Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues on the way! CTOnews.com, June 29, CTOnews.com reported earlier that as WeChat Pay will charge a handling fee of 0.6%, a number of colleges and universities across the country recently issued a notice saying that the use of WeChat Pay will be suspended from July 1.

In response, WeChat Pay official responded earlier, "since 2015, WeChat Pay has been entering the campus, giving a preferential policy of zero rate for non-profit payment scenarios on campus (tuition and fees, living services, etc.) for a long time. Continue to invest in bank access fees and other costs. For the campus non-profit payment scenarios (tuition and fees, living services, etc.) will continue to maintain the preferential policy of zero rate. Recently, WeChat Pay launched a communication among merchants for the fine management of rates in the campus industry. after early opinion collection and feedback, it is proposed to continue to provide services at preferential rates lower than the average market level only for a small number of profitable scenarios such as e-commerce and wine travel. "

After that, the official Weibo team of Tencent Wechat forwarded the above-mentioned WeChat Pay's response and issued an apology statement, saying that it had caused everyone's trouble due to poor handling of the payment rate for university life service scenarios. I would like to apologize to the school, teachers and students.

The Wechat team also said that please rest assured that the zero-rate preferential policy will be maintained in the campus non-profit scenario. "We urgently reviewed the whole incident. Since 2015, WeChat Pay continues to adopt a zero-rate preferential policy in campus and other non-profit scenarios, but due to our lack of fine management of rates, as the number of campus scenes and merchants continues to rise. A large number of profit scenes involving e-commerce and wine travel occupy zero-rate subsidy resources, resulting in rising costs, for which the cost of bank access exceeds 1 billion yuan. "

According to the Wechat team, the adjustment will only implement a preferential rate policy below the market average for a small number of for-profit scenarios such as e-commerce and wine travel, while campus non-profit scenarios will continue to maintain zero rates. The original intention of this adjustment is to implement more refined preferential measures for the rates, but it is obviously too simple and rude to cause misunderstandings. I apologize for this and amend it immediately. In the follow-up, we will continue to optimize the communication process with colleges and universities and strengthen cooperation to promote the sustainable development of campus digitization.
