  1. holy crap #samsung UI looks garbage even compared to other #android ‘skins’ lololol but #samsungpay integrating #duitnowQR now is seriously cool. they’re starting with #maybank but seems like they’ll add #shopeepay too. #apple needs to get in on this instead of only supporting the ‘traditional’ NFC payments. cooler if they can even figure out supporting these QR payments without internet connection, but dk if dats technically feasible.

  2. 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).
