In our country, many owners plastic cards the most famous are such world payment systems as Visa or MasterCard. These are the ones that allow you to pay for purchases and withdraw cash from ATMs in more than 200 countries around the world. But quite recently, a new Chinese payment system Unionpay appeared in Russia and several other countries. What it is and how it works on the territory of our country, we will consider further.
System logo
History of creation
The decision to create your own payment system was made the central bank People's Republic of China in 2002. Several large commercial bank China, and at first the cards were valid only in large cities PRC. By 2003, Unionpay cards were distributed throughout the country, and in 2006 cards under this brand already found their users outside the PRC.
In our country, the system appeared in 2013, and it was in September of that year that the system was included in the register of operators of payment systems of the Russian Federation on the initiative of the Central Bank under the name "UnionPay". By the way, in the same year, the cards of this system were already operating in 142 countries, and surpassed such systems as Visa or MasterCard in the number of issued cards, namely, their number was 4 million units.
Only in Russia, according to forecasts in the future 2017, the number of cards from the Chinese payment system will reach 2 million rubles.
Distinctive features
When registering "plastic" in a bank, we rarely think about which system they belong to, because the issuing bank is engaged in servicing, and the basic conditions will depend on it. Nevertheless, in the light of recent events, or rather, relations between Russia and the United States, the cards from UnionPay have some advantages.
All Russians are aware that the United States imposed sanctions on Russia, this affected and financial relations, but both Visa and MasterCard belong to the Americans, who, in turn, refused to cooperate with some domestic banks. If the situation gets worse, then Russian banks will have no choice but to cooperate with the Chinese system. By the way, in Crimea, Visa and Mastercard cards are not served at all.
If we talk about the advantages, then they are mostly obvious only for those who often travel to China, because the native currency of UnionPei is the Chinese yuan. In addition, all Unionpay cards in Russia have lower service tariffs compared to Visa and MasterCard, and low interest when converting currency.

Where to get a UnionPay card in Russia
Currently, all banks and, in fact, their customers prefer cooperation with Visa or Master Card, but Chinese cards will certainly find their user. Which bank to contact:
- LightBank is one of the first banks to issue the entire line of UnionPay cards, currency: rubles or yuan. Service cost from 500 to 15,000 rubles per year. Feature - a high degree of security of funds, thanks to the six-digit PIN-code.
- Eurofinance Mosnarbank - cards in different designs: classic, gold or platinum. Service cost per year: 700, 1500 and 3000 rubles, respectively.
- Gazprombank - offers customers debit and credit cards: classic, gold and platinum. Service cost from 600 to 1500 rubles.
- Baikal Bank is a card issuing bank of the Chinese payment system. Here, perhaps the most profitable terms service from 0 to 300 rubles per year.
You can learn more about the conditions for receiving and servicing Unionpay cards on the websites of banks or at sales offices.
The above is not the entire list of banks that offer their customers cards from UnionPay. Among them are also MTS Bank, Russian Standard, Renaissance Credit Bank, East Express Bank. At present, Rosselkhozbank has signed an agreement for the issuance and maintenance of cards of the Chinese payment system, and several other banks.
Also, many Russian banks accept plastic, among them Uralsib Bank, Alfa-Bank, VTB Group, Military-Industrial Bank, MDM Bank. That is, the Union Pay payment system is actively developing in Russia, but, unfortunately, so far not all banks work with it, for example, Sberbank of Russia this question thought it over, but did not make a decision yet.
The main problems of Unionpay
So, the main problem of the system is that so far not credit and financial organizations work with this system, and there are not so many ATMs throughout the territory, only 20 thousand, from which you can withdraw money. On the other hand, Unionpay has gained popularity among active Internet users, for example, those who work on the network can withdraw funds through the WebMoney electronic wallet.
Card from Lightbank
By the way, MFOs do not cooperate with Unionpay, so it will not work to take a microloan on the card.
In any case, the Unionpay payment system operates and develops in our country, although many of our compatriots are used to Visa and MasterCard. But if we consider that the PRC is increasing its position in the world ranking, and this is due to economic growth, which means that over time, the Unionpay system will grow and develop both in Russia and abroad.

