Australia’s Leading Retailer Now Accepts UnionPay Cards
2020-09-10

UnionPay International announced today that it has entered into cooperation with Target, one of the largest retail chains in Australia, to have all its stores accept UnionPay cards and enable UnionPay mobile QuickPass.

UnionPay cards are a payment tool favored by the Chinese communities in Australia. To facilitate purchases of local cardholders during the pandemic, UnionPay International has been striving to expand the use case portfolio. Target is a well-known retailer in Australia, with stores operating in cities including Sydney and Melbourne. As a result of this cooperation, UnionPay cardholders can either swipe to pay or make tap-and-go payments at over 250 Target stores.

In recent years, UnionPay has been expanding its global acceptance network in the South Pacific region. In Australia, more than 90% of ATMs and over 85% of POS terminals support UnionPay cards, among which more than 500,000 merchants accept UnionPay mobile QuickPass payments.
