(China Daily) Updated: 2012-12-06 03:16BEIJING - China will soon reveal its technical standards for mobile payments as the method becomes more popular in the country, a central bank senior official said on Wednesday.
Li Dongrong, vice governor of the People's Bank of China (PBOC), China's central bank, made the comment at a forum on mobile payment in Beijing.
Mobile payment refers to paying through mobile devices, mainly cellphones which send orders to the buyer's bank account to finish the transaction.
