on the good work and keeping up with the times via its modernisation
project to enable world-class shopping and travelling experience for
visitors to our shores.”

UPLAN promotion
Customers carrying the 62-series UnionPay bankcards are in for
some great offers at all Prouds outlets Fiji-wide.
In partnership with UnionPay International, the management of
Prouds is excited to unveil a joint promotion called “UPLAN” which
allows customers to qualify for instant discounts at all participating
stores.
The promotion is being promoted at a global stage by UnionPay
at various media platforms including Ctrip which is one of the largest
Chinese provider of travel services including accommodation reser-
vation, transportation ticketing, packaged tours and corporate travel
management.
UnionPay has become the central and pivotal part of China’s bank-
card industry, and plays an essential role in the industry development.
As the bankcard association in China, UnionPay operates an inter-
bank transaction settlement system through which the connection and
switch between banking systems and the inter-bank, cross-region and
cross-border usages of bankcards issued by associate banks could be
realized.
Based on the system construction and operation as well as the bank-
card network, UnionPay actively collaborates with various industrial
parties like commercial banks in the efforts to formulate and extend
united UnionPay card standards and regulations, create independent
bankcard brand, promote the development and application of bankcard,
maintain an orderly bankcard acceptance market and prevent bankcard A Chinese customer gets all excited with the UPLAN promotion at
