How can I unlock a full True Money account with a DTV visa in Thailand?

Alone_in_CM26 so I can’t see the point, if I need to get cash out I may as well just use cash.

Moreta was great as could top up using a card or Apple Pay but they had to switch off personal QR’s

Important Update: ThaiQR Payments Temporarily Suspended

Hi there,

Unfortunately, this morning we received notice from local regulators, our licensed payment service provider partners, and local banking partners that Moreta is required to temporarily suspend ThaiQR payment services once again.

Our team is actively working with our partners and regulators to restore service as quickly as possible. We will notify all affected users by email as soon as ThaiQR payments are available again.

Please note that this suspension currently does not impact Canadian or United States passport holders, who will continue to have access to ThaiQR payment services as normal.

If you would like to withdraw your balance, please contact our customer support team. We will assist with the withdrawal process and reimburse any fees incurred as part of the withdrawal.

We sincerely apologize for this disruption and the inconvenience it may cause. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support.

If you have any questions, visit our Help Center or contact Moreta Support

– The Moreta team

HandyBison9267 I signed up back in April/May. it only worked for like 3 weeks or so. they keep suspending the service in Thailand all the time.

I think only Americans and Canadians have the service uninterrupted.

The Fees are high and service is sh*t.

Also, a lot of market vendors sell using their personal QR. So cannot use it reliably on all shops. you can already use your card in , lotus, restaurants, massage shops, ...

So what's the point of paying top up fees + conversion fees + spending fees on this stupid unreliable app if it doesn't support personal QRs???

Truemoney is the most reliable option for now, I wish they can give us a way to top up with a foreign card or transfer from abroad.

if you do the math, for THB10K for instance (if we are talking about big amount like this), the top up fee with 4.5% top up fee, that is THB450. In this regard, withdrawing cash at an ATM with THB250, will save you more. You can't to up via Thai bank ATM. If you choose to top you at Lotus, you top up with cash with a minimal fee of THB10. Very inconvenient. Cut the story short, i use TrueMoney, more convenient, you can top up for free at any 7-11. I would usually withdraw 20k per transaction at an ATM, so that is a single THB250. no other fees whatsoever. Like I said I would only top up my DeepPocket, 1K at a time in times of emergency.

@Dany *******

huh? Many of us on DTV has bank account. Why would that be trolling?

And yes you can still get a bank account on DTV. Though nowadays that means paying an agent. I opened mine without agent with medical DTV + hospital paperwork.

@Tore ********

foreign credit cards are usually not working for top up. and what is a bbl app?

@Dany *******

within true money + bbl app. But there’s also a credit card option if you have a full True Money account.
