TL;DR

Samsung Wallet now supports WeChat Pay in China for Galaxy smartphone users, letting them pay at merchants by scanning QR codes.

The service is aimed at South Koreans traveling to China and removes the need for a separate local payment setup or foreign exchange fees.

Samsung says offline purchases earn 0.3% cashback in Samsung Wallet Points, and credit card linking and NFC payments are planned for next year.

Samsung has brought WeChat Pay support to the Wallet app on Galaxy smartphones. This will allow South Koreans traveling to China to make payments at any WeChat Pay merchant simply by scanning a QR code using a supported Galaxy device.

The partnership between Samsung, Tencent, and Woori Bank brings easier payments for South Korean Galaxy smartphone users in China. It eliminates the need to set up a separate local payment method or pay foreign currency exchange fees. Users can complete transactions either by showing their payment QR code to the cashier or by scanning the store's QR code.

This feature not only waives the usual overseas transaction fees but also earns users an unlimited 0.3% cashback in the form of Samsung Wallet Points when making offline purchases.
