WeChat Pay is one of the most widely used payment methods in China, and is fast gaining popularity in Malaysia. The e-wallet only requires users to flash the phone at the counter, thus allowing customers to go cashless and even cardless. According to WeChat Pay Malaysia Chief Executive Officer Jason Siew, “We believe in forging collaborations, which help us deliver the best experiences to our customers. This collaboration with Petron will further encourage the growth of cashless payments in Malaysia. We will continue to strategically expand our collaboration for WeChat Pay to provide greater flexibility, access and choice for customers while enabling an easy and safe payment experience.”
Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Deputy Secretary General (Domestic Trade) Yang Berusaha Tuan Badrul Hisham Bin Mohd and Petron Head of Retail Business Mr Choong Kum Choy were present to officiate the launch of the WeChat e-wallet at Petron service stations. Speaking about the collaboration, Mr Choong said, “We are very excited to introduce WeChat Pay Malaysia at Petron service stations. We are confident that customers will enjoy this new safe, easy, and convenient e-wallet shopping experience. Customers’ convenience has always been our priority and the partnership with WeChat Pay Malaysia allows us to offer secure and wider payment choices for our valued customers.”
“We hope that more consumers will have the opportunity to experience Petron’s Fuel Happy hospitality, while gaining more satisfying rewards using Petron fuels and from the services we have introduced. This is in line with our commitment to provide consumers more benefits and rewards,” continued Choong. “This initiative is also in line with our strategy moving towards a cashless society whilst leveraging on the rise of e-commerce and the efficiency of Malaysia’s payment systems with electronic payments to create more rewarding customer experiences,” said WeChat Pay Malaysia Chief Executive Officer Jason Siew.
