YIĞIM Payment System is proud to announce the launch of a new service: online payments via UnionPay cards are now available through our platform. This step opens new opportunities for both local businesses and customers from Asian countries where UnionPay is widely used.
Leading companies such as Wolt and Bolt, which provide food delivery, taxi, and e-scooter rental services in Azerbaijan, are already accepting UnionPay payments through YIĞIM.
UnionPay is the world’s largest payment system by number of issued cards, operating in over 180 countries. UnionPay cards are issued in more than 80 countries and regions outside mainland China, with over 9 billion cards issued globally. Top countries for UnionPay card issuance outside of China include Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, and Russia.
What is the advantage?
With visa-free travel now in effect between Azerbaijan and
China, an influx of tourists is projected from both China and other
countries where UnionPay is the preferred payment option.
For visitors, students, and entrepreneurs accustomed to UnionPay,
the ability to pay with familiar methods in Azerbaijan enhances
comfort and encourages spending.
Benefits for Businesses:
- New markets and customers – Accepting UnionPay increases the attractiveness of your goods and services to international audiences, especially from Asia.
- Higher conversion rates – Familiar and convenient payment options increase the likelihood of purchase completion.
- Reliability and security – Payments are processed via YIĞIM’s PCI DSS-certified infrastructure, ensuring international-level safety and compliance.
YIĞIM continues to actively develop Azerbaijan’s digital payment infrastructure, offering businesses innovative solutions aligned with global trends.
