Global Payments Asia-Pacific Limited (Global Payments) has launched China UnionPay (CUP) card acceptance service in Brunei, the Maldives, the Philippines, Singapore and Sri Lanka.

This service allows mainland Chinese tourists to pay for goods and services with their CUP cards at merchants served by Global Payments.

The extension of the CUP service to those five markets marks another major milestone for Global Payments’ CUP card acceptance programme, which was started 6 years ago in Hong Kong and has since grown successfully into Macau, Malaysia and Taiwan.
