Financial Cards and Payments in Thailand

While cash remains the most popular form of payment in Thailand, its significance continued to wane in 2019. Towards the end of the review period, the consumer shift towards card and electronic payments was supported by the Thai Government's National e-Payment Master Plan. Aimed at promoting the development of a cashless society, the plan has involved the introduction of the PromptPay mobile payment system, a nationwide programme to drive point-of-sale installation amongst smaller retailers.
