Harrods has partnered with Tencent’s strategic partner My Money to roll out the WeChat digital payment system at Harrods Knightsbridge and its airport retail stores, just in time for the Lunar New Year holiday.
WeChat pay is ubiquitous in China. It allows users to instantly send money to their contacts or, by scanning a QR code, to all kinds of retailers, from fruit vendors to restaurants to fashion retailers.
Sunny Sun, the Managing Director of MyMoney, said “Harrods, one of the leading retailers and Chinese consumers’ favoured retail destination in the UK, will provide WeChat Pay to its 960 million active users all over the world.”
