Payments via China UnionPay surge 53%

Payments by domestic consumers via China UnionPay’s network on New Year’s Day surged 53 percent from a year earlier to hit 100 billion yuan (US$16.5 billion) for the first time, the company said yesterday.

Consumers spent 77 percent more at jewelry stores from a year ago as the relatively low gold price fueled demand. Transactions at supermarkets and home appliance retailers also surged 52 percent and 43 percent respectively, UnionPay said.
