With major players like Alipay, WeChat and Apple Pay becoming popular, it seems to be a safe bet that a change in consumer payment technology is coming soon.CNN reporter Paul Ripley experienced a day in Beijing without his wallet. "In Chinas largest cities, you can definitely survive without carrying a pocket full of cash and credit cardsas long as youve got your smartphone.” He paid for breakfast by scanning a QR code on the window of a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. All he had to do was to enter a password and the transaction was complete.Unlike the situations in the US and other countries, “China doesnt have a really money-making credit card system, so Chinese people just skipped credit cards and went straight to mobile payments."Gu Yu, co-founder of the new payment app Mileslife, told CNN. He also pointed out the advantages of mobile payments. "No coins or bills that can be lost or stolen, electronic receipts, the ease of keeping track of spendingand of course, no wallet taking up space.” he said.However，if we want to make e-wallets a mainstream trend, a lot of things will have to change over the coming years. Perhaps one of the most important things that need to be changed is how people regard e-wallets. Linda Barrabee, research director for NPD Connected Intelligence, said in a statement."In order to promote on-the-go consumer transactions and commerce, wireless carriers, credit card companies, and e-commerce companies need to make sure the process is convenient, simple, and secure for consumers."32.
