BCC Rolls Out QR Code Payments for Shopping in China and Worldwide

Bank CenterCredit has launched the QR code payment service supported by UnionPay, enabling customers to pay for goods and services in China and other countries. The service allows QR code payments at over 100 million merchant locations in China, including all types of Weixin Pay (WeChat Pay in China) QR codes, one of the most widely used QR code payment systems in the country. The feature is integrated directly into the bcc.kz mobile app and does not require installing any additional services.

Most Chinese merchants accept UnionPay QR code payments.
To make a payment, simply open the bcc.kz mobile app and go to the ‘Pay via QR’ section. Then choose one of the payment methods:

• Scan the merchant’s QR code, select the account to be debited and confirm the transaction; or
• Generate your own QR code in the My QR section. Then select the card for payment and show the code to the merchant or hold it up to the scanner. Once scanned, the amount will be automatically debited from the card selected.

This service is available to holders of #DragonCard and #GoldCard issued within the UnionPay international network.

“China remains one of the most popular destinations for Kazakhstani tourists and business travelers. Most settlements in the country are made via mobile payments, while traditional cash is hardly used, which underscores the convenience of digital services. Integration with UnionPay expands cross-border payment options, simplifies card usage abroad, and creates a reliable digital bridge between the payment systems of Kazakhstan and China,” emphasized Ms. Zhuldyz Kairzhanova, Vice President of Retail Business Development at JSC Bank CenterCredit.

UnionPay is expanding its international partnerships and enhancing the user experience. All Weixin Pay QR codes in China are fully integrated into the UnionPay network. The QR code payment service is already available at more than 150 million merchant locations in 48 countries and regions, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Southeast Asian countries, South Korea, Japan, and others.
