Few Day Before my Regional wallet activate, I was able to add BigPay to the China Wallet and verified. And, the BigPay card still attached to the china wallet, but I did not try to top up as I duno where I going to spend this after top up.

Now, I got my Malaysia region wallet activate and was successfully added a BSN debit card.

So now I have both China and Malaysia wallet which previously none of them show in my wechat.

Just to share my experience.

FYI, I was charge 0.33 yuan when added BigPay to China Region Wallet (it is about RM0.20 for BigPay Rate....see BigPay exchange rate quite good as well) May be next time go China can try to use it as an option.

It seem like the China Wallet will only activate when you got money or card link to it. Therefore, I think if you really want to see the China wallet then you have to ask someone to sent you some RMB or Yuan to your wechat....I think it should work.

But, I not sure you can use China wallet here in Malaysia even though some of the merchant here do accept wechat through terminal...I saw on youtube someone had try and not successfully. You can use China wallet (for non China people) only as peer to peer transfer only.

Agree...don't even border to top up until they had open up at least peer to peer transfer. At this moment totally unable to do anything with the wallet.

But, I think it will not be long. When I first switch from China to Malaysia wallet...I had seen the wechat add section show "Hong Bao" and "Transfer" as a new feature but when I click the app just crash. So I think the feature is there already, just waiting them to choose a good time to activate it.

I think this is a good move for them, because many countries has their own regulation to be fulfilled to avoid money laundering. And, there is no point if local wallet cannot even to be use at other country for the same type of e-wallet.

Therefore, I think if wechat pay allowed us to tie international debit/credit card to their china wallet (which they already done) and let whoever have China wallet to use at all over the world merchant that accept wechat pay would be better than only have Malaysia wallet to use only at Malaysia Only.

Thirdly, if they can integrate a Currency Exchange Calculator into their wallet (Just like what Alipay did it) for ease to pay in other currency.

And like Alipay and BigPay, try to provide the user best real time exchange rate without any hidden or surcharge.

I don't see why they cannot use the China Wallet to conquer the world with cashless RMB/yuan. Just like the US dollar bills.

Since they had already have allot of out of the box app or hardware that could be use immediately with RMB...can export out to all over the world.

I think they already saw Alipay move toward this direction therefore they also make the change accordingly.

May ask your friend try to transfer some RMB to you instead of ang pow. As I know if you not collect the ang pow within 24hrs it will be cancel.
If you can received the RMB transfer from your friend I sure the money need to be store on some where. I bet it cannot store on your MY wallet.

if you activate the China Wallet for your Malaysia mobile prior the Malaysia Wallet then you will have the option to choose. If not you will only see Malaysia wallet.

So far I manage to add BigPay credit card to the China Wallet but not sure can use to top up or not.

Malaysia wallet cannot use for China.

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.

Yes

I already did it...u can try n see. I haven't use to top up anyway...coz I did not use China Wallet.

I tied the BigPay with wechat China Wallet just for testing purpose only...

Ooopss...tat too bad... I don't see why they are not allowed since visa/master are able to transact all over the world...

Anyway, just ignore the BigPay card to link with Wechat Pay thing...

I'm going to unlink it too...haha

GREAT NEW!!! Just found my wechat with Malaysia Wallet now can sent "Ang Pow" to ppl...

Not sure is true or not...so far I only found this new feature on ios device.

I have another account using android wechat with Malaysia Wallet, but still not found the "ang pow" is activated...

Thn, my android wechat Malaysia wallet which cannot switch region to China still not yet see the ang pow feature wo...

But, my ios wechat Malaysia wallet which can switch region to China one got ang pow feature already...

So, may be the trick is switch region....haha

So, i guess may be out there still got allot of ppl still not yet get this feature

Look like need to wait another month for other to see it...hahaha

Hope wechat Pay MY can roll out more features faster....

Not only Boost is promoting aggressively ...GrabPay MY also catching up fast from behind liao...even the slowest Touch n Go app is testing Transit QR code with LRT already...

No doubt Boost is a head of allot of local eWallet, but the game play still early to determine who will be going to be the mainstream....because allot of early merchant adoption for eWallet are still those merchant who already have credit card terminal...

Why I will said Boost is a head is because I see they put allot of effort on those food truck and night market, but I not sure how is the adoption because I still haven't see or use boost on those merchant...these are the places that really need the ewallet cashless solutions....but still majority of Boost merchant are those with shop and have existing credit card terminal...to user I no see much advantage of pulling out your phone instead of your card to pay without cash.

So, I think who will win the game is who can convince most of the merchant without accessibility to credit card terminal...so i think the game is still long way to go...

The Pro for wechat Pay is it already integrate with your daily use messaging app...so actually if you are not wechat user totally meaningless to you or if you are we chat user thn before you decided to use any ewallet wechat Pay is already ready there for you even you want it or don't want it...

For GrabPay, they are smart enough to partner with Maybank QR Pay, so even you do not use Grab but if you are a Maybank account user it is already there for you to use...definitely for now both of them still not yet can use together...i mean in the future...how? i still not sure...but can see many small ewallet will follow their foot step (i guess only)

I saw their message...same case...they are rolling out batch by batch...so got to wait for while....it is same like what they do on rolling out the MY wallet

The following is the notes found under wechat Ang Pow:
" 备注：WeChat Pay MY 红包功能现正逐步开放给用户使用，部分马来用户可能暂时仅可收取红包，无法发出红包，请耐心等候，...."

I think this going to be wechat Pay MY style liao...batch by batch...slow and steady....usually will take few week to get it done...not sure why they so scare to open up at once

I think there is nothing to do with the wechat version...just wait patience and it will appear soon...they are rolling out batch by batch to Malaysia user, i think this time shld be faster than last time when they activate the MY wallet to user...

I have no idea...so far my another wechat account on android oso facing the same issue...hopefully after they have officially launch it will fixed it.

it is not related to your gps....it could be more depend on your mobile no. country code...

I'm using Malaysia no. and live in Malaysia but I also got the China Wallet on one of my wechat account but not on another...

Before MY wallet was activate...ones can search key word "wallet" in wechat and the China Wallet will show up...but after MY wallet activate, now cannot already...
