From August 2/kloc-0 to August 28, users who use wechat to pay in Malaysia can get a red envelope reward worth 0.95 to 2 1 .70. WeChat hopes to turn more WeChat users into WeChat payment users through these means.
Wechat said that by the end of 20 17, its active users in Malaysia were 20 million. The total population of this country is 3 1 10000.
After binding the local debit card in Malaysia, local users can pay and transfer money with ringgit through this digital wallet. The service also provides a series of daily functions-such as mobile phone recharge, bus and air ticket reservation-although the diversity of functions is still limited compared with the service in China.
Malaysia has a population of 3,265,438+10,000, but there are more than 40 million mobile phones, which has the conditions to directly access the mobile Internet beyond the PC era. At the same time, the popularity of credit cards in Malaysia is not high, and most people are still used to paying in cash. Bank of Malaysia hopes to reduce the use of cash to curb tax evasion and corruption. Therefore, in the past two years, the Bank of Malaysia has issued 44 electronic payment licenses to non-bank entities.
In fact, as early as July this year, Tencent applied to the Malaysian government to provide local currency payment services through WeChat payment, and submitted a license application for local payment. If approved, Malaysian users can bundle their local bank accounts with WeChat payment, and then use ringgit (Malaysian currency unit) to purchase goods and services online and offline through WeChat. It is quite convenient for users.
There are a quarter of Chinese in Malaysia, among which 20 million WeChat users support the mobile payment market. In this way, Malaysia will also become the first country for Tencent to promote the localization of WeChat payment overseas. Because at present, WeChat and Alipay only open WeChat local payment in Chinese mainland and Hongkong.
