FAQs
Common questions
Can I transfer funds to my own Alipay/Weixin Pay wallet?

If you are a Chinese citizen with a Chinese national ID, you will be able to transfer funds to an Alipay wallet or a Weixin Pay wallet linked to your Chinese ID.

I am a Singaporean residing in China with an Alipay wallet or a Weixin Pay wallet. Can funds from my OCBC Singapore account be sent to my Alipay/Weixin Pay wallet?

No, only Chinese citizens who hold Chinese national IDs will be able to receive funds from overseas sources.

Why has my payee not received the funds I sent?

To receive funds from overseas sources, your payee must have taken certain steps required by his/her wallet provider. Examples include but are not limited to:

  • Accepting the Terms and Conditions related to receiving funds from overseas sources via the wallet app; and
  • Acknowledging the relationship between the sender and payee via the wallet app.

Please have your payee check if he/she has done so.
