UnionPay relaunches in Mauritius to improve cultural and business ties

The relaunch aims to bring together local banks, media, industry players, and influencers to collaborate and drive economic and technological advancement. Additionally, UnionPay focuses on meeting the needs and demands of its customers and partners while remaining compliant with local and international regulatory requirements.

UnionPay relaunches in Mauritius to support cultural ties

UnionPay initially launched its services in Mauritius in 2013, issuing its card in Africa in collaboration with Mauritius Commercial Bank. It continued to expand its presence locally through partnerships with financial institutions. UnionPay partnered with banks such as ABC Bank, State Bank of Mauritius, Mauritius Central Bank, and Banque Patronus, to allow for simple and secure transactions for local businesses, consumers, and entrepreneurs.

The event highlights Mauritius’ collaboration with China, two nations connected through diplomatic, economic, and cultural ties. China is currently the island’s trading partner, supporting sectors including infrastructure, finance, agriculture, and high technology. The China-Mauritius Free Trade Agreement (FTA) improved their economic cooperation, upgrading trade and investment opportunities for both countries.

UnionPay’s expansion aims to improve financial services and optimise cultural and economic exchanges between the two nations. Local businesses in Mauritius can better serve international visitors, while travellers can access services in China more conveniently. This helps them explore more opportunities and expand trade, fostering entrepreneurship.

UnionPay is committed to improving economic trade and cultural ties between China and Mauritius, supporting engagement and investment in furthering the island’s financial standing.

The event also marks the release of UnionPay’s latest digital advertising campaign produced in Mauritius with local talents, which aims to capture the island’s culture and business landscape. Influencers and media representatives who will attend can engage with the campaign and spread UnionPay’s message of supporting international collaboration.
