AsianFin -- WeChat Pay has rolled out a new promotional campaign aimed at international bank card users, offering significant savings on small-value transactions in China.

As part of the campaign, new users linking an international bank card to WeChat Pay for the first time will enjoy a full waiver of the standard 3% transaction fee on purchases under RMB 1,000, valid for 60 consecutive days from their first transaction. The maximum saving is capped at RMB 30 per transaction.

In addition, all international card users—regardless of when they registered—can benefit from a permanent fee waiver on single transactions under RMB 200.

Since July 2023, WeChat Pay has enhanced its services to make mobile payments more accessible for foreign nationals in China. Users can now link their international cards directly to WeChat Pay, with support from seven major global payment networks, including VISA, MasterCard, and JCB.
