In an effort to increase the number of UPI cards issued in Nigeria, Funds & Electronic Transfer Solutions Limited (Fets) and UnionPay International have established a partnership to issue virtual cards via the Fets App.
UnionPay International, a global leader in payment services, and Fets, a supplier of cutting-edge payment solutions, have established a cooperation. Through the use of fets’ cutting-edge payment technology via the fetswallet App and UnionPay’s extensive acceptance network, this cooperation provides a comprehensive choice of payment possibilities.

The primary objective of the cooperation is to provide clients with a wider range of payment alternatives, including virtual cards, digital wallets, and other payment methods. Additionally, this collaboration enables consumers to reach a larger audience and more quickly penetrate overseas markets by accepting payments from clients globally.
