Sands China and Bank of China Macau Branch have issued the first co-branded UnionPay credit card for Macau residents.
Through the collaboration, the two parties will leverage their respective strengths to provide the public with better and more convenient leisure, entertainment and payment experiences, they said.
The BOC Sands Lifestyle co-branded UnionPay credit card is expected to be officially launched in October, with a focus on supporting the recovery of the tourism industry. It offers an array of high-end leisure and entertainment privileges and benefits, which will help further build Macao as a diversified world centre of tourism, culture and leisure.
