Mobile-phone users can pay bills instantly by using any of several freely available apps to scan QR codes on an EDC terminal.
Since there is no need to use cash and enter the payment amount, the dynamic QR code service helps consumers avoid the risk of carrying large amounts of cash and bolsters Thailand Post’s cash-management efficiency.
The pilot QR code payment service is being introduced to Thailand Post’s personnel and counter parties before it’s offered to customers at offices and payment counters nationally.
