The debit card is equipped with UnionPay’s QuickPass function, and can be used for "tap-and-go" payment at more than seven million QuickPass terminals across the world.

Cardholders can travel by the local bus, subway and taxi by simply tapping the card, which realizes the integration of bankcard and transportation card.

The card offers cashback for overseas and local spend, 24-hour UnionPay Concierge service for shopping and dining, as well as medical and travel assistance, among others.

Further, the UnionPay platinum debit card can be used in UnionPay’s acceptance network in 157 countries and regions.
