Tencent Cloud has expanded its partnership with Ryde, a Singapore-based mobility and quick commerce platform.
The new phase introduces a Weixin Mini Program in Singapore, building on the previous integration of Tencent Cloud Real-Time Communication (TRTC) technology that enhanced in-app communications within Ryde.
Weixin, known internationally as WeChat, is China’s most widely used messaging and social platform.
The Weixin/WeChat Mini Program allows Chinese tourists in Singapore to book Ryde rides directly within the platform, without downloading a separate app.
The interface supports Simplified Chinese, displays fares in RMB, and accepts payments via Weixin/WeChat Pay.
Kenneth Siow, Regional Director for Southeast Asia and General Manager for Singapore & Malaysia at Tencent Cloud International, said:
“This expanded partnership underscores our commitment to deepening digital integration within the Weixin/WeChat ecosystem. We are proud to support Singapore’s inbound tourism by enhancing connectivity and user experience through our Mini Programs.”
Nitin Dolli, CTO at Ryde Group, added:
“Partnering with Tencent Cloud strengthens Ryde’s position as a local platform collaborating with global technology pioneers. The new Mini Program offers a familiar and localised booking experience for over 3 million Chinese visitors each year, aligning with their language and currency preferences.”
