Mobile Payment in China

China’s mobile payment landscape has undergone a revolutionary transformation with the rise of Alipay and WeChat Pay. These two major players have changed the way financial transactions are conducted in the country. Users can easily make payments for various goods and services with just a few taps on their mobile devices. The integration of services beyond transactions, such as bill payments and financial management, has contributed to the widespread adoption of mobile payments. The use of QR-code technology has further simplified the process, allowing even small businesses to accept mobile payments.

Alipay and WeChat Pay

Alipay and WeChat Pay further optimizes the payment process experience for global tourists. In addition to offline store consumption, taking public transportation, subway, taxi, cycling, booking hotels, air tickets, train tickets, and scenic spot tickets in China can all be achieved through Alipay and WeChat Pay.

Alipay and WeChat Pay both support overseas banks to link cards for payment. The following tutorials can teach you how to link your bank card to WeChat pay or Alipay.
