Chinese Worry About Where To Pay Card Bills, Survey Suggests

 Chinese consumers worry more about where they can pay bankcard bills than other factors when choosing credit cards, suggest survey data from Analysys International, a Beijing-based research company. The findings, based on 3,974 questionnaires sent in March to adult Internet users in China, show that 63% of respondents were concerned about convenient ways to pay card bills-whether at ATMs, bank branches or convenience stores. Fifty-five percent of respondents said they worried about card safety. About half of respondents said they considered the card brand when choosing a credit card, while nearly the same percentage considered annual fees. Almost 30% said they were concerned with reward points, while about 12.6% cared about gifts that come with cards.
