The new service allows local Huawei/Honor phone users to pay via both contactless and QR code payments and is the card scheme's first mobile-wallet service to feature dual payment options overseas.
The dual payments function of UnionPay's mobile payment products adds QR code-based payment onto contactless payment, and can be applied to any NFC-enabled smartphone. With this function, users only need to link their card to their mobile phone once, and then access multiple mobile payment methods, according to a press release.
Now for users in Pakistan, they can link UnionPay cards issued by NBP to the mobile-wallet app Huawei Pay and then can choose to make tap & go or scan & go payments as they like or according to the acceptance condition of a particular merchant. Additionally, users can access the payment function conveniently by fingerprint authentication, without having to open the app.
