China UnionPay's wholly-owned subsidiary UnionPay International, in collaboration with International Cards Company (ICC), has started issuing UnionPay cards in Jordan.

The new card, which is the first multi-currency (dinar, USD and RMB) chip card, is claimed to be safer than magnetic stripe card and also more flexible for its multi-currency settlement function. It will be accepted at all the ATMs and POS terminals, and is expected to meet the payment demands of tourists visiting the country.
