W: Ten years ago, everyone in China carried around a lot of cash with them. Credit cards were still not common, and most sellers did not have machines to accept bank cards. Nowadays, credit cards are still not as common as they are in the West, but China has advanced past the Western world in one respect: nearly everyone who has a smart phone in China also has an account with Alibaba.com or Wechat. Alibaba.com and Wechat are two of China’s largest and most successful Internet companies. Alipay and Wechat Pay can be linked to a bank account. Sending and receiving money is as simple as a few touches on a phone. And China is rapidly becoming a cashless society. Even people on the corner selling street snacks accept mobile payments these days. Using your phone as your wallet is much safer than carrying a lot of cash with you, and it’s easier to keep track of how much you spend. It is only a matter of time before Wechat Pay and Alipay begin to challenge the American company Paypal for customers outside China. At least for now, China is setting a pretty good example.
