It’s usually something like this: when you want to make an online payment you either have to use PayPal or one of the several debit cards. But when you want to pay for a local product back home, you may have to use mobile money or cold hard cash. But wait, for business people who want to transact business with China. They have to go through tedious bank wire procedures. And in all of these processes, there are irrational decisions made, loss of time and money. It’s overwhelming.
