Can I transfer money on WeChat Pay using a foreign credit card?

WeChat Pay's policies regarding the use of foreign credit cards may vary depending on the country or region you are in, as well as the specific credit card issuer.

In general, WeChat Pay does allow users to link some foreign credit cards to their WeChat Pay accounts, but the availability and functionality of this feature may be limited. Some foreign credit card issuers may not be supported by WeChat Pay, and even if they are, there may be restrictions on the types of transactions that can be made using the card.

If you want to transfer money on WeChat Pay using a foreign credit card, you should check with both WeChat Pay and your credit card issuer to confirm whether this is possible and to understand any limitations or fees that may apply.

It's also worth noting that WeChat Pay may have additional requirements or verification processes for adding foreign credit cards to your account, so be prepared to provide additional information or documentation as needed.

In general, if you are a foreigner living or traveling in China and want to use WeChat Pay to transfer money, it may be easier to use a Chinese bank account or a Chinese-issued debit or prepaid card, as these are more widely supported and accepted by WeChat Pay.

To transfer money on WeChat Pay to contribute to group purchases, you can use the "Group Chat" feature in the WeChat app. Here's how to do it:

1. Open the WeChat app on your mobile device and log in to your account.
2. Go to the group chat where the group purchase is being organized.
3. Tap on the "+" icon at the bottom of the screen, then tap on "Money".
4. Enter the amount you want to contribute to the group purchase and tap on "Next".
5. Select the payment method you want to use (such as your WeChat Pay balance or a linked bank card).
6. Add a note or message to the payment (optional), then tap on "OK" to confirm the transfer.

Once you have made the transfer, the other members of the group chat will be able to see that you have contributed to the group purchase. The group organizer can then use the collected funds to make the purchase on behalf of the group.

Please note that the exact steps may vary slightly depending on the version of the WeChat app you are using. Additionally, make sure that you have sufficient balance in your WeChat Pay account or linked bank account to cover the contribution.

It's also important to note that WeChat Pay may have limits on the amount you can transfer in a single transaction, and there may be fees associated with the transfer. Be sure to check with WeChat Pay for the most up-to-date information on their policies and fees.
