I was approved for the TrueMoney app this morning but it is not accepting my US passport number which seems to be required to create a PIN.

Does anyone know what I need to do to create a PIN?
Answer summary
The user is experiencing an issue with the TrueMoney app, as it does not accept their US passport number required for PIN creation. Comments suggest that the app may be malfunctioning or expecting a format compatible with Thai identification numbers. Solutions proposed include contacting support, checking app settings, and ensuring mobile data is activated. Users indicate that their ability to use the app may depend on having a long-stay visa or specific identification, and some have successfully navigated similar issues without a Thai ID.

Why would anyone use a phone company and their app to store their money ?

Anonymous participant 210 Because it gives phone and QR code payment to those without local bank accounts.

It also gives domestic virtual visa cards so you can get spotify or youtube at the much cheaper Thai rate rather than keeping a overseas account at western prices.

Because you can buy TrueMoney codes in app to pay for domestic IPTV on the Thai pirate apps..

It gives easy ways to top up mobile accounts etc for people without local banks.

Etc etc etc

The format of the number shown above is that of a Thai ID number which is why it’s not accepting your passport number even though it’s saying passport so it’s a technical issue. You need to contact the support or call them 1240 from a Thai number and explain to them you’re stuck on this page and it’s not allowing because the format required is that of a Thai citizen so it won’t accept. They can reset your account but you’d just have to register again. It might be that the Thai number you’re using could be linked to a previous owner which was Thai in turn that’s why they asking for a 13 digit number as seen in your picture. That format is of a Thai ID

You can get your true money approved with your visa stemps by sending the required documents

I use the app with a Student visa and can pay with scan etc.

Or do you try something else? Coz some options are locked for me and non Thai Citizens

you need to have a Thai passport, Thai ID-card or at least a foreigner pink ID-card. Sorry, this is not for you. Keep withdrawing cash at the ATM

nope. Plenty of foreigners I know including myself, friends and family members have the full advanced level True Money/True Wallet account including full access to Promptpay, without having any Thai ID or Thai passport. You just need a qualifying long stay visa.

I think you are confusing something. You can get the TRUE prepaid cash account on a tourist visa, but you can't get what the OP described

Thank you. I'm unable to access my account settings and chat because it is requiring me to set up a PIN first.
