National —
On September 27th, 2024, Thai national media reported that 7-Eleven rolled out a new service allowing customers to make payments via QR Code directly from banking apps, with no minimum spending requirement.
This service is currently being trialed at 232 branches across the country and supports payments from seven major banks: Kasikorn Bank, Siam Commercial Bank, Krungsri Bank, Bangkok Bank, Government Savings Bank, UOB, and Mizuho Bank.
Customers can now pay directly from their bank accounts without needing a third-party app.
Previously, TrueMoney Wallet had been the primary payment method at 7-Eleven, requiring users to top up a minimum of 100 baht from a credit card, bank account, or bank app.
This new payment option eliminates the need for an intermediary, offering consumers a more convenient way to pay directly through their banking apps.
It is yet to be seen whether 7-Eleven will expand this service to more branches or add support for additional banks in the future.
