Using the service, consumers can make quick payments by waving their UnionPay IC cards in front of contactless payment terminals in all merchants within Doota for convenient and secure cross-border payment experience.
Previously, QuickPass was available in over 8,000 GS25 convenience stores in South Korea.
In China, UnionPay QuickPass service was given an upper limit of load amount and purchase amount for each transaction.
However, UnionPay QuickPass service in South Korea will not be given upper limits for consumption due to the load inconvenience for cross-border travelling.
