Thais eager on QR code cost use

Close to a quarter of Thais are aware of QR code as a payment method — the highest in Southeast Asia — and almost half would like to use it on a regular basis, according to a study commissioned by Visa. Visa is working with five issuers to make QR code payments available for Visa credit cardholders early next year, according to a company spokesperson. Visa recently obtained a domestic network licence from the Bank of Thailand, allowing the company to fully participate in Thailand’s domestic debit market and enabling consumers the options to use their Visa debit cards for standardised QR code payments.
