Users of PromptPay may instantly transfer Thai Baht between accounts by using their mobile phone number, citizen identity number (ID), e-wallet ID, company tax ID, biller ID, or bank account number. It is incredibly secure and closely supervised by the Bank of Thailand.
Flywire will provide you with a special bank account number to send the money via PromptPay using your banking app on your phone, internet banking, or at the ATM when you choose to pay via domestic bank transfer in Thai Baht (THB).
Launched in January 2017, the initiative enrolled 40 million individuals by the middle of 2018. The government has great support for the service.
PromptPay is chosen at checkout, and then a QR code is scanned using a favourite app. Once the transaction is approved a notification is received that the payment has been successfully made.

If conditions permit, I like to use Apple Pay. In theory, NFC is the most secure. And you only need to press twice and touch Face ID. It is also very convenient online. Meituan, Didi and Duoduo all use this.
I've been very happy with ClickDealer. They’ve been around for a while, and have some great offers that you usually can't find anywhere else. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
