Tripping down to Singapore for work or a holiday just got a lot easier without needing to scramble for cash. PPCBank in Phnom Penh has rolled out a new feature allowing users to simply open the PPCBank Mobile app and scan local QR codes to make direct payments. Whether you are grabbing a drink from a street vendor or shopping at a mall, the experience is just as smooth as using KHQR back home.
This feature is particularly handy for frequent travelers to Singapore, including students, migrant workers, and business people, offering peace of mind by cutting down on the cash you need to carry. According to the bank, the transaction limits are set at 10 million riels per transaction and per day, with zero service fees for now. As long as your phone has an internet connection, payments are deducted directly.
Over the past couple of years, Cambodia's cross-border payment systems have become increasingly integrated with neighboring countries. PPCBank CEO Shin Jeung Kang noted that the initiative aims to provide customers with convenient digital financial services even when they travel abroad. If you are flying off to Singapore anytime soon, be sure to update your mobile app and give the scan-to-pay feature a try.
