The companies will develop payment systems for online and mobile phone transactions.

The two companies will work together to develop payment systems that can be used online or through mobile phones, according to an agreement signed in Shanghai.

Clients who opt to try out the companies' mobile phone payment services will be able to shop online, pay utility bills, make credit card payments and buy airplane tickets through their mobile phones, according to a statement posted on China UnionPay's website.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
