Thailand's GSB expands deposit network
GSB aims to have a total of 226,000 top-up points.
Thailand's Government Savings Bank (GSB) is expecting to receive central bank approval from its plan to cooperate with three top-up machine service providers as it aims to have the largest deposit network in the country, reports Bangkok Post.
The three providers, which have a combined 211,000 top-up machines nationwide under the brands Boonterm, TermsabuyPlus and Termde, will give GSB a total of 226,000 points to accept deposits, said president Chatchai Payuhanaveechai.
"We expect new client numbers will increase to 2 million a year in three years, with deposits estimated to increase by 5% or 100 billion baht a year over the same period," he said.
The bank expects customers to start depositing money through top-up providers from April 1.
Apart from the three top-up machine operators, GSB recently appointed Thailand Post, TOT, TrueMoney, Central Department Store, and Counter Service as banking agents.
