Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) has made another move to drive a cashless society in Thailand with e-payment, as the bank joins hands with world class business partner and e-payment provider Alipay to develop an e-payment system supporting Alipay's QR code payment. Hoping that the cooperation will enable Thai merchants to better serve shoppers from China, the feature is now available nationwide. The cooperative effort expects to offer QR code payment service to 200,000 retailer accounts by the end of this year.
