Wechat wallet

[absolut777]

Ok I've been able to add credit card to my wife WeChat wallet, but any further (receive ang pow) needs verification by sending passport details. When it came to OTP it won't send to SG number .

Am I missing something?

Answer to most of the questions can be found in the Wechat and Alipay apps.

Posting update. I reached Shanghai and updated passport with telco on first day (but no bank asked for it later on). Then I updated WeChatpay and Alipay. Thereafter over the next two days I updated passport details with the three banks. Everything went smoothly. However I am bummed because my verified account on Douyin and Meituan can’t accept a change in passport (Douyin says they now only accept Chinese nationals as account holders and Meituan advises me to cancel my account and re-register).

this means I cannot add bank cards to these two platforms (paying directly sometimes let you use vouchers etc as opposed to via Alipay and WeChat). Oh well!

Douyin you don't need to 实名认证 to spend money what. I'm living with that issue. Still can buy their stuffs . No issue leh

I registered douyin somewhere within this year. Meituan then long time ago

No need, only if you wish to buy from offshore stores OR if you wish to add your direct bank cards and bypass Alipay/ WeChatpay (which is in my case).

Like this ?

Payment side I can clear the 实名认证 but not on the profile side. Like buying from popmart in douyin requires 实名认证。that one always failed.

If you buy like supplements also need 实名认证

Recent reports that WeChat Wallet linked to Singapore Bank Issued Credit Card failed to pay for Tencent TV VIP Membership renewal. Strange. It was working in 2024.

Not so sure if there is any workaround or not. Thanks.

anyone able to renew the subscription for Tencent TV?

I'm trying to use wechat to renew but when go to payment page, it show that international card not supported.

Not sure if Tencent had made some adjustment to their payment system. I remember last year i'm still able to use Wechat to pay.

I had the same issue with qq music.. Was able to pay last year but a last mth when i wanted to renew, payment failed with wechat pay.. Tried using android/ pc also cannot. Gave up and use apple music instead.
