## Alipay Reviews in United Kingdom

### *---- "更新后一横最小的扫码控件没了"
省下的的全都广告
-- 激漾, 2024-12-27

### *---- "垃圾软件"
不要用这sb软件
-- zian233, 2024-12-03

### ***** "Mr"
Good
-- MM ZAHID, 2024-10-18

### *---- "Impossible!"
Just trying to purchase a packet of Oreo’s! It would be easier and less painful to inject my eye with ink using a spoon.
-- Userofnoname, 2024-10-12

### *---- "10.6.0禁止大陆身份证实名的用户切换app到国际版"
不要更新，更新之后如果你切换到祖国版，再想切换回去就只能降级应用了
-- Buzzou🧀, 2024-06-11

### ***** "Outstanding Payment App for China"
Alipay is one of the two main cashless payment systems used in China and unlike its main competitor, it’s easy to set up.

It accepts multiple forms of ID, including the Chinese green card, doesn’t constantly ask you to confirm your identity when you’re trying to make a purchase and is widely accepted for both payment and receiving money.
-- Zathraus, 2023-12-19

### *---- "认证问题"
我想问为什么我用马来西亚护照认证后会自动跳转到中国银行卡认证？我没有中国银行卡认证不了尝试了好几次就变成账号异常？有什么方法可以帮到我吗
-- ahmaysanz, 2023-12-19

### **--- "Need to highlight the restrictions for foreigners better."
Last time I was in China this worked a dream and was a life saver. But now it seems it doesn’t actually work the same way anymore. You can add a foreign card and use it to pay at point of purchase but you can’t top up with it. Point that out clearly at the beginning and you’ll solve a lot of the issues people are having. I don’t know why they changed this to Chinese cards only for top up. Seems to have reduced it’s functionality.
-- How about this nickname?, 2023-12-03

### *---- "Impossible to setup for a foreigner"
Can’t use this awful app without verifying identity which is impossible to do with the method used to capture passport image. It always comes back as blurry or reflective. Guess I won’t be spending any of my money in China!
-- Sllea, 2023-11-16

### **--- "Absolutely useless"
I gave them an extra star as initial setup is more straightforward than WeChat, however it will randomly block your card when doing mini-app transactions or scan-to-pay transactions and then take money from your back-up account without telling you. Customer support is worse than useless as I need to upload a bank statement to unlock my account which is being rejected. I would say to avoid like the plague but unfortunately AliPay is a necessity for paying for things in China.
-- laowai89, 2023-11-09

### ***** "真的很方便"
更本不用带现金
-- 一直飘着, 2023-09-24

### **--- "Updating"
When they do an update it literally takes more than two months during that time you cannot do some of the functions in the app which makes it super annoying.
-- The guy that is alive now, 2023-08-21

### ***** "Excellent app for use in China"
Lifesaver for foreign visitors to China. It allows you you to pay wherever Alipay is accepted (just about anywhere in China) as creditcards and Apple Pay are much less commonly used than in Europe. It links to your (non Chinese)visa/ Mastercard and payments are taken directly from the card, but vendors never get to see any card details. You make payments by scanning the vendors Alipay code or they use their payment machine to scan the code in the app. Occasionally a bit slow outside the main urban centres, but that is probably the fault of slow internet/ poor signal rather than the app. Highly recommended
-- jvdh11, 2023-08-09

### **--- "蚂蚁新村的贴罚单能不能取消啊啊"
这个功能有点烦人
-- AB86QX, 2023-08-07

### *---- "Hopeless"
An awful app only good if you have a Chinese bank account. You could use TourCard but it presents another set of convoluted issues during registration which are too complicated to write down. Give up!!
-- Htcvdjubvcthj, 2023-08-07

### *---- "Impossible to use as a tourist/foreigner"
Requires a Chinese bank account, no way around it. If you try scanning a passport instead, it reads your middle name as a surname, decides it’s fraud, and that’s the end of it. Forget paying for anything in Chinese shops or using the transport systems. Computer says no.
-- knobodyknows, 2023-07-25

### *---- "Just poor wouldn’t use if any other choice in China"
Just poor to be honest. Managed to get it to work & card registered, but even the international version is basically entirely in Chinese so it’s extremely difficult to use for a non Chinese speaker to pay for things in China as at almost every stage of payment your greeted with a screen with options that’s entirely in Chinese. So screenshots & translate needed to work out what your supposed to be doing.
-- Mister Bell of the shire, 2023-07-12

### *---- "Horrible"
Sms confirmation for id verification doesnt even work
-- Gdksiudishxiakaye, 2023-06-30

### *---- "Bad"
It worked at first but now my identity has been verifying for months some how it says it will be done with in 3 days this was months ago and still says the same thing…. Someone who works with alipay help me i need help
-- Freeddieefj, 2023-06-30

### *---- "No privacy at all"
They will continue to monitor you after you uninstalled them
-- 더듖퐤, 2023-06-12
