  2. The customer taps, inserts, or swipes their UnionPay card
  3. The customer confirms the payment (PIN or contactless)
  4. The transaction is processed and approved in real time
  5. Funds are settled to your account as per your standard settlement cycle
UnionPay also supports contactless and mobile wallet payments via NFC-enabled devices.

Getting started
