Mobile payment apps are surging in popularity as an easy way to pay for smaller items such as taxi rides and movie tickets. #China


Urban, affluent, internet-savvy Chinese consumers are even more wild about plastic. #cash #credit


But despite all that, MasterCard found in a recent global study that China is making the shift “from cash to cashless” very rapidly.


Very low rates of street crime make China, paradoxically, one of the safest countries for carrying around large wads of cash.


China has a staggering 4.2bn bank cards in circulation, enough for every mainlander to have at least three.


The shift away from cash is remarkable for a country which was the first to print paper money a millennium ago.
