A few things he did not mention. To use the transport function a real name verification is requires. A passport scan which every time i get the message that its blur and has reflection and so the authentication fails. Then a photo of your face is required to match the passport picture - facial recognition and this is another nightmare. tried so many times and failed
These are very important questions. Why isn't there an answer? 1) International cards didn’t accept, what to do with that? 2) Is it important to add id card or passport info? 3) Do you need internet service to use Alipay? Much appreciated if these are clarified.
Question: If I added a binding of credit card to Alipay, then, purchases with Alipay in China is just like using my credit card back in the US, am I right? Will the purchases with my Alipay in China show up on the same credit statement we see in the US, in US$ and not in RMB? According to your experience, do banks/credit cards deliberately used exchange rates favorable to themselves?
