Check my reply above, it finally appeared.

Thanks for helping btw.

It's already available now, and I didn't have to submit any identity stuffs, just enter my card info and I'm all set.

Mine is on version 6.6.6 btw.

Nothing much to explore at the moment.

I don't see that in mine though, only transaction / add card / pin management.

Probably will be available in the next update.

Quick update here, alright here's the thing that happened...

On the first try, this was the interface



After that I tried to log out and re-login again cuz I felt that maybe I need to do this to refresh something, and it froze with a black screen for like few minutes and after that I got the new interface, looks like this is the legit one, now I gotta enter my card info again.

Probably not yet, gotta wait for their official announcement of their launch here.

Nope, you can't do that at the moment.

Is it really necessary to verify personal info though?

Not really, I'm on v6.6.6 and I'm all set for the Malaysia Wallet, are you on an activated China Wallet now?

Wondering if it also enables us to make payment which straight deducts from the bank account.

Btw, I'm waiting for the SMS code for verification, 3 times already and no SMS code received. Damn.

Have you tried re-login?

In the Wallet, try looking for the four square thing or check three dots to see if there's any possible option to change the region.

Otherwise, you'll have to wait for a bit.

Problem is that there's no hongbao option for newly activated users. However, I did see that during the identity verification process, there's the "red packet" option in "Use of Funds". So, I suppose it will be available soon for Malaysia Wallet.

Btw, are you using PC or phone? Maybe I can guide you on how to post images here if you're interested.

I filled in everything to verify identification but until the last page, I couldn't receive SMS code which I have tried like 4 times until it notified me to try again later. Damn.

Unfortunately no, at least for the time being. China and Malaysia Wallet operate separately as for now.

BigPay is a totally different payment system as it uses Mastercard and it's a prepaid card.

Usage will definitely be low at the moment because Tencent themselves still haven't made an official announcement of the launch here yet, so the awareness is still low. However, you'll be surprised to know that the anticipation for it is actually quite high in our country, pretty sure many are envious about the cashless experience in China, and now it's here, give it some time to grow. So far local e wallet apps suck, basically not worth giving attention to, Boost and Favepay is acceptable but it's far from being decent. If Wechat Pay suffers the same fate as the local ones, which I doubt it will, then we would have to use cash for probably the next few decades lol.

Btw, I'm on Android, I don't think it matters though, I've heard some can activate their Wallet on iOS and some couldn't on Android.

I still can't receive the SMS code for verification until now, dafuq is wrong with their server?

So far the only one that's progressing the most is Boost, but it's still far from being a proper e wallet solution. One thing in common for local e wallet apps, they only know how to launch their app but don't make it work, the purpose of e wallet is to replace our physical wallet, providing us a convenient way of making payments. I've used the local ones before, they're really shit, there are 3 common things that will happen...

1. Merchant doesn't support the e wallet you're using
2. Merchant is hesitant to let you use it
3. Merchant doesn't support any e wallet at all

We have like more than 10 local e wallet apps running here, so are they expecting people to install 10 e wallet apps and manage the 10 of them?

They only know how to flood the market with their app instead of improving it. Take a look at China, they only have 2 major e wallet apps and people there use it everyday, and it's supported like everywhere.

I hope Wechat can change it, since they have the experience and the budget.

Fave doesn't seem bad either, and since they're on some partnership with Boost, I wonder why they don't merge into one service? Surely bigger coverage will lead to bigger community. I have yet to uninstall Boost, since they're from the locals and quite progressive I'm giving them a chance, so hope they can do something before Wechat Pay takes off here.

BigPay is an entirely different system actually, it's a prepaid card that uses the app to track your transactions of what you buy. Other ones like KiplePay, TnG, MaybankQR, vCash, One2Pay, Mcash, you name it...they should just close down really.

Seems like you're still on China Wallet, try logout and re-login, you might see a 'Wallet' appear in your 'Me' section.

If nothing changes, wait for their official launch on 11th June.

It's not that hard really, just fit the IC into the camera frame, make sure it's clear and there's not much reflection and you're good to go.


Technically it's not our Alipay, cuz we can't even use it here lol. They seriously made a bad decision to collab with TnG, TnG app is just downright crap currently.

Rilek la...

Now still morning.

If I'm not wrong, Google Pay has extra charge fee to the merchant, there's a reason why it's still not mainstream even in their own homeland US, doubt it will be any different if it launches here, if it ever launches here of course.
