Makro Collaborates with Visa and Mastercard to Expand Digital Payment Experience with QR Credit Card Payment at Makro Nationwide

The new payment solution allows customers to pay with their credit card directly through their mobile phone at checkout, without the need to present a physical card. In collaboration with Visa and Mastercard credit cards, and leading financial institutions across Thailand, the payment solution at Makro provides the full benefits of credit card usage and rewards options. The solution also speeds up checkout and generates digital transaction records, simplifying expense management, VAT documentation, and cash flow tracking.

Makro members will continue to earn Makro PRO Points on eligible purchases while also receiving their credit card's standard benefits, including cashback, and seasonal promotions, subject to the terms and conditions of each issuing bank. Participating leading financial institutions, for example, CardX, KBank, KCC, KTC, BBL, TTB, and AEON.

Mr. Sirote Vichayabhai, Chief Finance Officer - Group Wholesale, CP AXTRA Public Company Limited, said: "QR Credit Card Payment is a clear step forward in our journey to transform the retail experience through digital innovation. Our vision is to make every visit to Makro easier, faster, and more rewarding—whether for household shoppers, restaurant operators, or SMEs growing their businesses. This service expands customer choice, removes friction at checkout, and enables us to serve a broader range of customers with diverse needs, lifestyles, and payment preferences. As economic challenges continue to affect households and businesses, greater convenience and financial flexibility have become increasingly important. This solution makes everyday purchasing more seamless while reinforcing our ambition to become one of ASEAN's leading retail tech companies."

Mr. Anthony Watson, Country Manager, Visa Thailand, said: "Visa is focused on expanding how Thai consumers and businesses can pay and be paid in ways that are simple, secure, and aligned with how they live and operate each day. As QR payments continue to scale rapidly across Thailand, enabling credit on QR at Makro marks an important step in extending greater purchasing flexibility, particularly for SMEs managing cash flow and working capital. Through our partnerships with Makro and leading Thai banks, we are helping broaden access to digital payments, while strengthening how businesses manage everyday spending and participate more confidently in Thailand's growing digital economy."

Mrs. Winnie Wong, Country Manager, Thailand and Myanmar, Mastercard, said: "The launch of QR Credit Card Payment at Makro reflects Mastercard's ongoing commitment to advancing digital payment innovation through solutions like Mastercard QR. This capability supports Makro's efforts to enhance the customer experience while broadening access to cashless payments across its stores. Together, we are making digital payments more convenient, secure and accessible for consumers across Thailand."

Beyond convenience, the touch-free payment journey also strengthens security by reducing the need to present or handle a physical card and supports better hygiene in the shopping environment.

To mark the launch, Makro is offering customers up to 5X Makro PRO Points when paying via QR Credit Card Payment, making every purchase even more rewarding from 10 June 2026 onwards, subject to terms and conditions.
