Five Guys is warming up the flat-top for its next Charleston burger joint https://www.diningandcooking.com/restaurants/19427/ #Aldi #Alexandra #BurgerJoint #BurgerJoints #carolinas #Charleston #Charlotte #DocksideBar #Five #huntington #HuntingtonNational #HuntingtonNationalBank #JamesIsland #JamesIslandCenter #JohnMcDermott #Maybank #MaybankHighway #MountPleasantTowneCentre #Murphy #MurphyUsa #ShemCreek #soon #SouthCarolina #SouthCarolina’s #USAToday #WhiteCastle

Seriously, I've long not used cash... ever, for years, given how extremely common #QR payments and #NFC payments are everywhere here (MY). Even at your local pasar (markets) and roadside stalls. This makes me not a fan of traveling to anywhere else where this isn't true, cos I hate having extra foreign notes and especially coins after a trip.

I'm going to #Bali soon. I heard QR payments (#QRIS) is popular and maybe even common in at least the city parts of #Indonesia (Jakarta, Bandung, etc.). I hope that's just as true in Bali? I'm expecting to make payments at like eateries, konbinis, tourist spots (for tickets n such), souvenir shops, massage/beauty parlors, etc. Would I need cash for these? I do expect needing to have some cash for 'parking jockeys' as tips (and emergencies ofc).

Most of my money for this trip, like I do anywhere else, will be in #Wise tho. I'll just add some money in my local currency (MYR), then for card payments, I'll just use #ApplePay and it'll auto convert n charge me in IDR. For QR payments, Wise unfortunately does not support QRIS, so I'll either use my local bank (#Maybank) since MY's #DuitNow supports QRIS, or do the same as I've done in #Thailand where I make QR payments using #TnGeWallet, which charges my Wise card. For cash, I'll bring just a little bit from home, then withdraw anything necessary from ATMs there with my physical Wise card - as it seems that at least for certain ATMs in Bali, they charge nothing for cash withdrawals (unlike Thailand). That'd help avoid exchanging too many bank notes from home.

Also, in regards to cross-border payments via QR like #DuitNow and #PromptPay ; I know scanning their (merchant) QR for payments work - as mentioned, I’ve only been using #TnG eWallet for this bcos as far as I’m aware, their rates are more competitive than my bank’s (#Maybank). #ShopeePay ‘s doesn’t seem to work, as far as I can tell.

However these have only worked in instances where I’m the one scanning their QR - in one of the (7E) vending machines I’ve seen in #Thailand that supports PromptPay, whereby they scan your QR (instead of the other way around), it’s not worked with my TnG eWallet QR - tho I reckon it’s bcos only the scanning part of TnG is DuitNow-compatible, while the QR it provides ‘to be scanned’, is not.

Quite a headache lol - I imagine it might work if I use my Maybank QR code instead? tho I’ve not tried. Maybank’s conversion rate is pretty shit tho. Prior to my travel, I’ve found and ranked the best currency conversion rate (for THB) is, from best to worst: My local money changer (bizarre, right?) > Wise > TnG eWallet > Maybank.

I might test/investigate this further, later. If the ‘being scanned’ part of the cross-border QR payment method works with my bank’s QR - cool. If that too does not work, then this cross-border QR payment thing’s insufficient (i.e. if it only works when we’re the one scanning the merchant’s QR).
