Several universities announced to stop WeChat Pay from July 1, and Tencent responded

Recently, many universities across the country announced that WeChat Pay will be suspended from July 1.

In the afternoon of June 29, when the reporter opened the official website of Northwest University, Northwest University said that, because Tencent WeChat Pay will carry out fine management on campus scene users, except for tuition fees, other charges will be limited and 0.6% of the handling fee will be charged. In order to safeguard the interests of teachers and students, WeChat scanning code payment service will be suspended for campus all-in-one card users from June 30. The all-in-one card campus card, Bank of Communications APP, cloud flash payment, Alipay and other channels will be used normally. I hope all teachers and students will know.

As of the press release, more than 10 colleges and universities, including Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Jiangsu Normal University, Henan Normal University, Hangzhou Normal University, Zhoukou Normal University, Zhengzhou University of Light Industry, Zhengzhou University of Aeronautics, Shanxi Normal University, Business college of Shanxi University, have also successively issued relevant announcements, all of which mention that WeChat Pay will charge service fees for WeChat payments outside the tuition collection scene.

In this regard, Tencent WeChat Pay said that since 2015, WeChat Pay has started to enter the campus. For the non-profit payment scenarios (tuition and miscellaneous fees, life services, etc.) on campus, it will give Zero-rating preferential policies for a long time, and continue to invest in bank access fees and other costs. The preferential policy of Zero-rating will continue to be maintained for non-profit payment scenarios on campus (such as tuition and miscellaneous fees, life services, etc.).

WeChat Pay also revealed that WeChat Pay has recently launched merchant communication for refined management of campus industry rates. Through early collection and feedback of opinions, it is planned to continue to provide services at a discount rate lower than the market average for a small number of profitable scenarios such as e-commerce, wine travel, etc.

"The campus is a complex scene. In addition to the non-profit scenes such as tuition fees and canteens, there are also some profit scenes." A person close to WeChat Pay revealed that the rate management action of WeChat Pay is mainly for profit scenes to avoid occupying too much subsidy resources. At present, the discount rates for campus profitable scenarios are mostly 0.2% to 0.38%, which is still lower than the rates for other business scenarios
