Customers of Singtel's e-wallet Dash can now scan and pay for their purchases in Thailand with their smartphones, under a new payment network launched yesterday.
The move is the first step in an initiative called VIA, spearheaded by Singtel. It aims to do away with the hassle for travellers of having to exchange money.
