I also anticipate WeChat Pay in Ringgit a lot. Part of the reason is I prefer and use WeChat a lot in daily life hehe.
What I read is, when it is launched, we will have different wallet for different currency. So you get 1 CNY Wallet for CNY, 1 RM wallet for RM. Not sure if it will allow conversion though.
News saying that WeChat Pay in RM will be launched earlier this year. Originally everyone (well, OK, me especially, haha) was hoping that during CNY this year can use its Red Packet function, but until now still no news. Maybe will be launched this Raya? Hopefully..

QUOTE(xperiaDROID @ Jun 5 2018, 03:49 PM) I don't see any Wallet thing in my section though, even if I searched it, I'm still on the China wallet. Did you activate the China wallet before by any chance? I had my China wallet years ago. Was able to receive hongbao before this. |

QUOTE(xperiaDROID @ Jun 5 2018, 04:07 PM) Ah, I understand now, basically those who have activated their China wallet before are now able to switch the region to Malaysia now. Those who never activated it before will have to wait for it to appear. what do you see now in your interface? Can you even access your China wallet? If not, just ask somebody to wechat you 0.01 yuan Hongbao, then your Wallet function will be activated |

QUOTE(xperiaDROID @ Jun 5 2018, 04:22 PM) I never activated it before, I can access to it by searching it within the app though, but to activate the China wallet, I gotta link a card issued in China and type in the ID which is also only available for people from China. I heard that it was actually easy to activate the China wallet few years back, and they implemented a stricter rule which made it only available to register for the mainland Chinese people since dunno when. I tried the hongbao think before, it didn't work, still required for mainland Chinese ID. I linked my China Wallet using my Credit card. It worked. I did that last year. |

QUOTE(xperiaDROID @ Jun 5 2018, 05:04 PM) 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.  Entering card info is just to link your debit card to the WeChat Wallet. Submitting the identity info is another thing. It protects your money from being misused by somebody (by transferring the money into their account). You can find this by following these steps: wallet > tap on the 3 dots on the top right corner > payment management > identity verification |

QUOTE(xperiaDROID @ Jun 5 2018, 06:17 PM) Quick update here, alright here's the thing that happened... On the first try, this was the interface [attachmentid=9842856] 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. [attachmentid=9842860] yeah... then you need to first link your debit card, then verify your personal info. |

QUOTE(xperiaDROID @ Jun 5 2018, 07:12 PM) Is it really necessary to verify personal info though? According to the popup page in WeChat, the money in our WeChat Wallet can be transferred back to bank account. The scenario is, if somehow some bad guy got out phone and somehow know our password, so he can easily transfer the money to his bank account. If we perform the personal info verification step, then the wallet money can only be transferred back to our own account, and not any other account. It's security purposes la. |

QUOTE(ming86 @ Jun 5 2018, 09:25 PM) Mine is 6.6.6 version, with China Wallet activated. Log off and then log in, switch to Malaysia WeChat Pay message appear, click upper right icon to switch over.
Activated and top up with BigPay.
Screenshot for whoever interested... One question, is it that we can only link our debit card, but not credit card? |

QUOTE(xperiaDROID @ Jun 5 2018, 09:34 PM) 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. One technique is that, you can ask your friend to send you a Hongbao, once the Hongbao appears at your end and you click on it, the Hongbao function will appear in your WeChat. Thanks! I am using PC |
