Foreign tourists may find it easier to pay for the following situations in China’s cashless society from next month, as Tencent Holdings begins to facilitate payments by Visa and other international bank cards through WeChat Pay.
For:
Taxi rides,
Restaurant meals and
Attraction tickets etc.
Foreign bank cards on these platforms were limited due to financial and data controls, however, with China reopening its borders to overseas visitors, the difficulty in making everyday payments has become a common complaint.
