Alipay Wallet, the mobile app by Alipay, announced a new version today that has added a WeChat Official Account-like feature. Users who subscribe to those official accounts can check your bank balance or change smartphone data plans. It’s obvious that it’s inspired by WeChat Official Accounts. Average WeChat Official Accounts are able to send text/voice messages to their followers or interact with them. The payment capability that came along with WeChat 5.0 makes doing business directly through WeChat possible.
