epay, Australia’s leading alternative payments provider with more than 23,000 locations nationwide, has announced a strategic partnership with international payment network UnionPay, the one-stop mobile payment service enabling scan&go payments for more than 300 million registered account holders.

The partnership will enable Australian retailers to offer the QR code payment service to UnionPay customers in Australia, removing the need to use less preferred methods like cash or card – particularly as retailers place a greater focus on COVID safe retail trading environment during the festive season rush this year.

According to the recent “INNOCEAN 2020 Life in the Times of COVID tracker”, Australians consumers feel an increasing appreciation for the in-store experience despite health concerns due to COVID-19. More than half of Australian shoppers (57%) are likely to do at least half of their Christmas shopping this year in physical stores (up from 28% of respondents surveyed in June 2020).

UnionPay is a leader in implementing advanced payment methods and will support QR code payments by its mobile app, providing a safe, secure and convenient way to make and receive QR payments.

Australian retailers including Muji, Haigh’s Chocolate, L’Occitane, Vodafone, MJ Bale, Priceline Pharmacy have already enabled QR payment technology with epay through bank or epay terminals, while fashion retailers Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein have directly integrated epay into their Point of Sale System to enable the service.  

For all other retailers, epay can help onboard the UnionPay QR code payment method, providing in-store solutions including epay terminals and POS integration.

In addition to technology onboarding, epay will also roll-out a series of marketing activities to help retailers promote the new payment option and increase recognition of their products with customers.  Marketing opportunities will include UnionPay’s Uplan and instant deductions, as well as in store promotions and the opportunity for retailers and their products and services to feature on the UnionPay app.

“This new partnership will see epay expand its alternative payment offering in its continued mission to provide safe, secure and convenient alternative payment options for UnionPay customers in Australia. UnionPay is a leader in providing preferred payment technologies, so this is a partnership that we know Australian retailers will be excited about,” said Matthew Blayney, Country Manager of epay Australia.
 
“The relationships and technical integration that epay has with Australian retailers enables UnionPay to provide access to an impressive list of high-profile brands and retailers. This partnership allows us to continue our track-record for providing simple, convenient and safe alternative payment solutions into the hands of the UnionPay users,” said Dr Jian Jiangtao, Chief Representative for UnionPay International’s South Pacific region.
