PetroTrade representative Ms Chanthadom Meksavanh said the Plus Card gives customers the convenience of simply using an electronic swipe card rather than going through the hassle of making cash payments at PetroTrade’s stations. The convenience of the plastic cards will mean customers spend less time at the pump and more time getting to where they are going, she enthused. “We decided to collaborate on the Plus Card project due to customer demand. Such services are already available in other countries, but this is the first time that customers in Laos have been able to use a card for fuel payments and other payments at PetroTrade’s petrol stations,” BCEL Managing Director Mr Vanhkham Voravong said. The collaboration between the two parties will modernise service systems and implement BCEL’s business plan and strategy at the same time. It will allow the expansion of various services through upgradingto modern technology and equipment, he explained.
