What to do, step by step
- Read the actual error in WeChat
Check whether the error mentions card eligibility, identity verification or a refusal from your bank.
- Check the card and authentication
Confirm you selected the right region and entered details correctly inside WeChat. If your bank declined authentication, contact it through official channels.
- Use official WeChat assistance
Try WeChat’s own Help & Feedback, then ask about another eligible card or an alternate way to pay, such as RMB cash.
Before you begin
Apps, menus, payment eligibility, route availability and local transit rules can change. These are educational examples, not real-time transaction or timetable information. Confirm the latest instructions within the official app.
If your bank card or payment fails, contact your bank or the official app support. Avoid sharing sensitive information with any third-party guide.
