▲ thanks @ SoftMedia Xinyou 2016930 for pictures according to the screenshot provided by netizens' contribution, the "payment method" of Google Play Store can currently be bound to the Bank of China UnionPay debit card. Debit cards from banks such as Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Construction Bank and China Merchants Bank are also available, according to relevant discussions in the V2EX forum.

Before the screenshot of the discussion about ▲ V2EX, local users in Hong Kong could choose local credit / debit cards, PayPal, "Hong Kong version of Alipay" AlipayHK and Octopus to complete the transaction.

As for the binding method, you need to enter the bank binding mobile phone number when adding the mainland UnionPay card, which is used to accept SMS verification code. In addition, the binding process can only be done through the mobile side of the Play store, and if you try to add it to the web page, it will still prompt "invalid card number".

It should also be noted that the feature is still suspected to be in an internal test state, and only a small number of users can bind UnionPay cards.
