HK, Thailand commence cross-border QR payment linkage

BANGKOK: Starting Monday (Dec 4), Hong Kong residents can make payments capped at HK$10,000 (US$1,280) per day in Thailand by scanning their digital wallets with Thailand’s PromptPay, as Hong Kong and Thailand have set up a cross-border QR payment linkage between Hong Kong’s Faster Payment System (FPS) and Thailand’s PromptPay.

Thai tourists can also pay at shops in Hong Kong when they scan their digital wallets with FPS.
