Chinese credit preferences

[img_assist|nid=8410|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=100|height=80] When choosing a credit card, Chinese consumers are more preoccupied with where they can pay bankcard bills than with other matters, a study reveals. 63 percent of respondents claim they are concerned about satisfactory ways to pay card bills, at ATMs, bank branches or convenience stores. 55 percent of those surveyed are preoccupied with card safety.

Nearly half of those involved in the study take into account the card brand when choosing a credit card and almost the same percentage takes into consideration annual fees. Nearly 30 percent of respondents are interested in reward points, while about 12.6 percent in gifts that come with cards.Data was provided by research company Analysys.
