WeChat Pay has recently announced a preferential campaign targeting the payments using international bank cards.

International bank card users who link their cards to WeChat Pay for the first time are each eligible for a full waiver of the 3% transaction fee on daily transactions under CNY 1,000 for 60 consecutive days starting from their first transactions, with a maximum saving of CNY 30 per transaction.

For all international bank card users, every single transaction under CNY 200 is eligible for an exemption from the 3% transaction fee.

Since July 2023, WeChat Pay has continued to enhance payment convenience for foreign nationals in China by optimizing its product functionality. Users can now directly make payments by linking their bank cards to their WeChat accounts. The supported cards are those issued by seven major international payment service brands, including VISA, MasterCard, and JCB.
