Beijing Capital International Airport and Beijing Daxing International Airport, the two airports in the Chinese capital, have launched dedicated payment service centers for the convenience of overseas travelers.
The centers, which were inaugurated on Monday, are strategically located near the exit of the international arrival halls at the airports and offer a wide range of services to cater to the diverse payment needs of foreign visitors.
Their primary objective is to offer comprehensive payment consultation and guidance to foreign visitors who arrive in Beijing. Travelers can seek assistance for downloading mobile payment applications and using ATMs for cash withdrawal, among other services.
A key feature of the Capital airport's payment service center is an automated currency exchange machine. According to the two staff members at the center, the machine can interact with users in eight languages and exchange 21 currencies, effectively meeting the cash needs of a majority of overseas visitors. In addition, the center has an ATM for cash withdrawal services.
Currently, the two airports collectively host five bank outlets, seven manned currency exchange counters, 24 ATMs and one automated currency exchange machine, while most businesses at the airports accept foreign bank cards.
