Money & payments / ACROSS CHINA

How should I prepare to pay in China?

Set up a mobile wallet before you leave, and keep a second way to pay.

Alipay and WeChat Pay offer payment options for overseas visitors. Check the app’s current instructions for linking your card and verifying your identity before departure.

Card support, fees and limits depend on the payment service and your bank. Check these before confirming a payment. Carry a backup card and some renminbi in case your preferred method fails.
