Designated Tap & Go users3 can simply scan the FPS x PromptPay QR codes using their Tap & Go mobile wallets to make FPS payments at over 8 million merchants supporting PromptPay in Thailand, avoiding not only a trip to convert Hong Kong Dollars to Thai Baht but also the relevant handling fees. Tap & Go's pay-as-you-go design and App-to-App top-up features4 give users flexible control over their spending and the ability to conveniently top up their e-wallets. Time-limited spending rebates
