WeChat Pay is a popular way to pay in Singapore, particularly for those who want an easy way to top up their online casino account. The account can be linked to a bank account in China or to a Visa or Mastercard, or other credit card. Users will get an immediate confirmation of the transaction but the payments are not always immediate ā the actual completion time of the payment will depend on the payment method.
One of the reasons why WeChat Pay is popular with users in Singapore is due to the āred envelopeā feature, where money can be sent to friends online.
By 2019 it is thought that there were 800 active users and a proportion of these are based in Singapore. It is a relatively easy system to use when completing an online casino transaction. All the user has to do is check that the casino accepts WeChat Pay as a payment method and follow the steps to complete the transaction. They will need to check in advance to find out how long it will take for the payment to clear onto the account before they can then take part in online casino games.
