Huawei Mobile Services has joined forces with China-based financial services business, UnionPay, to launch its new mobile payment service – Huawei Pay, in Thailand.

The tool provides a contactless and cashless payment service for Huawei device users, with Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Thai) the first bank to support the payment service. In addition, the payment solution is one of the key services under the company’s Wallet app that supports near field communication (NFC) payments in retail stores. 

The company’s Wallet app comes pre-installed in the newly-launched Huawei P40 series.

For the existing smartphone models, the app can be downloaded from the company’s official app marketplace.

In Thailand, the local merchandises support Huawei Pay including Boots, Emporium, Jaymart, Major Cineplex, Mr. D.I.Y, Sushi Hiro, Swarovski, Tesco Lotus, The Face Shop and others.
