Thailand’s PromptPay system
PromptPay is an online mobile money transfer system that has contributed significantly to the size of mobile banking in recent years. Introduced in 2017, PromptPay is an effort led by The Bank of Thailand to innovate payment methods. The system allows Thai users to connect their citizen IDs or mobile phone numbers to their bank accounts, making sending and receiving money more convenient without using long and detailed bank account information. The system is implemented among leading banks in Thailand, making it highly accessible for Thai users. The volume of PromptPay transactions has increased in recent years, signaling a preference for online cashless payments among consumers in Thailand.

Additionally, leading telecommunications enterprises such as True Move have made True Money a popular mobile wallet platform that lets consumers efficiently manage their daily expenses, such as mobile phone credit, internet credit, and transportation tickets.
