Paying in China: QR wallets help

The Moreta Pay app lets you top up from your own card and scan local QR codes. All-in it costs about 4.5% (currency exchange + top-up + app fee), often close to what banks charge for foreign ATM withdrawals. Compare with your own bank's fees; skipping the cash runs is the real win. moretapay.com
