Mastercard and JD.com have launched two payment services in mainland China for inbound visitors, allowing them to link bank cards issued overseas to the JD.com app and pay through JD Pay without a mainland bank card or local payment tool. Eligible visitors can also complete a credit card pre-authorization through a tax refund agency before departure and receive an equivalent VAT refund amount in advance.
