You can bind Alipay WeChat with Taiwan bank card! Taiwanese Sentiment: A Mobile Phone Travels Across Mainland China with Bank Cards | Mainland China | Taiwanese Sentiments
In the past, when Taiwan compatriots came to the mainland, it took at least a few weeks from handling mobile phone cards and bank cards in the mainland to binding Alipay and WeChat. Since the beginning of this year, under the strong promotion of the Municipal Taiwan Affairs Office, Shanghai government and enterprises have joined forces to further upgrade and optimize the service plans for overseas users. Recently, Taiwan compatriots in the mainland can directly use bank cards in Taiwan to bind and use mobile payment software such as Alipay and WeChat, truly realizing "one mobile phone can travel all over Chinese Mainland".
The specific procedure is similar to the use of bank cards in mainland China. The first step is to download Alipay, WeChat and other APPs, and register with mobile phone numbers in Taiwan or mainland China; Step 2, bind the bank card; The third step is to display or scan the code for use.
However, binding overseas bank cards mainly supports daily consumption in mainland China, and currently does not support other purposes such as wealth management and transfer. At present, the single transaction limit for binding overseas bank card payments is RMB 3000, with a monthly cumulative limit of RMB 50000 and an annual cumulative limit of RMB 60000.
The Municipal Taiwan Affairs Office introduced that, in addition to Alipay and WeChat, many mainland financial service institutions have launched financial facilitation measures to benefit Taiwanese. For example, Bank of China Shanghai Branch has launched a Taiwan compatriot exclusive service plan, which can collect card application information from Taiwan enterprise employees and Taiwanese compatriots in advance, and provide door-to-door services throughout the process; Shanghai Bank has launched the "Huafu Tong" service, allowing Taiwanese residents to enjoy convenient and fast payments in mainland China by opening and recharging their cards online. In addition, Taiwan funded Fubon Huayi Bank has launched a credit card program for Taiwanese youth, replacing some application materials with educational credentials, bringing true convenience and benefits to Taiwanese youth.
Taiwanese youth Liu Yizhan, who works in Shanghai, said that he is increasingly feeling the strong information service capabilities of the mainland and should share good news with more Taiwanese friends, inviting them to come to the mainland for development and experience the increasingly convenient mobile payment services.
