Alipay announced in 2023 that the deadline for free withdrawal of the collection code is extended to September 30, 2024. Considering that this preferential policy is about to expire, Alipay recently announced another extension of the free withdrawal period for the collection code, which will now end on September 30, 2025.
Of course, according to convention, Alipay may continue to extend the free withdrawal policy until this time next year. However, the specific situation still depends on the market conditions. After all, Alipay announces the extension for only one year at a time to leave room for themselves, to avoid being criticized for not keeping their promises if they start charging withdrawal fees later.
