Paying in China: QR wallets help

QR payments are everywhere in China: taxi and rideshare drivers, restaurants, hotels, even small shops. No local bank account? 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
