Tencent Cloud and Ryde Strengthen Partnership with New Weixin/WeChat Mini Program Launch in Singapore

New Weixin/WeChat Mini Program set to enhance Chinese visitors' tourism and mobility experience in Singapore

HONG KONG, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global technology company Tencent, today announced the expansion of its strategic partnership with Ryde Group Ltd (NYSE American: RYDE) ("Ryde" or the "Company"), a technology leader in mobility and quick commerce in Singapore. This new phase introduces the launch of the Weixin Mini Program in Singapore, building upon the earlier integration of Tencent Cloud Real-Time Communication (TRTC) technology that enhanced in-app communications within the Ryde platform. Weixin is China's most popular messaging and social platform, known internationally as WeChat.

The newly launched Weixin/WeChat Mini Program aims to elevate accessibility and convenience for Chinese tourists visiting Singapore. Through this feature, users can seamlessly book Ryde rides directly within the Weixin/WeChat ecosystem — eliminating the need for additional app downloads. The interface supports Simplified Chinese, displays fares in RMB, and enables smooth payments via Weixin/WeChat Pay.

This collaboration further strengthens Ryde's partnership with Tencent Cloud, extending beyond backend infrastructure to introduce user-centric services that harness Weixin/WeChat's extensive reach. Together, both companies advance their shared vision of improving cross-border mobility, delivering personalized user experiences, and supporting Singapore's vibrant inbound tourism from China.

Kenneth Siow, Regional Director for Southeast Asia and General Manager for Singapore & Malaysia at Tencent Cloud International, said, "This expanded partnership underscores our firm commitment to deepening digital integration within the Weixin/WeChat ecosystem. It exemplifies Tencent's dedication to extending Weixin/WeChat Pay and Mini Program solutions beyond China, delivering tangible benefits to overseas markets. 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, said, "Partnering with Tencent Cloud strengthens Ryde's position as a leading local platform collaborating with global technology pioneers to deliver sustainable, scalable mobility solutions. The new Mini Program enhances accessibility for over 3 million Chinese visitors each year, offering a familiar and localized booking experience that aligns with their language and currency preferences. We are excited to build on this collaboration, exploring new opportunities that enhance our competitive edge and reinforce our dedication to creating smarter, more seamless experiences for our users."
