Can I check for those who already can do wechat pay in China, are you also able to pay in Singapore with your wechat?

In my case; Singapore phone number + Chinese bank card unable to use in Singapore, such as the fresh orange juice vending machines or payment on Steam. But I managed to use it in China though
My Chinese phone number + Chinese bank card can be used in Singapore + China
Hi guys
I am abit confused regarding wechat pay. hopefully someone can lend a helping hand here.
1) Can I just link my non-china (Revolut Visa in my case) credit card to wechat pay and then scan QR code and pay for anything using that credit card in china via wechat pay? Something like paypal.
2) If no, does it mean I have to top up my wechat pay wallet via my Revolut visa and use the wallet balance to pay for things in china?
Reading the previous posts here, wechatpay using international credit card is limited to things like transport only, street vendors/merchants not allowed. Is this true for both cases 1 and 2 I stated above?
If possible, I would like to be able to use option 1. Directly takes from my Revolut Visa without having to top up my wallet.
Thanks guys..
can topup via katochat if cant receive red packet?
You mean Katocard or some 3rd party top up services, right?
Yes I hear that they are still working— no idea how they work though. And take note they are not authorised by either Tencent or Singapore authorities.
The exchange rate may be bad as well.
If you only need small amount, sign up AliPay Tourpass, up to RMB5000 and valid for 90days.
ya typo. i mean katocard. u tried b4 and worked? My friend tried to send me red packet but i cannot redeem.
I do not want to try unauthorized services myself.
I still got enough balance in my Wechat Wallet (RMB2600) so no hurry for me to fix the top up issues. I can not top up either but I can at least spend the balance slowly, for my app payment and street vendor payment for the upcoming annual trip to China.
Just tried charging 50rmb with NPN. Couldnt receive the red packet. Wasted $12.
anyone knows how to transfer rmb to china bank account (non prc)?
Just go through the remit services.
which remit service? most of them only do so for prc citizens
Yup just maintain about 500 RMB inside.
Btw take note that many remittance services now can only remit funds to China accounts registered to mainland China IDs. Before last weekend BOC sg can still transfer to China accounts opened with passports. Apparently there was a new regulation in China few days ago. The ones below will not work:
- DBS China remit
- BOC sg RMB pre-settlement account
- Worldremit
- Transferwise
- Worldfirst
Xendpay still works for now.
