Weixin Pay has connected its system with Thailand’s PromptPay, allowing Chinese travellers to scan and pay in renminbi at participating merchants nationwide.
The collaboration with National ITMX (NITMX), the operator of PromptPay, enables direct RMB payments through the Weixin or WeChat app without the need for currency exchange or local bank accounts.
It supports transactions across dining, retail, attractions, and transport services throughout Thailand.
PromptPay, launched by the Bank of Thailand and NITMX, links major banks and merchants across the country and has become one of Thailand’s most widely used real-time payment systems.
Weixin Pay is already accepted at a wide range of Thai establishments, including CentralWorld, 7-Eleven, McDonald’s, Bangkok’s BTS Skytrain, and numerous local restaurants and durian markets.
Weixin Pay is also accepted at most merchants in Thailand’s main airports, including Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang and Phuket International, offering greater convenience for Chinese visitors.
Weixin Pay said the partnership reflects its ongoing effort to strengthen regional digital payment connectivity and expand its cross-border network to more markets, contributing to a more connected global payment ecosystem.
