Bisakah orang asing menerima uang di Alipay?
Last updated:
⚠️ SYMPTOM
Anda ingin menerima transfer dari WeChat atau bank ke dompet Alipay Anda, tetapi aplikasi tidak menampilkan opsi Terima (Receive).
🔍 MOST LIKELY CAUSE
Tour Pass Alipay yang terhubung dengan kartu asing adalah dompet pengeluaran satu arah, bukan rekening bank — sehingga tidak dapat menerima transfer masuk pada tahun 2026.
✓ HOW TO FIX
Gunakan rekening borderless TransferWise / Wise untuk menerima CNY ke rekening bank China yang terhubung, atau gunakan fitur "Red Packet" (Amplop Merah) Alipay (terbatas hingga ¥200/transaksi dari pengguna Alipay lain).
