Alipay, the mobile payment and service provider of Alibaba Group, will launch an 8.0 version of Alipay Wallet mobile app in the coming January. Alipay Wallet users, with the 8.0 version, thus will be able to enjoy deals or services provided by physical loyalty cards so long as they subscribe to the merchants’ Alipay accounts. As the Alipay Wallet app is becoming increasingly powerful, there’s no wonder they’d heavily promote it. A screenshot (see below) circulating online shows there is an English version of Alipay Wallet. The Balance in the image is Yuebao, which buys mutual funds with Alipay balance for users — or the Balance just shows Alipay account balance.
