歐博思 Posted May 24, 2015 at 09:53 AM Report Posted May 24, 2015 at 09:53 AM My ICBC Quickpass card is quite useful in China, but it's incompatible with anything VISA/Mastercard, etc. As a foreigner, what are my options for getting a card (either credit or debit) thru ICBC that would work on those networks for online purchases? I'm going to the bank to check on this maybe tomorrow, just want to think about options in advance. VISA electron seems not accepted in many online shopping situations, so this card seems out of the question http://www.icbc.com.cn/icbc/bank%20card/introduction/debitcard/peonyinternationaldebitcard/ Quote
歐博思 Posted November 3, 2015 at 09:09 AM Author Report Posted November 3, 2015 at 09:09 AM Ended up getting a U.S. card during the summer. However, as an update, just got a message from 工商银行 today saying I could apply for a credit card with them now, about 1.5 years since opening my account with them. Quote
889 Posted November 3, 2015 at 10:52 AM Report Posted November 3, 2015 at 10:52 AM I'd always thought getting a credit card from a Mainland bank was impossible for a foreigner because the national credit rating system only uses Chinese ID numbers. Has that changed? Quote
