WeChat Pay, a widely used platform with users worldwide, offers a variety of payment features, both in stores and online, as well as easy money transfers and bill payments. Through this partnership, Magnati is expanding its range of payment solutions and offering merchants in the UAE access to a broader customer base. Magnati will seamlessly integrate WeChat Pay into its payment ecosystem, making it easy for businesses to accept WeChat Pay payments on their Point of Sale Terminal (POS). The integration of WeChat pay will enhance the shopping and payment experience for Chinese tourists, providing them with a sense of familiarity and convenience.

As the UAE stands as a prime shopping hub for global travelers, this partnership aligns with the ongoing influx of Chinese visitors, ensuring that they enjoy a shopping experience similar to what they are accustomed to in their home country. Offering WeChat Pay under the Magnati Value Added Services Portfolio contributes to Magnati’s overall goal of offering a comprehensive one-stop solution for everyone.

Ramana Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of Magnati, said: “At Magnati, we are constantly looking for innovative ways to meet the evolving needs of our customers and simplify the payments process for them. Partnering with WeChat Pay is a significant step forward in achieving this goal. We believe this partnership will not only make payments more convenient but also bring added value to our customers’ daily lives.”

Jeff Hu, General Manager, WeChat Pay EMEA, said: “WeChat Pay has consistently been committed to offer secure and hassle-free payment experiences for Chinese travelers. This partnership enables Chinese tourists to have a seamless mobile payment experience similar to what they enjoy in China while visiting the UAE.”

The partnership between Magnati and WeChat Pay offers numerous benefits to customers. With the user-friendly mobile app of WeChat, customers can make payments quickly and hassle-free. WeChat Pay’s extensive user base means that customers can use their preferred payment method in more places worldwide.

This partnership aligns with Magnati’s commitment to innovation and customer-centric solutions. The company’s dedication to providing cutting-edge payment options has made it a trusted partner for businesses worldwide.
