In addition, there are emerald green villages, stretching beach, winding lakeshore and rivers. People there are very passionate and hospitable by nature, and ready to chat with others. Why not take your UnionPay card (card number starting with 62) to accompany you to step onto the “Island Country of Emerald” covered by boundless grassland？
POS acceptance

Merchants displaying the signage of accept UnionPay cards.

When using co-branded cards, we recommend you to choose UnionPay as the routing option to be benefited from the special offers and services provided by UnionPay.

Note：Some UnionPay card acceptors or acquirers route co-branded cards to corresponding card shcem according to the card BIN, which means co-branded cards transactions aren't routed to UnionPay without selection by cardholders and merchant cashiers. Please refer to the transaction results for the information about transaction routing.

Paying with UnionPay credit card at some local merchants requires no PIN. Cardholders can complete the payment following the instruction of the cashier. You can also refer to relative service guide at "Help Center-Card-using Instructions-Service Guide for Overseas Using of UnionPay Credit Card without PIN".
Cash withdrawal

In Ireland, UnionPay cards are accepted at the ATMs of Euronet.

Please refer to the latest government policy on overseas cash withdrawal via UnionPay cards at "Help Center-Card-using Instructions-Refined Card-using Tips". Daily cash withdrawal limit from respective issuers and/or ATM may apply. Please consult your issuer on the possible cap on the amount. You may split your withdrawals into several times which comply with the limit(s).
Charges

ATM commission fee consists of two separate fees:
(1) Service fee charged by the issuer: please consult your issuer for details.
(2) Service fee charged by the ATM acquirer: some ATMs will charge commission fee, which is charged by the local banks in UK and which has nothing to do with UnionPay or the issuer.

Cash withdrawal via debit card results in a lower commission fee.
Tips

Select PINs that cannot be easily guessed by anyone.
Never disclose your PIN to anyone who claims to represent the bank or the police.
Be alert to your surroundings before conducting any banking transactions.
Keep a close eye on your credit card during transaction to avoid any illegal activities.
If your UnionPay card has been stolen/lost, please inform the issuer immediately.
