China UnionPay appoints Kenyan bank agent in East Africa

(Xinhua) Updated: 2010-09-16 14:14

NAIROBI - Kenya's Equity Bank has signed up with the China UnionPay to allow its customers in Kenya and throughout East Africa to make transactions from Equity's ATMs and Points of Sale.

China UnionPay cards will be accepted at Equity Bank's 700 ATMs, 5,000 Points of Sale and over 1,000 merchant outlets worldwide, offering the Union's customers a convenient and wider network.

Equally, Equity Bank customers on VISA will be able to access their accounts from China UnionPay's ATMs and POS all around the world, making it easy and convenient for Kenya's business community that imports goods from China to transact business.

"With the signing up of the new deal, Equity becomes China UnionPay's sole agent in East Africa, and is the third bank in the continent to sign up the service after South Africa and Mauritius," Equity Bank said in a statement received on Wednesday.

China UnionPay has issued over 2.3 billion cards globally, offering a wide market for its partners. Last year alone, it recorded over 1 trillion transactions globally.

Kenya has also been keen to have close ties with China which has become a major global economic partner.

The Chinese population in East Africa has been growing steadily over the years, with China's massive investments in infrastructure development, energy, oil and mineral exploration. Kenya's bilateral relationship with China has also been boosted recently as the country positions itself as a major Chinese tourist destination.

It is estimated that 20,000 Chinese tourists visit Kenya every year with the figure expected to rise to at least 100,000 per year in the next three years.

Earlier this year, Equity Bank signed a $50 million loan in support of the SME sector in Kenya with the China Development Bank, offering the cheapest source of funding for the sector in the country.
