The easy-to-use payment terminal issues a QR-code that can be scanned by every mobile device with a UST wallet installed. Once the QR-code is scanned, the user can authorize a UST transaction to the merchant.
The entire procedure takes 15 second and looks like payment with the Apple Pay or Google Pay systems.
Activists of the JINKOU community welcome the novel mechanism that is undergoing its beta testing phase. The team of JINKOU added that Thailand and Turkey will be the first countries for real-world stress testing of this system.
