Worldline and Heinemann Duty Free bring Alipay to Hungary

Alipay is now available at Budapest Airport. As a result, both UnionPay and Alipay are accepted at over 20 PoS terminals in duty free stores.

This is the first acceptance location for the Chinese mobile payments service in Hungary and the second collaboration between acquirer Worldline and Heinemann Duty Free after the launch of Alipay at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in January 2018. 

"We are delighted that we can now make both UnionPay and Alipay payments available to Chinese customers in our duty free shops in Budapest,” says Ildikó Jankovich, Managing Director Heinemann Duty Free at Budapest Airport.

“We see great potential in this customer segment, and we want them to enjoy the best customer experience. By partnering with Worldline, we can be sure to smoothly expand the offering to other countries as well as broaden the range of acceptance services.”
