Company records put cashless payment acceptance at more than 1,000 7-Eleven stores at the end of 2025 and more than 4,000 by the end of May 2026.

7-Eleven Philippines Extends Cashless Payments Past 4,000 Stores

Back End News identifies Philippine Seven Corp. as the exclusive licensor of 7-Eleven in the Philippines.

The rollout sits alongside store modernisation, technology investment, supply-chain improvements and operational efficiency work.

The payment programme covers credit cards, debit cards, QR Ph, e-wallets and other digital payment methods.

The retailer framed it as part of a wider digital transformation effort for customer experience and store operations.

Richard Lee, president of Philippine Seven Corp., said the company is focused on execution, opening the right stores, serving customers more deeply and scaling the digital and payment capabilities built during the year.

PSC Records ₱99.4 Billion In System-Wide Sales

System-wide sales were recorded at ₱99.4 billion for 2025, compared with ₱93.5 billion in 2024, with growth listed at 6.4%.

Revenue for 2025 was listed at ₱95.1 billion, a 7.2% increase.

The increase was attributed to higher customer traffic, larger basket sizes and store expansion.

Financial figures showed ₱3.6 billion in net income, ₱47.8 billion in total assets after 10.5% growth, ₱11.2 billion in stockholders' equity after 23% growth, and a 35.61% return on equity.

Lee described 2025 as another solid year in a demanding environment and linked the investment programme to customer and shareholder service.

Store Network Reaches 4,491 Locations

Store count reached 4,491 at the end of 2025, compared with 4,130 a year earlier, according to the published figures.

The company listed 361 store openings during the year as the network expanded across more communities in the Philippines.

The store mix remained slightly weighted towards company-owned locations.

Company-owned stores were listed at 53.42% of the network and franchised stores at 46.58%.

Fresh food and proprietary foodservice brands were described as contributors to sales growth across stores.

The remaining public details do not include a breakdown by payment method, food category or store format.

Leadership Change Accompanies The Digital Rollout

The year also included a management change.

Lee became president of Philippine Seven Corp. in July 2025, while Jose Victor Paterno became chair of the board.

The remaining public-record gaps are transaction volumes for the cashless rollout, payment-fee terms, named payment partners and store-level adoption rates after May 2026.
