CHINESE travellers can now use Weixin Pay at all AEON stores nationwide following a recent collaboration supported by Tourism Malaysia.
The move between AEON Co. (M) Bhd and Weixin Pay is part of efforts to promote Malaysia as a preferred destination for Chinese tourists, providing them with a greater seamless payment experience, while creating new opportunities to attract more customers and drive business growth.
The campaign will run for a year, from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027.
As part of the collaboration, the Visit Malaysia Year 2026 logo will be featured on AEON's campaign point-of-sale materials, reinforcing Malaysia's tourism promotion alongside the payment initiative.
Throughout the campaign, customers who pay with Weixin Pay at AEON stores nationwide will enjoy exclusive preferential exchange rates, making every purchase even more rewarding.
In addition, Weixin Pay users who spend at participating merchants across Malaysia, including AEON, will stand a chance to win vouchers through a lucky draw.
Together, these offers provide Chinese tourists and other Weixin Pay users with a seamless and rewarding shopping experience while visiting Malaysia.
"We are pleased to collaborate with Weixin Pay to provide our customers with greater payment convenience while enhancing the shopping experience for visitors to Malaysia.
“This collaboration supports our commitment to delivering greater value to our customers and aligns with national efforts to strengthen tourism, particularly by making shopping more accessible and rewarding for Chinese visitors," said Hidekazu Iwaoka, Deputy Managing Director of AEON.
Commenting on the partnership, Ben Yang, Managing Director for Southeast Asia and North America at Weixin Pay, said, “At Weixin Pay, we are dedicated to delivering a seamless and trustworthy payment experience for users wherever they travel.
“With Visit Malaysia Year 2026 set to attract more Chinese travellers, we strive to ensure that their daily payments in Malaysia remain simple, convenient and intuitive, just like back home.” – August 6, 2026
