History
OKPay was launched in 2022 as a Telegram-based digital wallet aimed at providing convenient payments and transfers directly inside the messaging application. The service was designed to handle everyday money management, including peer-to-peer transfers, mobile top-ups, and other routine transactions through a chatbot interface.[1]
In July 2024, OKPay introduced a wealth management tool known as OK Balance or OK Balance Manager, allowing users to invest between 10 and 500,000 USDT with a stated annual rate of around 8%. Earnings are calculated daily, credited to the user’s OKPay balance, and funds can be deposited and withdrawn flexibly, with payouts beginning 24 hours after the initial investment.[1][3]
In September 2024, OKPay announced a comprehensive upgrade of its official website to enhance brand image, user experience, and product presentation. The redesign focused on improving visual appeal and functionality, providing clearer introductions to OKPay’s core products and its future outlook.[2]

At the close of 2024, OKPay launched a charity initiative focused on poverty alleviation across China, with a total budget ranging from 500,000 to 1,000,000 RMB. The project reached children’s welfare institutions, impoverished villages, and towns across three provinces, providing support to more than 200 beneficiaries. Assistance included cash, essential supplies, and educational materials for groups such as people with disabilities, left-behind children, low-income families, and elderly individuals living alone.[4]
The initiative was formally announced in a GlobeNewswire press release dated January 27, 2025, issued from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and is presented by OKPay as part of an ongoing program of community and charity support. A spokesperson for OKPay stated:[4]
