To successfully receive your first Alipay transfer, please follow these streamlined steps:

Link your bank account: First, link your bank account to Alipay by following the instructions provided in English and Chinese. This step is key to starting your transfer.
Submit required documents: If Alipay asks for any documents to verify your account, be sure to provide them promptly. This will help the process go smoothly.
Action within 72 hours: Ask your recipient in China to link their bank account details to the Alipay app within this timeframe.
Stay updated: If you notice that your transfer is still pending, log into your Alipay account to check for any alerts or requests. It's important to stay on top of any notifications.
Automatic Cancellation Alert: Remember, if the bank account isn't linked or the necessary details aren't provided to Alipay, the transfer will be automatically cancelled on the fourth day.

This should ensure a smooth process for receiving your transfer.

Please note: You can only send money to Chinese citizens via Alipay.
