Tencent announced that from July this year, overseas tourists can link international credit cards issued by visa to WeChat.
Ant Group also said Alipay, the most widely used payment system, comes from foreign cards on all major international card networks, including Visa, mastercard, Diners Club International and Discover.
The service will be simplified with no need to create a prepaid account or get a Chinese phone number.
