Hi everyone, I've had a retirement visa for 5 years and I have two Thai bank accounts, Bangkok Bank and Krunsgri Bank, but I don't understand why I can't get the QR code to receive money. Does anyone know? Thanks as always for answering my questions.
Answer summary
The user is experiencing difficulties obtaining a QR code for receiving money through their Thai bank accounts (Bangkok Bank and Krungsri Bank). Community responses suggest that to generate a QR code, one must register for PromptPay through their bank app. It is emphasized that only one bank account can be linked to a single phone number for this service. Users recommended visiting the bank for assistance and checking the bank app's options for QR code generation.

The bank asked me if l wanted this option on my account, if you no at the time you won’t have it.

You will need to go to your bank and ask them to add it.

it is in the app usually. k bank has it as menu item and you can save it to your phone photo gallery, bangkok bank the same when you select scan. You can also have payment to your thai phone number but 1 bank only.

You can only use one phone number for a prompt pay code. You would need different numbers for different banks

Not sure if I understand the question correctly. The QR code that you can send or show to someone so that you can receive money into your account? In the Bangkok Bank app, it’s available in “More Services” under My QR.
