ComBank’s Android POS units accept contactless payments of UnionPay cards

 The Commercial Bank of Ceylon has announced that its Point-of-Sale (POS) devices have been enabled to accept contactless payments via ‘QuickPass’ – the Near Field Communication (NFC) technology of UnionPay cards.

With this development, holders of NFC-enabled UnionPay cards and Mobile QuickPass linked with UnionPay cards can make convenient and secure contactless payments at any merchant that has a ComBank Android Smart Terminal, and purchases below the value of Rs 7,500 will not require a PIN or a signature, the Bank said.
