True Money, operating under Ascend Money, has launched an eligibility check campaign for Ascend Pay Next, a buy now, pay later service, on the True Money app as of April 27, 2025. True Money, a leading electronic payment and financial services provider in Southeast Asia under Ascend Money, is partnering with various players to expand digital financial services access. The campaign aims to make digital credit easily accessible to a wide range of users, who can check their eligibility for Ascend Pay Next immediately through the True Money app or by scanning QR codes distributed nationwide, including outdoor advertising at BTS stations and online channels.

True and dtac customers enjoy even easier eligibility verification by simply dialing *399*555# to check their credit status instantly. Customers can also use Ascend Pay Next to pay True bills through True Money with up to 60 baht cashback credit, or receive 20 baht monthly cashback for three consecutive months when paying automatic service charges through Ascend Pay Next.

From May 15 through December 31, 2025, customers can also use Ascend Pay Next for 0% installment plans up to three months at all True Shop branches on any item in the store, making technology purchases more accessible. Ascend Pay Next is a buy now, pay later service for everyday purchases and services requiring no upfront cash payment. Through the True Money app, approval is simple with no document submission required, with results in five minutes and credit limits up to 20,000 baht. Once approved, funds can be used immediately with no interest if paid within the specified timeframe, or customers can choose an installment plan.

Thannyapong Thammawaranukup, Co-Managing Director of Ascend Money, stated: "This campaign is another important step in making credit easily accessible through familiar everyday channels, whether through mobile apps or USSD. Ascend Pay Next is a crucial service that enhances spending flexibility for True Money users and can be used both online and offline at major retailers and stores nationwide."

Ascend Pay Next is provided by Ascend Nano, a credit service provider operating under supervision and integrated through the True Money platform, enabling users to access comprehensive financial services within a single app. Both companies operate under the Ascend Money group, which develops interconnected digital financial services to expand financial access for a broader consumer base.

Ascend Money is among those licensed to establish a virtual bank, reflecting readiness to leverage digital platform potential and fintech expertise to develop new forms of financial services with broader coverage.
