will be the first oversea market to implement the service. Currently, UnionPay bank cards are accepted at 85% of POS terminals and ATMs in Russia, with over 400,000 POS terminals accepting UnionPay mobile contactless payment. More than 10 Russian banks have issued about 1.3 million UnionPay bank cards. Besides Russia, Huawei and UnionPay plan on bringing Huawei Pay services to other markets in Eastern Europe and so on.
