Business segments
Core
Credit card portfolio
AEON-branded credit cards issued through bank partnerships and direct issuance. One of the largest Thai credit-card portfolios outside the major commercial banks. Targets mass-market and lower-middle income segments with accessible credit limits and instalment plans.
Consumer finance
Hire-purchase financing
Point-of-sale hire-purchase for consumer electronics, household appliances, and motorcycles. Distributed through AEON retail partnership points-of-sale and standalone AEON branches. Historically strong in rural and semi-urban consumer credit.
Lending
Personal loans and cash advances
Unsecured personal-loan and cash-advance products for existing credit-card customers. Average loan size targeted at working-capital and household consumption needs. Key growth segment as digital application channels lower acquisition cost.
Rewards
AEON Point and loyalty program
AEON Point loyalty scheme linked to AEON Group retail footprint (AEON mall, MaxValu, AEON mini). Closed-loop loyalty drives card utilization and reduces churn vs bank-issued cards without retail anchor.
