My wife and I registered for PromptPay this morning. Hopefully it will be useful at some time in the future.

All that was required from me was

Passport …showed them a copy, also showed my Pink ID Card and he copied both.

Mobile Phone number.

To choose which Bank Account to use.

 

 

You can only register at one bank and you have to choose which account at that bank.

 

 

Surprisingly it only took a few minutes. 

 

 

Plenty of info on the internet about PromptPay... I'll need to read a bit more about it's uses ....

I applied online via K-Bank's cyberbanking. It gave a choice of registering with national ID or phone number but stated that foreigners can only use phone number - a bit annoying for those of us with a Thai ID (that unlike a phone number will never change).

this is straight from the horse's mouth all  foreigners who claim a refund of witholding tax are expected to sign up for promptpay at any bank. if you dont want to do this tax refunds will be paid by cheque 45days after applying for it.

Did my withholding tax claim today ... so PromptPay has come in useful as they said that is the way I will get the refund.

Yeah, I signed up for PP a while back, mostly in the hope that the nag-screen on ATMs / Internet-banking would go away, it hasn't

 

I don't recall providing anything other than my phone number (Bangkok Bank).
