They are also provided with wallet protection insurance, which offers protection when the wallet and items inside the wallet are stolen.
MasterCard division president for China Dennis Chang said: “In the three decades that MasterCard has been in China, we have remained committed to staying ahead of market trends and developing innovative payment products and solutions that make people’s lives simpler, more rewarding, and secure.
