This initiative marks UnionPay International’s (UPI) first B2B virtual card designed to address the cross-border payment needs of businesses.

“We are delighted to partner with TripLink to offer the first UnionPay Virtual Commercial Card tailored to the needs of businesses. B2B payments present a significant opportunity within the payment industry. We are pleased to be able to offer this customised solution for TripLink and its customers, which will propel us forward in addressing some of the pain points encountered by businesses in B2B payment. Our aim is to provide a diverse and comprehensive range of payment solutions catered to the unique needs of our B2B clients,” said Carine Low, Singapore Country General Manager, UnionPay International.

Wang Zhe, Chief Executive Officer, TripLink International, added, “We are happy to extend TripLink to more users through this partnership, which exemplifies our ethos of constantly innovating and improving to serve them better. Our aim to help enterprises develop worldwide to accelerate business growth will be well served by connecting more businesses through the UnionPay network, thus facilitating an increase in global payments – especially inbound payments to Mainland China.”
