Finance Ministry Launches 'OmPlus' Savings Bonds from 100 Baht

The Finance Ministry plans to launch its 'OmPlus' savings bond in late July with a total value of 4 billion baht, featuring a minimum investment of just 100 baht through the Pao Tung mobile app or other channels. According to Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanpraphas, the bond aims to democratize access to government securities, making them available to working professionals, retirees, and salaried workers through multiple channels including commercial banks, securities firms, and streaming applications.

Public Debt Management Office Director Jindarat Viriyathaveekul revealed that the offering will occur in late July 2025 with two maturity options—3 years and 10 years. Two purchase channels are available: the Pao Tung wallet offering 2 billion baht on a first-come, first-served basis with 100-baht minimum investments, and the new Bond Connect Platform offering 2 billion baht through banks, securities firms, and streaming apps with a 1,000-baht minimum. The platform was developed collaboratively with Settrade, the Bank of Thailand, and Thailand Securities Depository.

The Finance Ministry plans to offer OmPlus bonds monthly on an ongoing basis to enable continuous savings and long-term financial security. The program supports the government's debt management strategy by diversifying funding sources and expanding the investor base among the general public. Participating financial institutions include Bangkok Bank, Krung Thai Bank, and other commercial banks and securities firms yet to be announced.
