BigPay has announced its expansion into Thailand, bringing a new financial solution to travellers and residents alike. BigPay offers everything from saving for trips to making seamless payments worldwide and real-time currency exchange with competitive rates.
BigPay is not just an eWallet; it’s a complete financial tool that helps you manage your finances better. It offers a Visa Virtual card and a physical Visa Platinum Prepaid card available on demand. Users can sign up digitally and start enjoying benefits such as the ability to pay at more than 130 million merchant locations globally, both online and in stores, and withdraw cash from overseas ATMs.
Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A and Executive Chairman of MOVE Digital, shared, “We’re very happy for BigPay to finally arrive in Thailand, as it broadens the ecosystem that we have and offers customers a more wholesome experience with payment options and financial services that enable seamless travel. We want BigPay to be a catalyst for financial inclusion and economic growth in Thailand, where we help bridge the gap for underbanked communities. We look forward to serving the people of Thailand as a brand-new financial services provider in the market and would like to thank all the key stakeholders in making this happen, as well as our partner Visa.”
Apirudee Prachyaset, Country Head of BigPay Thailand, added, “We are excited to introduce BigPay to Thai users, offering a unique travel payment proposition that integrates seamlessly with the AirAsia MOVE ecosystem. Our BigPay Visa Platinum Prepaid Card provides not only special discounts and AirAsia points but also exclusive travel and shopping experiences worldwide. Features like Stash, Roundup, and Analytics are designed to improve financial well-being, helping Thai users develop healthy financial habits and save effortlessly for their travels and future goals.”
Punnamas Vichitkulwongsa, Country Manager for Visa Thailand, said, “We are thrilled to partner with BigPay to elevate the payment experience of Thai digital consumers, who may use it seamlessly whether they are on the road, for their everyday spending, or for online purchases. We believe the speed, convenience, and security that are synonymous with digital payments, together with a suite of privileges, will make BigPay eWallet a preferred choice for our cardholders.”
