UK fintech Tribe Payments is partnering with UnionPay as part of the Chinese giant's 'aggressive' push into Europe
Thomson Reuters Chinese payments giant UnionPay is going into a partnership with UK fintech startup Tribe Payments. UnionPay is the third largest card and payments provider in the world, after Mastercard and Visa, and has "very aggressive" plans for expansion in Europe, Tribe Payments' CEO told Business Insider. "An IPO is already an aim for the future," says the Tribe Payments CEO. China's largest payments provider UnionPay is making major strides into Europe by launching a partnership with UK fintech start up Tribe Payments. UnionPay was founded in 2002 under a mandate by the People's Bank of China (PBOC) and has issued some 6 billion cards to date. The company's platform has mostly expanded in Asia but has come under increasing competition from disruptive brands like Alipay and Tencent's WeChat Pay. "We have the largest cardholder base in the world," says Wei Zhihong, UnionPay International's market director and head of its European branch. "Working with innovative partners such as Tribe Payments is a key part of our expansion and growth in the European market where we are accepted by 3.3 million merchants in over 40 countries." The state-run giant's expansion is a "a very aggressive move into the European market," says Suresh Vaghjiani, CEO of Tribe Payments, in an interview with Business Insider.

I would like to share my "long" experience with Revolut that I am sure will definetly change payment systems. I have been using Revolut since early 2016. I am a professional from the financial services sector and I can't stand paying fees on exchange rates. My first experience as a user was on holiday in the US and, after getting back to Italy, I calculated that I saved lots of money because I effectively got the FX spot price. Unfortunately, during my stay in the US, travelling by train from Boston to NYC, I realized that my card has been cloned because I have been notified on my smartphone about payments that I had never done. Immediately I disabled the card using the app, I chatted with the Revolut customer care informing them about that accident. Then they sent me a link to a web page for reporting the accident. After few minutes I have been credited of the USD spent by the "unkown" person. Arrived at home I have found a new card for free. I saved money and found an efficient customer care. For this reason I upgraded to Revolut Premium and joined the crowdfunding. I am "waiting for the IPO asap"!
