In addition, MFU developed and improved a financial management system in order to increase the efficiency of Thailand’s payment infrastructure system and move towards a cashless society.
The agreement was aimed at encouraging a fast and smooth financial management system for MFU through the modern financial innovation supported by Krungthai Bank including an e-donation service, a University e-Money Card, an EDC machine, PromtPay and QR Code payments. The time-saving system is used to provide easy and convenient e-payments for goods and services acquired by the various university departments and in the shops by students and staff.
