Problem we have to solve is how to top up your alipay account so that you can use it. Some blogger successfully managed to open a prc local bank account with his passport and a local address just to try out the top up function. This is usually out of reach for most of us unless you have a relative staying in China and can "borrow" the address. https://www.scmp.com/business/article/3036366/alipay-launches-international-e-wallet-giving-foreigners-access-electronic?utm_content=article&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1572955510 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top up of cash is mainly for cash withdrawal overseas right? More keen on their credit cards for spending with better exchange rates then all the other banks.

Was only rejected at one location. I must have charged it at like 10-15 places at least. There's also another Revolut card nowadays It's a debit card.
