I, along with the other 5 billion people who........... 

 

That right there says it all - you think 5 billion people out of 7.5 billion use phones to do banking?

Nothing I can say to someone who thinks like that will be listened to - a waste of my time. 

 

 

According to a Google search 5.4 billion people worldwide use mobile banking apps. Do you distrust them only in Thailand, or not realize that countries other than Thailand have banks?

 

Meanwhile, Thailand is a nation with one of the highest percentage usage of mobile banks, with 68.1% of Thai bank a account holders using mobile banking. 

 

But we're all wrong and you're right.

 Plus, yes there is risk in banking, do you realize there's ways to easily limit risk when you use internet banking / bank apps?

Yes, there are risks associated with mobile apps. There are also risks associated with taking cash from ATM's and carrying it around with you. I take precautions and have never had any issues with either but prefer the convenience of mobile banking. 

 

I do acknowledge that guys who struggle with technology are probably better off using cash though, if nothing else for peace of mind.

 

And as some have pointed out, guys who struggle with mobile phone usage probably would slow down check out lines attempting to scan QR codes. We can only hope they've mastered their coin counting skills.

Seems people have no comprehension of the end goal here. So il tell you.

The WEF is pushing this everywhere. An article from about a year ago made the point that once the public gets to about 65% of doing non-cash transactions, it will be time to stop cash purchases.  Once that is done, the governments, all of them, will now be able to track AND TAX every purchase.  They'll know what you buy, where you bought it, etc.  This is not good.  In America they presently believe you should pay tax on items you sell at a garage sale. They track deposits, transactions, over $600.  So, that tv you bought last year that won't fit in you new home, an 85' Winnebago, if you sell it and don't have the receipt to show you took a loss, you owe taxes on that $600. 

DO NOT USE ELECTRONIC PAYMENT QR CODES.  You'll regret it.

they have no idea whats coming.............

Almost impossible as a foreigner to get that wallet

Yes, I get that. But some posters complained about the slow cashier queue with QR payment, regardless it is promptpay or true wallet. And also regardless it is a Thai person or foreigner

We?? What are you smoking mate?? You need to take a break. 

 

Lets get back to the issue - scanning QR codes is inherently risky - especially if you use a banking app on the phone that you scan the QR code with.  Believe the FBI??

Do you remember when smoking was OK - when anyone saying it was unhealthy was rubbished. This is like that - phones are inherently a serious security risk - people will and can do stupid things with them - it is not like they come with a warning saying what to do and what not to do.
