Credit card service
Credit cards can be used at large shopping malls and major restaurants in Beijing. However, cash is required at most other places. During the Beijing 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games, a Visa Service Centre (VSC) will provide everyday assistance and multi-linguistic emergency services to card
holders. Automated Teller Machines (ATM) and Point-of-sale (POS) machines will be available within Olympic venues and non-competition venues, such as the International Press Centre, the International Broadcast Center and the Olympic Village, to facilitate payment and the withdrawal of RMB.
