Cashless Payments Reach Over 4,000 Stores
One of PSC's key initiatives during the year was the expansion of cashless payment acceptance. The company initially rolled out cashless payments to more than 1,000 stores by the end of 2025 before expanding the service to over 4,000 branches as of May 2026. Customers can now use credit cards, debit cards, QR Ph, e-wallets, and other digital payment options in participating stores.
PSC said these investments form part of its broader strategy to improve convenience for customers while enhancing operational efficiency through continued digital transformation.
Looking ahead, the company plans to continue opening stores in strategic locations, strengthen customer engagement, and further expand its digital capabilities as it enters its next phase of growth.
