Popular Post webfact Posted June 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2022 Sanook Thai Caption: World leaders!!! Sanook reported that the Thai government were jumping for joy after the country was named as #3 in the world for online e-Payments. There had been 9.7 billion transactions in 2021. Government spokeswoman Rachada Thanadirek quoted an ACI Worldwide survey in conjunction with GlobalData and the Centre for Economic and Business Research. India had 48.6 billion transactions and China 18.5 billion. Obviously these have much larger populations. Ratchada said this had spurred economic growth or GDP of 2.08% and represented a marked increase on the previous two years. "Realtime payments have exploded in Thailand", she enthused. "That's across all ages and all forms of business" adding that the systems in place are of a worldwide standard. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-06-21 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Think everyone else uses those code things. Not that common in Australia as far as I can tell. I was back in Australia until just recently, in the Northern Beaches area just Nth of Sydney. I paid for everything with my touch debit card. I was living in a very large war veterans village, 99% of the residents over 65 yo, many in their 90s. In the village coffee shop/family restaurant they accept cash but 99% of the residents using their debit cards. Also using debit cards for taxis and more. A side point, in this area most of the banks have removed their ATM machines because of very few transactions to get cash. And some banks have closed branches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalawaan Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Well it probably has the highest number of handsum walking ATMs with the Phillipines a close second. So... Ker-chinggg! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandpa Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Real time payments should not have to rely on getting a phone to read a QR Code. Thai Banks should issue debit cards that are touch and go. My bank looked at me blankly the last time I renewed it and asked for such a card. Mind you, this is the same bank that takes 4 or 5 days to get me a 12 month statement for immigration purposes as they have to get it from Bangkok! I won't hold my breath for more advanced technology ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually deleted the post when I thought that, though I don’t use the phone with the code things, I do use my card constantly which I guess is the same type of thing.
