Wait till you see how China pays for over a decade now. Only QR code or NFC. Since I moved here, I haven’t used cash or card in over 7 years. Everything you need is in one of the 2 super apps. You order food, cars, trains flights, bike share, etc all through the one app. Even the street vendors and few beggars you see, have a QR to scan.



































AliPay works only for Chinese citizens overseas. I use AliPay happily in China, but it will not work overseas as I’m a foreigner. Luckily most ATM now accept unionpay which is the Chinese card standard.