Since then, UnionPay cardholders have been able to receive cash cash at ATMs, pay for goods and services, but were deprived of the opportunity to replenish card accounts.

At the first stage, the following banks acted as partners of the Chinese payment system in Russia: Gazprombank, VTB24, Master Bank, Moscow Bank for Reconstruction and Development (MBRD), Bank of Moscow, OTP Bank, Home Credit Bank, Uniastrum Bank, Ak Bars Bank, and others credit institutions...

Many of our banks still work with Visa and MasterCard. But after all the unfriendly gestures (sanctions, refusal to serve Crimea), the situation may change. So, we already have a Chinese payment system. And now China UnionPay (CUP) cards are becoming more and more popular.
What is Union Pay card, how is it different
A card is a tool that allows you to use your account. Moreover, you open an account in a particular bank. And you don't care which payment system it works with. Previously, in Russia, these were mainly American Visa and MasterCard, now the Chinese UnionPay has been added to them.
You will not feel the difference and in the same way you will be able to pay for your purchases and services (including on the Internet), withdraw cash in about 140 countries, use a mobile and Internet bank. That is, everything is the same. Then what's the point of switching to Union Pay? And here's what:
UnionPay is independent of the US administration. Remember when Visa and MasterCard, by order from Washington, stopped serving cards of some Russian banks? And in Crimea they still do not work.
Rumor has it that all transactions of Visa and MasterCard users are being tracked by US intelligence agencies. In this situation, it is hardly possible to talk about some kind of security and safety of personal data.
For any of your transactions, the payment system receives a small percentage. Considering the number of transactions, this is a huge amount. So let it be better taxes go to the budget of China, and not the United States!
These systems have different base currencies. Visa has an American dollar, MasterCard has a dollar and euro, and UnionPay has a Chinese yuan. It's not that big of a deal, but is it worth supporting the dollar?
Finally, the cards of the Chinese system are well protected. For this, innovative developments in the field of security are used, as well as a long pincode.
Eurofinance Mosnarbank was the first (back in 2008) to start issuing UnionPay cards. Now they are issued in all branches.
Classic: 700 rub. per year for service, when registering, you must pay 1,000 rubles to your account;
Gold: 1 500 rub. per year, 10,000 rubles must be deposited into your account;
Platinum: 3,000 rubles. per year, 60,000 rubles must be deposited into your account.
For cash withdrawals through Eurofinance Mosnarbank ATMs, 0.3% of the amount is taken, at third-party ATMs - $ 2.5 (or the equivalent in the currency of the client's account), regardless of the amount and country where the money is withdrawn.
Gazprombank issues UnionPay debit and credit cards in the Classic, Gold and Platinum categories. You can get them in all regions of Russia. Recently, it was reported that Gazprombank began issuing bank cards in Crimea, but this still needs to be clarified.
Classic: card issue for 1 year - RUB 600, no service fee, daily limit for cash withdrawal - RUB 200,000;
Gold: issue for 1 year - 2 800 rubles. (with insurance - 3,500 rubles), no service fee;
No commission is charged for cash withdrawal from Gazprombank's ATMs, 0.5% of the amount (at least 150 rubles) + commission from a third-party bank is withdrawn from "foreign" ATMs.
BaikalBank previously only served UnionPay cards, and now it has become an issuing bank. You can get a unique co-branded card of CUP and Zolotoy Korona payment systems in rubles or dollars at any office of BaikalBank (including in Crimea) in just a few minutes.
BaikalBank offers, perhaps, the most favorable conditions for servicing microprocessor cards. But it all depends on the tariff:
“Profitable”: card issuance - 260 rubles, service - free, cash withdrawal - 0.4% of the amount;
"Ordinary": issue - free, maintenance - 300 rubles. per year, cash withdrawal - no commission.
Orient Express Bank issues Union Pay debit and credit cards. You can get additional information in any department of the bank, by phone. 8-800-100-80-70 or on the official website.
