Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) and online game provider NetDragon Websoft Inc. have officially launched a new co-branded, Unionpay standard credit card, the “Peony NetDragon Credit Card”.

As well as offering basic credit card functions, the card has a creative feature whereby cardholders can make payments without actually signing the card. Instead, cardholders can call a NetDragon customer service hotline using a mobile phone number assigned to the card. After having their information confirmed, cardholders are able to credit their game accounts by debiting their credit cards. They can also credit their game accounts online through the credit card and the gain bonus points at the same time, making payments of virtual items much easier than in the past. (PRNewswire)
