FPS x Promptpay QR payment allows you to make instant payments to merchants in Thailand from your HKD bank account through HSBC HK App. It is available 24/7 and free of charge.

You can open your HSBC HK App, select 'FPS transfer', then select 'Scan to pay' and scan the Thai merchant's QR code to make payment. We'll ask you to verify your payment details including exchange rate, and authorise the payment with your biometric authentication or your Mobile Security Key. If your payment is successful, we'll notify you via both SMS and email. You may also check with the merchant directly.

This is an indicative live rate. The actual rate is subject to market fluctuation and will be verified before you confirm the payment.

Outside of normal trading hours (from Monday 7:00am to Saturday 4:15am HKT during US daylight saving time, or 5:15am HKT the rest of the year) and on Hong Kong public holidays, the exchange rate will be with a wider bid/ ask difference.

You can use this service with Thai merchants that support PromptPay and the QR code is tagged to any of the following financial institutions (covering around 90% of PromptPay merchants):

Bank of Ayudhya (also known as "Krungsri")
Bangkok Bank
Kasikornbank (also known as "KBank")
Krungthai Bank
Siam Commercial Bank (also known as "SCB")

Notes

The applicable all-inclusive exchange rate for each transaction will include applicable Settling Banking (SB) handling fee (in the form of currency exchange spread) and a reasonable exchange cost for this service.

Currency conversion risk: the value of your foreign currency and RMB deposit will be subject to the risk of exchange rate fluctuation. If you choose to convert your foreign currency and RMB deposit to other currencies at an exchange rate that is less favourable than the exchange rate in which you made your original conversion to that foreign currency and RMB, you may suffer loss in principal.
