Try it and tell us whether it works or not.

Maybe it works now for wechat with the new findings in the Alipay thread where you tried and got Alipay balance transfer working. No harm trying. :)

No issues linking my OCBC Titanium Credit Card.

Try the other way using Passport.

Wechat -- Me -- Wechat Pay

Click the "..." on the upper right corner.

Real-Name authentication

Input your passport info.

Still by right you will still need a China bank card in the end. But not so sure if they relax the regulation or not.

You will not be able to top up with a Singapore credit card or debit card. It is useful only for certain use cases like Didi, 12306, Ctrip etc.

For now go to the Alipay thread and set up Tour Pass. That works fine. You may even get Alipay balance working if you have friends with proper Alipay account linking to a China bank card.

Of course there is a limit but you will not know in this case. Foreign credit/debit cards are not officially supported by Wechat Pay for general use cases yet, they are only officially supported in limit use cases like Didi, 12306, Ctrip, etc.

I am not sure if this works for you or not. Do not be surprised that it works for some users but not the other users.

For Wechat wallet users with supported China bank card, the transfer limit is very high at RMB200k per day but the real limit depends on the bank as well. Some banks may have lower limit say RMB50k per day.

https://kf.qq.com/touch/faq/1505256nY7fA150525MbaYfm.html

The limit for Wechat balance payment is lower, for Class 2 account, it is RMB100k per year. Class 1 account (with one bank card linked) is only RMB1000 per year.

Ask your friend with Wechat wallet to send you RMB1.0 and then try real name verification by adding the Singapore Band Card, and probably Passport and Selfie photo. This should enable the Wechat Pay.

Wechat pay still won't work in China with a Singapore credit card. It's greyed out in my wallet... despite the announcement last week. Alipay's tourpass is the only option but bear in mind of the 3% exchange rate (somebody in this forum pointed put better rate with Youpay?). Tried paying for coffee and it didn't work.

Plus, the limit is RMB2,000. Once your spending maxed out, they won't allow you to top up anymore. I finished 2K in just a week on a shoestring budget. It isn't practical but it's a good start. Cash is still widely acceptable.

I just did that for one of my wechat account love linked to a Starhub prepaid sim and a OCBC credit card. They are asking for Passport Number but did not ask for uploading the document.

Now the wallet function is activated. But the international credit card use cares are limited. I just tried, can not top up using Red Packet or Transfer (grayed out), so in reality not very useful now.

It is mentioned Youtrip card has better rate.

Yes indeed Cash is still widely accepted. Hopefully the limit on Alipay Tour Pass will be gradually increased.

Hopefully WeChat international credit card use cases can be increased gradually as well. That is what Tencent mentioned in the news release.
