The payment was successful, and your transfer is on its way to the recipient. If they have set up their Weixin (WeChat) account to receive transfers, the transfer will acquire its final status in just a few moments.
If this is the first Weixin transfer for your recipient, they will need to follow these steps to receive the money:
- Find the SMS message sent to the phone number you entered when making the transfer. The message contains a link, which will help them accept the money or create a Weixin account.
- Follow the link in the SMS to set up WeRemit. They can also log into their Weixin account to find the WeRemit mini-program manually.
- In the WeRemit program, choose or link a new card to receive the money to.
Once the recipient fulfills these requirements, the money should be credited to their card in just a few moments. However, in rare cases, it may take up to 24 hours for the transfer to get processed. All the subsequent transfers will be carried out automatically.
Please note:
- The recipient will have 48 hours to set up the remittance and link a card. Otherwise, the transfer will be canceled automatically, and the money will be returned to you.
- Transfers through Weixin are supported to Chinese citizens only. If your recipient is not a Chinese citizen, the transfer will be canceled within 48 hours.
