The first 3 million poor and disabled persons — out of a full of 14.5 million — will get their 10, 000-baht flyer under the president’s digital wallet initiative on Wednesday, according to Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat.
Just 3 million eligible consumers can be served at first because of the PromptPay payment system’s limits. Before Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra takes part in the official start at 9am on Wednesday, resources were scheduled to be transferred to consumers ‘ bank accounts at evening.
According to Mr. Julapun, registered recipients may access the results using the Rath Jai app, which the Comptroller General’s Office developed for those receiving state security benefits.
