💳 Before departure: set up a verified backup

Link an eligible foreign card to a wallet, then test it before you rely on it

Tencent states that overseas visitors can bind an eligible foreign credit or debit card to WeChat Pay and use it at participating merchants. Card approval and merchant acceptance can vary, so keep a second wallet and some cash instead of relying on one setup.
