reader Posted November 12 Posted November 12 From Fintech News The National Bank of Cambodia (NBC) has launched the Bakong Tourists app in collaboration with Mastercard at a ceremony in Phnom Penh. The app simplifies digital payments for international tourists visiting Cambodia. Tourists can download the app upon arrival and seamlessly top up their Bakong accounts using their Mastercard issued in their home countries. This allows them to scan KHQR codes and pay at over 3.3 million merchants across Cambodia, a major advantage in a country where only 60,000 POS machines accept card payments. The app is available for download on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. vinapu, 10tazione, splinter1949 and 1 other 4 Quote

10tazione Posted November 12 Posted November 12 No ratings yet in google play store, but eventually I might be able to try it out soon. Quote
vinapu Posted November 14 Posted November 14 If you top it up from Mastercard likely it will be treated as cash advance and interest will be carded from day 1. I can't see this being, to put it mildly, my preferred option. Quote
