Tap & Go joins Hong Kong-Thailand cross border retail payment service

Hong Kong Tap & Go customers can now pay in Thailand locally with just their app.

Tap & Go has joined the Hong Kong-Thailand cross border retail payment service, FPS x PromptPay QR.

Beginning 4 December, Tap & Go users can now make payments in Thai merchants that accept PromptPay payments, whilst Thai tourists can make payments via FPS.

Tap & Go users can simply scan the FPS x PromptPay QR codes using their Tap & Go mobile wallets to make FPS payments at over 8 million merchants supporting PromptPay in Thailand, avoiding not only a trip to convert Hong Kong Dollars to Thai Baht but also the relevant handling fees. 

Alongside the announcement, Tap & Go announced that from 4 December 2023 to 31 January 2024, eligible users can earn up to HK$40 Stored Value Rebate5 by completing a total of six transactions with a cumulative spending of HK$300 or more, provided that they meet the minimum of HK$50 spent in each transaction.

They can also enjoy HK$25 Stored Value Rebate for the first HK$50 spent by scanning the FPS x PromptPay QR code using Tap & Go's "Scan to Pay" feature at merchants who accept PromptPay in Thailand.
