Starting Friday, visitors are able to link their Visa\n \n and Mastercard\n \n accounts to China’s most popular mobile payment platforms, allowing them to book taxis, ride the subway and pay for goods and services at millions of outlets across the near-cashless country.

And more than 80% of the transactions for daily consumption take place on mobile platforms, according to figures from Chinese card payment company UnionPay. Alipay and WeChat Pay are dominant in digital payment services, accounting for a combined 91% market share. But for most foreign visitors, accessing the apps’ services was previously impossible — they needed to have a mainland Chinese bank account and a local mobile phone number.
