iZettle and UnionPay hook up to power more payments

iZettle has added UnionPay to its range of accepted credit and debit cards. The company’s card reader, iZettle Reader, is the first of its kind to accept UnionPay, across its ten markets in Europe.

Johan Bendz of iZettle says: “This partnership will help the hundreds of thousands of business owners that use iZettle sell more by accepting more payment alternatives. Now, our merchants no longer need to turn away business from the millions of Chinese that visit Europe each year.”

The new partnership will allow millions of Chinese people visiting Europe to pay for goods and services using their UnionPay cards with iZettle merchants.

The transaction fee with UnionPay cards will be the same as for all other supported cards, including American Express, Visa, MasterCard, V Pay, Electron, Diners Club, JCB and Maestro.
