In 2022, the volume ratio indicated 73.6% for offline transactions and 26.4% for online. There were 53,323,000 card transactions at point-of-sale, amounting to THB 139,000,000 million. In the corresponding period of 2023, the trend continued, with offline transactions accounting for 79.6% and online for 20.4%. The number of card transactions at point-of-sale increased to 56,118,000, with a total value of THB 151,000,000.

GHL's All-In-One EDC machine resolves these challenges by supporting 0% installment plans for credit cards from six major Thai banks. We’re continuously developing our system to support cards from other banks, which can further drive sales, streamline operations, save processing time, optimise space, and simplify sales reporting. Currently, this service is already available at Vincent Clinics, Home Plus Furniture Mall, Mum & Me Maternity and Kids Products Center, with plans to expand to over 5,000 locations nationwide by year-end,” added Prinya.
