OCBC is collaborating with Visa to make cross-border fund transfers accessible to more than 50 digital wallets by 2026, starting with Chinese digital wallets Weixin Pay (WeChat Pay) and Alipay. 

The lender’s customers can now make peer-to-peer cross-border payments via its mobile banking app to the two Chinese digital wallets – which facilitate more than 90 per cent of the country’s digital payments – using the recipient’s China national identification name and China mobile number.
