LISTED Philippine Seven Corp. (PSC) plans to expand its digital payment capabilities across its store network because it seeks to enhance customer convenience.
“We’re working on it. Moving forward, we aim to extend our digital payment capability to 100%,” PSC President Richard Lee said during a briefing on Thursday.
Mr. Lee said about 98% of the corporate’s store network is already equipped to just accept digital payments.
In line with PSC, cashless payment acceptance expanded from greater than 1,000 stores at the tip of 2025 to greater than 4,000 stores as of the tip of May 2026, allowing customers to pay using credit and debit cards, QR Ph, e-wallets, and other cashless payment options.
PSC is the exclusive licensee of the 7-Eleven convenience store brand within the Philippines.
“We enter the subsequent chapter with confidence. Our focus now could be on execution—opening the proper stores, deepening how we serve customers, and scaling the digital and payment capabilities we built this 12 months,” Mr. Lee said.
“That’s how we’ll keep 7-Eleven essentially the most convenient selection for Filipinos, wherever they’re,” he added.
The corporate said it stays on the right track to expand its network to five,000 stores this 12 months.
PSC expanded its 7-Eleven network to 4,491 stores in 2025 from 4,130 a 12 months earlier, opening 361 latest stores. Of the full, 53.42% are company-owned, while 46.58% are franchised.
This 12 months, PSC has earmarked P5 billion in capital expenditures (capex) to open 400 additional stores by yearend, because it continues expanding despite global uncertainties linked to the conflict within the Middle East.
Shares in PSC rose 1.68% to P33.35 each on Thursday. — Alexandria Grace C. Magno
