Not set up yet? Here's what you need to do.

Getting Started

If you've got the latest version of WeChat installed, you've got access to WeChat wallet. Head over to your home screen (or "Me" on the menu at the bottom) and find the Wallet icon. If you can't see it, try changing your settings to Chinese (Settings> General> Language>简体中文 (Simplified Chinese) ). Once the Wallet is displayed you can change your settings back to English.

Adding a Card to Your Account

• To add a card, go to the Bank Card section right on the top. Put in the number on your bank card and WeChat automatically detects which bank and type of card you're using. You'll then be asked for your name, phone and ID type.

• Enter your name and phone number exactly as it has been inputted by your bank.

• Many banks will accept your passport as validation, including China Merchants Bank, ICBC, Bank of China, and China Construction Bank. Please check with your bank to confirm they offer this service.

• Once you have added your details WeChat will send you a verification code.

• When your account has been verified you will need to add a six-digit password.

You are now ready to pay for your air tickets and so much more with WeChat Wallet
