it or. the death of the bank card looks ny in china where the payments have searched in popularity meanwhile chinese electronic pay service has tripled the number of its european merchants evangelise obsessed reports on the trend. so i'm buying this item with one of the most common payment apps here in china ali pay. there it is i just speak straight for my full answer they are a bank account and no banks between us and then no way there is any bank that made out of my transaction so you're probably wondering now how does this all works like this item for simply $0.60 us if i use my bank account which will be connected to us payment i would have to actually pay a certain fee for it and if i bought it offline. i now would have to pay up to 2 percent if i bought it online i would have to pay 2.3 to 2.5 percent even if i used
2:24 pm
apple pay i would still have to pay a certain amount a fee because it's connected to my bacon but i'm currently in china and i don't even need a bank account to buy this item so we went around and asked people to see how often they use payment apps such as alley pay and we chat and whether they even have a big account at all i use my bio payment food to $50.00 times a day or use we charge it's so convenient. convenient we. get around twist nothing but to my phone. i have friends and we chat it's convenient for transferring money to them but chinese mobile payment apps are not only limited within china there are now spreading outwards and so the united states and canada i only play which is the largest chinese company in its field is now operating in the united states and canada but it's only limiting itself for chinese tourists there but just the thought that this company or these type of companies could potentially be spreading outwards outside of china is bringing big headaches

to u.s. banking businesses according to a new report the banks are set to make 43 dollars 2020 from transaction fees in the united states alone so if these ups managed to get a similar market share in the united states as they enjoy here in china that would be big sis for those banks so more and more of these questions now are popping up with the most common one being do we really need retail banking in our everyday life is a question that the baking in there she would rather you were asking americans might block a particular chinese company who's but they complicate the overall trend and i think as opposed to being an instance not so much of a single firm monopoly is an industry sector monopoly of course now we have the presidents of. being blocked by america on the telecommunications argument which is slightly digital meant but at the same time it's because china has a large leap on america in this technology of china's apps. i'm sure they'll do something to block them as is all part of trumps tribal so it's more likely going to work is if those companies lawson's this off with other companies biased in
2:26 pm
europe or maybe even america or if all the companies just basically emulate what the chinese applications are doing and therefore will still be a danger to the banks. and i'm going to buy that state thanks thing with ati all that that with no inhofe and out. in a world of big partisan lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the
