Las Vegas may be gateway for mobile payments in the US
International tourists, especially from China, may provide a boost to mobile payments usage in Las Vegas, especially as the city is now connected to Beijing via a nonstop route with Hainan Airlines. Las Vegas will be "one of the key markets" for expanding Alipay and WeChat Pay acceptance, according to Chuck Huang, founder and CEO of Citicon, Alipay's only authorised in-store partner in North America. In China, some 40% of consumers pay for goods and services using their mobile phones each week. Only 19% of Americans made any in-store mobile payments last year, according to a study by Accenture.
