truewallet ... impossible to register as farang?

[john donson]

did the whole procedure many times over... photos and scan are clear... then it is ..we will send you sms within 3 days which never comes...

 

is it even possible for a farang to have ? 

[sqwakvfr]

Been with True for 7 years and did not even try. 

[Lacrimas]

Nope, can't. Forbidden to guavas

[Thailand J]

My registration was successful a few months ago.

My first attempt was rejected because I had scanned from a copy of my passport. Second attempt was approved, when I scanned my original passport.

 

[jaideedave]

Same as you, tried several times and finally gave up. Why do they even let us get that far to apply if there is no intention to give one.ffs

If you mean TrueMoney, yes, foreigners can register.

Nope, wrong, can.   I've registered for and used TrueMoney for purchases, if that's what the OP is referring to.

Why do you, falsely, claim that there is "no intention to allow foreigners to register" for TrueMoney?

It's interesting that the OP who cannot register for "Truewallet" [sic] cannot even get the name of the service right.

You're missing out on an alternative payment facility, then.

[Wanderer555]

I have used TrueWallet for about 2 years now. It did take 2 attempts with the Online passport verification. 
 

[Crossy]

Hmmm, I have TrueMoney Wallet works nicely, also linked to my Thai credit card (yes, a "real" credit card, no security deposit).

 

I believe the only thing we can't do is link to a bank account (same with Line Pay).

I use truemoneywallet wallet for 7 Eleven, Lazada and Otteri

Never had it and I don't miss it.  Not a big of fan of linking my credit or debit cards to third parties.  Also, had some bad experiences at the True Store at Maya Mall in CNX.  I just pay cash at the True machine or pay with the Bangkok Bank debit card.

No need to link cards

Then how does one top it off or load money onto it?

Not a requirement, it's an alternative to using your bank.

Send via QR code.

Not sure this works for true wallet.. but I just got Thai PayPal.by using a Thai ID. Number.  The number I used was the number they gave me for covid cirtificate.  Worth a try.

[CartagenaWarlock]

What is a true wallet? Is it another instant payment service? Why do I need it? Is it more secure than using a CC from the USA that provides cash back and fraud protection?

TrueMoney wallet is an online payment app, you can top up ( prepay) or link to you credit card .

THe app is useful since 7-Eleven sets a 200B min for CC payments.

True Wallet can be accessed on the True Move app?  True Money is a separate app that one has to download.  I just did that and the registration process is lengthy.  It asked for a scan of my Non Imm visa.  Problem is I have an OA E-Visa printout only.  i do not have an actual visa stamped in my passport.  I tried to register on the True Money app and was not successful. I'll try again.  When I look at True Wallet it starts with putting in a Thai ID #.    True Money and True wallet are two separate purchase/payment systems? Or am I wrong?

Well well! - after being booted off Paypal at the end of last year because I'm not a Thai citizen, I'm registered again, same method, and linked to my UK credit card. Thanks very much.

It doesn't need to work for TrueMoney, foreign IDs are acceptable, I paid for my dinner again using TrueMoney last night and I'd registered my TrueMoney account with my passport.

How did you verify your new PayPal account that PP state on their first page is only available to Thai citizens? 

I have successfully registered a new PP account just now doing as you suggested but, before it can be used, my ID has to be verified and that requires confirmation using a bank (or other ID facility) that has already swiped my Thai ID card.  You have a Thai ID card?

When you Register there is, or should be a "Foreigner" tab which will prompt you to scan your passport when you tap on it. 

 

TrueMoney is the app/ecosystem. The Wallet is where you add funds from a Thai bank account or link your cards.

[Moonlover]

You're not alone @john donson, I too would like an e-wallet operated by Truemoney and have also failed. In fact I had one for quite a while and found it very useful, but when they upgraded the security (NYC and all that) I was unable to register.

 

And I still can't! I tried quite a few times and just like you, I sat back and waited for the SMS that never came. The frustrating aspect is not knowing why. The main use I put my e-wallet to was paying Lazada, which I use a lot and paying my True account each month. And before anyone pipes up and says 'get a Lazada wallet'. I've been rejected for one of those as well!
