<p>The companies have reached an additional agreement, which will further enhance its relationship, to promote the acceptance of China UnionPay (CUP) cards in markets outside of China, at specific ATM locations and merchant point-of-sale locations using First Data systems. First Data will also provide transaction routing and payment processing services. <br /><br />The relationship with First Data will provide our customers easy access to cash whether they are on business, holiday or studying, said Jeffrey Huang, vice president for CUP&#0039;s international division. We are pleased to partner with First Data to offer our cardholders greater convenience, and we look forward to working with them on future initiatives as we expand our presence globally. <br /><br />The partnership will give CUP cardholders access to more than 5,800 Cashcard ATMs across Australia, making it more convenient for the increasing numbers of CUP customers visiting Australia.</p>
