BOT Thailand Payment Systems (TPS) modernisation — key milestones

Phase 2 targets 2025–2027

As of2024 (ongoing programme)·Sources2·Primary

The Bank of Thailand's Thailand Payment Systems Roadmap, now in its second strategic phase (TPS 2025–2027), focuses on cross-border QR payment interoperability, digital baht (CBDC) wholesale pilot expansion, and open banking standardisation. Phase 1 delivered PromptPay, QR code merchant standards, and the Any ID payment proxy framework. Phase 2 priorities include linking PromptPay to ASEAN instant-payment networks (Singapore's PayNow, Malaysia's DuitNow, Vietnam's NAPAS) via bilateral QR interoperability agreements, and establishing an open API standard for third-party payment service providers. Thailand signed a bilateral PromptPay–PayNow QR linkage with MAS in 2021, with Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam connections following in subsequent years. The BOT publishes the TPS roadmap and semi-annual progress updates through its Payment Systems Policy Division.
