scorecard Posted Monday at 01:33 AM Posted Monday at 01:33 AM 19 hours ago, hotsun said: Is this how mobile banking works here? You put in the amount manually? Can be done different ways: 1. - Shop registers the amount in their cash register machine and that amount automatically shows if the customer scans the shop QR. Customer now hits 'ENTER' and the funds transfer happens instantly if there's enough funds in the customers bank account. - Further to 1. - above, some bank apps allow the customer to enter a new amount. Example, customer wants to add 20Baht ot whatever as a tip. Then ENTER. - 2. - Or the shop may have it set up so the amount shows on a separate small screen and the shop assistant points this out to the customer. Customer scans the main QR code for the shop but there's no amount owing showing on the customers bank app. Customer now manually enters the amount owing and hits 'ENTER'. If there's enough funds the transfer of the funds to the shop happens instantly. Maybe some banks have more 'systems' ...
Barnet1900 Posted Monday at 01:47 AM Posted Monday at 01:47 AM It's often the customers using the points cards rather than paying by phone that take longer. Apart from the odd shop whose QR code takes forever to scan, paying by QR is very simple. I never carry cash anymore but that's because I'm always losing my wallet so I don't carry one. It doesn't suit everyone but it works for me. Cardless withdrawals also appeal. The only place where I need cash to pay is 7-11 and passing them by because of this actually saves me a bit of cash each day.

If it's not on me somewhere something kicks in. 1

Staff believe the error occurred during a mobile banking transaction, possibly due to a misplaced decimal point. Honesty is the best policy....

I often scan the QR code and have to enter the amount manually - last time being yesterday at an upmarket coffee shop on Sukhumvit, near Emsphere.

spidermike007 Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Where are the basic survival skills which are required to thrive in this world, and to travel without being taken advantage of? They either didn't they look at the amount they scanned or entered it manually, you would think one way or the other they would pick up the mistake before paying. 1
Quack Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago On 6/1/2025 at 12:24 PM, KannikaP said: Not if you scan a QR code. It depends if the QR code is generated for the specific transaction. Sometimes it's just a standard QR code for any transaction into the same account. 1

wensiensheng Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago On 6/1/2025 at 1:43 PM, BritManToo said: Because when out cycling you carry as little as possible. Mobile phone is needed for mapping, so might as well use it as your wallet. Would you really want me to pay you with a wet sweaty 100bht note I pulled out of my cycling shorts? Most cycling jerseys have multiple pockets in the back. But, any notes still get sweaty. 1

Hanuman2547 Posted 2 minutes ago Posted 2 minutes ago I just put some cash, a credit card, and my ID in my under the seat bag when out cycling. Doesn't get all sweaty that way. I also carry two tubes, tyre levers, reading glasses, and disposable gloves in that same bag. Works very well for me.
