Rapyd Kicks off in Thailand Partnering Leading Thai Payment Solution Providers

Rapyd, a Fintech-as-a-Service company, has announced the launch of its ‘all-in-one’ suite of payment capabilities in Thailand which is its seventh global market.

Rapyd’s solution is a comprehensive set of local and international payment methods that includes local ewallets, bank transfers, cash, credit and debit cards. International companies can now offer localised checkout experiences with access to the list of local payment methods preferred by Thai consumers.

Rapyd has partnered with leading Thai payment solution providers, including Rabbit LINE Pay, Omise, Razer Merchant Services and GB Prime Pay.

Businesses based in Thailand will also reportedly be able to access Rapyd’s Global Payments Network and expand internationally into more than 100 markets around the world by accepting payments from consumers in any of the 900 local payment methods supported by Rapyd.

According to JPMorgan, Thailand is the second largest e-commerce market in South East Asia with cross-border spending making up 50% of Thailand’s e-commerce spend. Thailand’s mobile commerce is valued at $8.9 billion in-app and $4.7 billion in-browser mobile purchases.
