How do I add a Wise card to WeChat?

Okay, so you wanna use your Wise card with WeChat? I get it, super handy for paying for things when you’re in China, right? I’ve been there, trying to fumble with cash – it’s not fun! So, adding your Wise card is actually pretty straightforward.

Let me tell you how I do it: You open up WeChat, then go to “Me.” (You know, the little icon at the bottom right? Yeah, that one.) Then you hit “Services,” and then – this is the important bit – “Wallet.” Think of it like your digital wallet, makes sense, huh?

From there, tap “Bank Cards,” and then “Add Bank Card.” Now, just carefully type in all your Wise card details, like the number, expiry date, all that jazz. Double-check it, you know how it is with these things – typos happen! I once mistyped a number and had to do the whole thing again. So annoying!

One thing to remember though – and this is crucial if you don’t wanna get hit with nasty exchange rates – you need to convert your SGD to CNY within the WeChat app before you buy anything. Don’t forget that step! I learned the hard way. I bought a bunch of souvenirs in Shanghai, and the exchange rate wasn’t great because I forgot to convert beforehand. Learned my lesson there! So, convert first, shop later. Makes a real difference, trust me.
