I just tried to link the Bigpay to my Malaysia wallet for the 1st time. Guess what? It says Bigpay is not a Malaysian debit card and declined.

I think starting early this year, to activate china wallet u need china bank card. Before this, anyone can get this feature

Interesting statistics. No wonder Tencent so rich.

Sorry...Malaysia Wallet already confirmed cannot link with BigPay. Only Debit card from local bank are allowed.

BigPay can only link to China wallet as international credit card.

I activate outside of China in Malaysia before my Malaysia wallet was activated.

BigPay is not a debit card right?
It's a prepaid card card.

Yes

Plus u need a China mobile number

BigPay is not Malaysian?

Can u link a Malaysian Credit Card? Or only Malaysian Debit Card?

I can link my Malaysia CC to China wallet but serves no purpose, cannot use in China. Only China cards linked or angpau in RMB can be used in China.

Since there is no way I can get a Wechat China wallet, can we use Alipay instead as a tourist to China?

Hmm. Only if it's AliPay China account I guess. I didn't have the chance to use earlier as I cannot verify account but I have "semi-verified" my account without China card. Earlier I can't receive from and transfer fund to AliPay users. Now I can receive and transfer fund (using existing money in my wallet) to my China AliPay friends. I haven't gone to China again this year which I usually do annually due to my different business travel schedule.

Is Alipay as widely used as Wechat for taxi and street vendors etc in China? Got to find a way for China usage.

While I do have a China bank card, I don't have a China mobile number.

Yes, they co-exist with each other, whenever AliPay is accepted, WeChat will be accepted too. Hence I survived without AliPay in China. That's what I want to see happening in Malaysia and not tonnes of half baked e-wallets.

Tomorrow will be revenue IPO listing !!! so far haven't try yet the wechat E wallet

Revenue Monster is subsidiary of Revenue group Berhad?

NO Relationships at all

Revenue Harvest do not have wechat ewallet acquring

i read that a lot of us cannot activate China wallet because no bank account in China. I also dont have China account but somehow my China wallet still works, dont know is it because I activated my China wallet few years earlier. Anyway, I heard that now foreign travellers are very diffiucult to open bank account in China using travellers visa. Anyone of you succeed in opening one recently? In addition, I am also wondering if we really manage to open bank account in China, is there any annual fee? (a bit off topic I know, heheh)
