UnionPay card joins pack of top players

Among the designer brands from Prada to Chanel at the Harrods flagship store in London, Li Yafang spotted a logo she knows from back home: the red, blue and green of UnionPay cards.

"It's very convenient that I can now use my UnionPay card" to shop abroad instead of carrying a stack of cash, said Li, who was buying the same £1,190 (HK$14,830) Prada Saffiano Lux handbag carried by the hit woman in the Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol movie. "I hope more places abroad will accept UnionPay."
