PostBank Uganda (PBU) has forged a partnership with UnionPay International (UPI) to introduce a new payment card.

The card launch follows the start of an alliance between the two parties to offer the bank’s services outside Uganda.

Dubbed UnionPay PostCard, the new debit card enables the bank customers to conduct international transactions.

They can make payments at more than 3000 merchant locations in Uganda and 52 million merchants across 179 countries globally, using the new card.

UnionPay Africa branch GM Luping Zhang said that cardholders can transact at PostBank ATMs, PostAgents, and any participating point-of-sale (POS) terminals and ATM networks worldwide.

Additionally, PostBank is launching a marketing campaign for the UnionPay PostCard to raise its awareness among customers.
