YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Scaling beyond a crowded, low-margin payments market
- PromptPay had more than 80 million registered IDs in 2024, intensifying competition as banks, wallets and merchants pursue volume amid thin fees.
- Against this backdrop, YCP maps profitable segments, refines payment propositions and builds partnership roadmaps that convert transaction data into revenue.
Navigating licensing and evolving regulatory requirements
- The Bank of Thailand selected three virtual-bank applicants in 2025, while licensing, AML and data rules continue to lengthen fintech market-entry paths.
- To move confidently through this environment, YCP combines regulatory diagnostics, operating-model design and launch planning for compliant growth.
Building responsible credit models amid high household debt
- Thailand's household debt remained near 87% of GDP in 2024, limiting borrowers' capacity and raising the need for sharper underwriting and collections.
- This calls for YCP to help lenders segment customers, apply alternative-data insights and design risk controls that support sustainable credit expansion.
Strengthening trust as digital fraud becomes more costly
- Reported online-scam losses exceeded THB 35 billion in 2024, increasing customer caution and placing greater pressure on fintech security and response systems.
- In response, YCP helps firms prioritize fraud-use cases, improve customer journeys and develop governance models that protect trust while enabling growth.
