Siam Commercial Bank, Visa, SoftSpace launch tap-to-pay services at two Bangkok markets

Businesses can provide the service either through a smartphone or dedicated EDC machine.

Siam Commercial Bank has teamed up with Visa and Soft Space to offer tap-to-pay services at the Chatuchak Weekend Market and Pratunam Market, two of Bangkok’s shopping districts.

The initiative introduces a contactless payment solution that enables merchants to accept credit and debit card payments directly through their existing smartphones. This offers a flexible and convenient option alongside EDC terminals, with no additional hardware required, according to a press release.

Whether using a smartphone or a dedicated EDC machine, businesses can now provide a seamless, cashless shopping experience.
