針對近日境內銀聯卡無法再用來支付香港人壽險的保費的消息，銀聯國際發表聲明“辟謠”，稱并未停止境外保險類商戶的銀聯卡支付服務，但按照監管政策要求，境內發行的銀聯卡僅可進行個人旅游、消費類支付，不得用于資本和金融項目交易。

請看相關報道：

UnionPay International announced Oct. 29 that all bankcards using its service cannot be used to buy Hong Kong insurance products, whether online or offshore. The embargo targets mainly life insurance, which accounts for the lion’s share of all insurance sales to mainlanders. Exceptions are made for policies closely related to travel, such as accident and injury insurance policies, which UnionPay considers to be current account transactions.

銀聯國際于10月29日宣布，所有（境內）銀聯卡均不得用于購買香港保險公司的產品，無論在線還是離岸都不可以。此次禁令主要指向人壽險，該險種在大陸人赴港購買的保險種類中占比例最大。因旅游相關的意外險和傷害險等被列為經常賬戶交易，所以不在此次禁令之列。

近兩年來，內地人赴港購買保險（mainland customers purchasing Hong Kong insurance products）的數量明顯增加，分紅型重疾險、教育金等理財型保險（wealth management insurance）尤其受青睞，因為內地客戶可以通過購買這些保險完成人民幣兌換美元保值（convert yuan funds into stronger dollars）。

此次銀聯國際發布的《境外保險類商戶受理境內銀聯卡合規指引》（The Compliance Guidelines for Overseas Insurance Merchants Accepting UnionPay Cards Issued in Chinese mainland）適用于適用于境外保險類商戶在POS終端（POS terminals）、互聯網（Internet）、移動支付（mobile channels）等所有渠道受理境內銀聯卡的情況，主要內容包括三點：境內居民在境外購買與意外、疾病等旅游消費相關的經常項目保險，可以使用銀聯卡支付；其他保險項目嚴禁使用銀聯卡支付（all UnionPay cards issued from Chinese mainland are allowed to use to buy pure insurance products (accidents, deaths, and illnesses), but are not allowed to buy any insurance product includes investment-related contents）；重申境外保險類商戶單筆交易不超過5000美元或其他等值外幣的消費金額限制（$5,000 limit on single overseas payments using a bankcard）；強化境外收單機構對保險類商戶管理要求（overseas acquirers are required to strictly supervise insurance merchants relating to cards issued from Chinese mainland）。

以下為銀聯國際聲明全文：

UnionPay is committed to working with our partners to ensure the delivery of a safe and compliant transaction in the payment system.

銀聯一直致力于與合作伙伴協作確保安全合規的交易支付。

Recently, UnionPay has observed a significant increase in overseas insurance transactions by cards issued from Chinese mainland. In order to strengthen the acceptance of such transactions by cards issued from Chinese mainland we have issued The Compliance Guidelines for Overseas Insurance Merchants Accepting UnionPay Cards Issued in Chinese mainland (hereinafter referred to as The Guidelines). The Guidelines reemphasized the relevant regulations and business rules to ensure proper use of UnionPay cards issued from Chinese mainland at overseas insurance merchants.

近期，我們通過商戶交易監測發現，部分境外保險類商戶存在單卡單商戶多筆交易量激增的情況。為進一步規范境外保險類商戶受理境內銀聯卡，近日，我們發布《境外保險類商戶受理境內銀聯卡合規指引》（以下簡稱“《指引》”），重申相關監管要求及業務規則，保證境內銀聯卡在境外的合規使用。

The Guidelines have been issued in Hong Kong and are applied to the acceptance of UnionPay cards issued from Chinese mainland at overseas insurance merchants via POS terminals, Internet and mobile channels. The main contents of The Guidelines are: Firstly, all UnionPay cards issued from Chinese mainland are allowed to use to buy pure insurance products (accidents, deaths, and illnesses), but are not allowed to buy any insurance product includes investment-related contents. Secondly, according to the Foreign Exchange Regulation Policies issued by the Chinese authorities, a single transaction of UnionPay cards issued from Chinese mainland that is allowed under this policy at overseas insurance merchants is capped at the equivalent of 5,000 USD. Thirdly, overseas acquirers are required to strictly supervise insurance merchants relating to cards issued from Chinese mainland by strengthening training for insurance merchants, and adhering to the Guidelines on abnormal transaction detection and merchant inspection.

《指引》目前在香港地區試行，適用于境外保險類商戶在POS終端、互聯網、移動支付等所有渠道受理境內銀聯卡的情況。主要內容包括：一是境內居民在境外購買與意外、疾病等旅游消費相關的經常項目保險，可以使用銀聯卡支付；其他保險項目嚴禁使用銀聯卡支付。二是嚴格落實外匯政策規定的境外保險類商戶單筆交易不超過5000美元或其他等值外幣的消費金額限制。三是強化境外收單機構對保險類商戶管理要求，包括：準確設置商戶類別碼、加強商戶培訓及異常交易監控、強化商戶檢查等。

UnionPay International will continue to provide payment services at overseas insurance merchants while complying with the regulations and laws issued by relevant authorities.

我們將繼續在監管政策框架內提供境外保險類商戶的銀聯卡支付服務。
