Standard Bank and UnionPay expand e-Commerce for merchants in Ghana, eight other African markets

By enabling UnionPay e-commerce acceptance across nine African markets, Standard Bank is helping merchants reduce payment friction, reach more customers and participate more effectively in cross-border digital commerce.

According to a press release from Standard Bank copied to Ghana Business News, the two entities have expanded UnionPay e-commerce acceptance across nine African markets, enabling participating merchants to accept secure online payments from UnionPay cardholders.

Supported by Standard Bank’s African presence, the expanded acceptance capability is locally relevant, regionally scalable and connected to international customer flows, the release added.
