UnionPay pos machines cannot be used for UnionPay single label cards. UnionPay and UnionPay belong to two different card organizations, so UnionPay pos machines can only use UnionPay cards. Moreover, POS machines that support express delivery channels in China are not allowed to swipe their cards for the time being. AMEX can only use credit cards for consumption in China after establishing a bank card clearing institution in China.

Extended data:

American Express cards can be swiped at home. Because if the American Express card handled by the customer is double-marked, then the customer can swipe the card directly in the domestic UnionPay channel.

If the American Express card handled by the customer is a single-label foreign currency, although it cannot be swiped through the UnionPay channel, customers can also swipe their cards in high-end places such as star-rated hotels and clubs, because these places have special credit card channels; Or customers can go to Haitao's website and pay online with American Express card.

Of course, it is still troublesome to use single-label credit cards issued by foreign card organizations in China. It is suggested that customers can apply for a UnionPay card and use both cards together. In fact, if there is no demand from consumption abroad, it is better to apply for UnionPay cards directly, and there is no great need to apply for single-label cards issued by foreign card organizations.

When you apply for a card, you should also consider your economic situation and repayment ability. Choosing the right card is more important. American Express cards are issued by many domestic banks, and customers can choose one of them.

Supplement:

American express card is not what it used to be. Only American dollar credit cards are used overseas!

American Express is the first and only foreign card organization approved by the People's Bank of China to conduct bank card clearing business in China.

Maybe some friends still don't understand what this means. Simply put, the American Express RMB card, which is now handled by domestic banks, can be used in China.

In the past, it used to be a dual-currency card set or a single-currency dollar card. Either you bought foreign exchange for repayment after spending abroad, or you couldn't use it at home, which was too troublesome.

The RMB card of American Express is completely different. Not only domestic and overseas consumption is charged in RMB, but also repayment is made directly in RMB (consumption abroad includes Haitao, and there is no need to purchase foreign exchange for repayment).

For domestic use, like ordinary credit cards, it can be bound with China UnionPay Express/Alipay/WeChat, which are online payment platforms for consumption.

Most importantly, because American Express used to be a dollar card, most of the discounts were given to consumption abroad.

Now American Express is a RMB card, which can enjoy rich rights and interests in China and is more suitable for domestic use.
