With immediate effect, the gateway offers direct links to China UnionPay (CUP), one of the world's largest credit and debit card organisations, and to the CUP subsidiary ChinaPay, the also internationally well-known CUP card acquirer. Consequently, payment service providers and their merchants in the USA, Europe and other parts of the world now geteasy technical access to the principal payment procedures of the world's second largest economy with annual disposable income totalling EUR 290 billion and over 145 million active Chinese online shoppers.

With integration of China CUP and ChinaPay into PayPipe, PAY.ON has openedthe gate for payment providers to monthly several million cross border transactions by CUP card customers. PAY.ON comprehensively meets the various technical requirements of all market participants. Payment service providers (PSPs) and independent sales organisations (ISOs) are linked to both Chinese market leaders via a simple PayPipe integration for global transaction processing. PAY.ON provides also a dedicated link to China UnionPay for acquiring banks and acquiring processors complyingtoall necessary technical and formal requirements.
The high degree of relevance of cross-border e-commerce in China is also demonstrated by the CUP expansion strategy. To boost the international attractiveness of its payment methods, CUP currently allows PSPs and ISOs to become also a CUP acquirer itself in case of their merchant portfolio is sufficiently promising -which is usually an exclusive privilege of financial institutes.In the course of this transactions can be processed easily via PayPipe. PAY.ON complements the new China connection with a comprehensive on-site support. PAY.ON has its own operation in Asia since 2009 including account management and customer services with well-established relations to all market players in the Asia/Pacific region. "PAY.ON stands forfast and smooth execution of customer requirements," says Dr. Tschangiz Scheybani, Managing Director of PAY.ON Asia.

PayPipe offers payment providers the opportunity to connect their payment system with the processing platforms of several hundred other payment providers and more than 100 international payment method providers via only one single interface (API).
