Found this service that helps to top up the wallet via hong bao but at a higher service fee.

https://www.qoo10.sg/gmkt.inc/Goods/Goods.aspx?goodscode=644867073

Does anyone have another alternative?

Hi, sorry noob question.
You mentioned about using Fomo pay and also this hong bao, and that you have cash in your wechat wallet.
Does it mean you have linked your account with China issued bank card? Because i'm under the impression that that is the requirement for it to work.

yes i have some money in my wc. that dont require a local bank acct, just need someone to transfer you money to your wc.

but without local bank acct you cant so a lot of things like money transfer out.

ah i did tried Fomo pay before actually. Didn't work so i requested for refund.

i'm actually quite tempted to try the hong bao from qoo10 cos i'm considering that it's similar to a friend sending hong bao. But then it stated there need to have china bank linked to account.

I also just found out there are sellers on shopee.my that does top-up services
https://shopee.com.my/search?keyword=代付But then will need Malaysia shopee account for that.

the qoo10 doesnt need any bank account. they will give you qr codes. your friend just need to scan it to redeem. but a lot of limitations...can only redeem 1 qr every day...and they only have 50 and 200 rmb values.

The fee will be quite high if top up after a few time.

This one's been discussed to death. Think of this in reverse. If one can transfer funds out directly to a foreign account, it would be a loophole in Chinese monetary policy and many Chinese would be taking advantage. .

No.

Actually you will not even be able to receive Angbao in the first place without a China bank account now (unless some third party help you).

My wechat account (without link to China bank card, only to a Singapore credit card) still has a little bit of balance.

Previously I was not able to receive/send red packets or transfer, but I was able to pay for QQ Music VIP annual fee. Now even that is not possible.

When I tried to pay for QQ Music renewal, only the SG credit card is allowed, not the balance. Luckily I spent most of the balance before 2018 and only left with RMB 213.

So the good thing is that you can use SG Credit for things like app purchase (but not for red packet or transfer or street vendor).

Ref: real-name authentication is required to for users of WeChat Wallet (RMB). The real enforcement is in 2018 but getting more and more strict.

Just wondering what you can do even if they can top up your account?

I do not know how this service works thiugh. I guess they have some spare China bank account and temporary link to your wechat account to top up and then unlink the bank account.

So you may need to spend the money fast (if you can do that at all). If not soon your money will get stick in the account.

As one the Qoo10 listing, you must spend the amount within 7 days.

If it kind of activate the wechat account for 7 days for all your balance, this is really worth it if you have higher amount stuck in the wechat account.

Looking at the important notice in the Qoo10 link, I think it will not work at all. It says that you need to link to a China bank card for the service to work. If you have legitimate China bank to link, then you do not need this service in the first place.

I added a GrabPay Mastercard to my wechat App, card had been successfully added,

However Unable to use the Grab mastercard inside the WeChat
APP to :
1) Transfer funds to another wechat user
2) Top up my Wechat wallet

Then what is the point of adding the card... ? is this normal ?
