Rob Anderson, Managing Director, Paynetics Global commented, “We’re really proud to announce our partnership with UnionPay International as we have now become one of the most comprehensive and far-reaching card issuers in the EEA and have the backing of another of the top card schemes in the world. The milestones in our European expansion are coming thick and fast as we continue to grow rapidly, but it’s still of utmost importance to us that we keep our deep industry knowledge and technical expertise at the heart of what we do, as well as the care we offer to Program Managers around the globe.”

Paynetics offers payment technology solutions including issuing, acquiring, state of the art payment services, IBANs, money transfers, eWallets, mobile payments and software POS.

With a comprehensive acceptance network of online, offline and contactless payment platforms, UnionPay has established a safe, fast and convenient payment environment for cardholders. We are looking forward to bringing a unique card experience to the EEA region.”
