Apple Pay is super primitive vs AliPay
People actually send over $100K+ for no fees with this versus wiring.

because it's a pain in the ass in china to transfer money via garbage bags or an actual bank
and fucking rmb is dirty as fuck (physically lol)
Also china blocked out visa/mastercard so alipay/wechat pay filled the niche naturally.

It makes sense for this large merchant in Richmond to adopt Alipay. With mainland tourists/residents, those platforms are engrained in their day-to-day transaction.
I wonder how much they are charging the merchant (here in canada) per transaction though? It seems like Alipay is subcontracting their service to local IoT providers.

AliPay/WeChat Pay are both debit solutions. The credit system in China is still in its infancy comparing to what we have over here.
And if one starts to study how credit system is set up to be, you'd see that the one in "primitive" is actually AliPay, as it's just + and - from accounts to accounts.

I'm not gonna transfer 100k without due dilligence if I don't know how deeply integrated WeChat and Alipay is with the central government in China
it would be nice if we can develop something similar, but that alone is good enough of a reason to keep them out Quote:

Just use my wechat to pay for my meals and bought something from the supermarket. Haven't ask the store to help me out money in my account though. Next I want to try to use the China version of uber.

no one use Credit cards here anymore (china) pretty much just bring your phone and you can pay for everything and do everything from it. I only need to bring cash for the remaining few parking lots that only accept cash.

Just use my wechat to buy more GB for my sim card and pay for shipping my friend some stuff. My parents on the other hand have no money in their we chat and still use cash. Some store don't accept cash lol so they aren't too happy. Just one of things China does that makes it hard for tourist to enjoy their stay.
