To enhance capabilities of digital financial transactions, KBank has worked with Big C Supercenter through the launch of the new service for accepting QR payment and cash deposit at any cashier counter of more than 1,200 Big C outlets across the country.
Mr. Patchara Samalapa, KBank President, said that "KBank, as a strategic partner, which has expertise in financial solutions and digital banking will help facilitate Big C customers in conducting various financial transactions at a single place with ease and security. Every Big C cashier counter of any format throughout the country will act as a K PLUS SHOP outlet to accept QR payment via K PLUS and other mobile banking applications and e-wallet payment by Chinese clients, especially travelers who use Alipay and WeChat Pay applications.
KBank has also appointed Big C as its banking agent to offer "KBank Service", starting from cash deposit-taking to a KBank account on a real-time basis. KBank is confident of Big C employees' readiness in providing services to allow customers to perform financial transactions at any Big C cashier counter even during non-banking hours.
Mrs. Vipada Duangratana, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Big C Supercenter PCL., a retailer of BJC, said that "Big C has cooperated with KBank to upgrade our counter cashier service at over 1,200 branches nationwide. Under this collaboration, over 10,000 cashiers, who have undergone training, are able to offer deposit-taking and QR Code payment services to meet the growing cashless lifestyle of Thai customers and bill payments by international customers, in particular Chinese tourists, who regularly shop at Big C.
