The event provided a platform to recognize achievements within Thailand’s startup ecosystem while highlighting the role of technology companies and digital platforms in the country’s evolving economy.

More Than a Decade of Trust and Innovation at PraIn FinTech
PraIn FinTech has continued to develop its financial technology capabilities through ChillPay, with payment solutions designed to support merchants and businesses operating in Thailand’s increasingly digital economy.
Over more than a decade of operations, the company has continued to develop its technology, software engineering processes, payment infrastructure, and services in response to changing business requirements.
This long-term development is also reflected in the standards and processes associated with ChillPay’s technology.
International Software Engineering Standard: ISO/IEC 29110
ChillPay has achieved ISO/IEC 29110 certification, an international standard focused on software engineering processes for very small entities, including areas such as project management and software implementation.
For PraIn FinTech, the certification reflects a structured approach to software development behind ChillPay, including project planning, development processes, testing, quality control, and continuous improvement.
These processes are particularly relevant in financial technology, where payment platforms need to maintain consistent software development practices while continuing to respond to changing merchant and customer requirements.
Financial Regulatory Compliance
As a provider operating within Thailand’s electronic payment environment, PraIn FinTech and ChillPay maintain policies designed to comply with applicable laws, regulations, rules, and guidelines issued by relevant authorities, including the Bank of Thailand (BOT).
This regulatory context is important for merchants choosing payment technology because financial services require not only functionality but also appropriate operational, compliance, and security processes.
PCI DSS v4.0.1 Payment Security Standard
ChillPay states that its payment services comply with PCI DSS v4.0.1, a global payment card industry security standard designed to strengthen the protection of payment card data and payment environments.
Payment security remains an important component of online commerce, particularly for businesses accepting card payments and other forms of digital transactions.
Together with its software engineering processes, ChillPay’s focus on payment security supports PraIn FinTech’s broader approach to developing payment technology for businesses.
Innovative Payment Solutions from PraIn FinTech and ChillPay
Through ChillPay, PraIn FinTech continues to develop payment solutions for different business models and payment requirements.
These solutions include:
- All-in-One Payment Solutions for businesses that need to accept digital payments
- ChillPay Link for creating payment links that can be shared with customers through chat and online communication channels
- ChillPay Out for automated payout processes
- Recurring Payment features for businesses operating subscription-based or recurring billing models
These services allow businesses to select payment capabilities based on their operational requirements rather than relying on a single payment method.

Supporting Thai Merchants and Business Partners
Technology is only one part of a payment service. Businesses also need access to support when they encounter operational or technical issues.
ChillPay provides Thai support and technical service teams to assist merchants and business partners with its payment services.
For businesses operating online, having access to local support can be particularly important when integrating payment systems, managing transactions, or addressing technical questions related to payment operations.
This combination of payment technology, software development processes, security standards, and merchant support forms part of PraIn FinTech’s long-term development of the ChillPay platform.
“The Startup Survivor Club 2026 award would not have been possible without the trust and support of our merchants, partners, and team members throughout the past 10 years. PraIn FinTech remains committed to continuously developing secure and innovative financial technology solutions to support Thai businesses for many years to come.”
