Alpha Bank Romania has signed an agreement with UnionPay International, one of the largest payment schemes in the world and a subsidiary of China UnionPay, and has become the first bank in Romania to accept transactions with UnionPay cards at its ATM network nationwide.
In recent years, Romania has become a destination of interest for Chinese entrepreneurs and tourists, hence this new partnership will facilitate financial transactions and bring multiple benefits to UnionPay cardholders.
“We are honored to launch this partnership with UnionPay in Romania. All UnionPay cardholders will now be able to make secure and easy transactions through the Alpha Bank Romania ATM network, and shortly through the POS terminal network all over the country as well” said Cristian Daniel Dragos, Executive Retail Vice President of Alpha Bank Romania.
With over seven billion cards accumulatively issued worldwide, UnionPay is the card payment organization with the largest cardholder base in the world. Its global network extends to 174 countries and regions, covering 52 million merchants and more than 2.6 million ATMs worldwide.
