UnionPay International (UPI) and Mobile Merchant jointly announced the partnership in supporting small and micro enterprises (SMEs) in South Africa.
With its 85% client base focusing on SMEs, Mobile Merchant is looking to open its entire merchant base to accept UnionPay cards, enabling SMEs to reach more customers leveraging UnionPay’s vast cardholder base worldwide. Mobile Merchant provides fast customer-centric mobile terminal solutions that facilitate SMEs to open to business within 3 to 5 days from application approval to installation. The quicker SMEs can pivot and adapt during these ongoing turbulent times, the higher their fitness and success.
