PVOIL Chairman Cao Hoai Duong stated that PVOIL's fuel sales volume in the first 9 months of 2024 increased by 18% compared to the same period last year.

Accordingly, PVOIL 4U offers comprehensive, pioneering, and specialized solutions for fuel-purchasing customers, with many outstanding features such as: "Fuel voucher gifting"; "Bank credit for fuel purchases"; providing transaction management solutions for customer groups; managing fuel purchase transactions, locating PVOIL petrol stations, managing customer vehicles, checking traffic violations; purchasing vehicle insurance, and more.

Notably, PVOIL has partnered with HDBank to offer customers the benefit of "Fill up first - Pay later" through the bank credit feature for fuel purchases. This comes with simple procedures, no need for proof of income, and zero interest if paid on time. The credit limit for each customer is up to 1 million VND.

From 3 PM on September 30, 2024, PVOIL is organizing a promotional program for the first 9,999 customers who download the app, register a PVOIL 4U account, and successfully complete their first purchase transaction on the PVOIL 4U app. These customers will receive a gift voucher worth 20,000 VND, which can be used in the next transaction to purchase fuel at nearly 900 PVOIL and COMECO petrol stations nationwide.

Simultaneously, customers using HDBank accounts will be able to participate in the "Lucky Wheel" program directly on the PVOIL 4U app from September 30, 2024, to December 15, 2024.

PVOIL Chairman Cao Hoai Duong stated that as the second-largest fuel supplier in Vietnam, PVOIL provides over 5.5 million m3/tons of fuel annually to the domestic market, accounting for about 22 - 25% of the market share. PVOIL is also leading in applying digital transformation to its business operations and management. In the first 9 months of 2024, PVOIL's fuel business volume increased by 18% compared to the same period. The company expects to achieve a revenue of about 120,000 billion VND in 2024. Additionally, PVOIL aims to develop over 100 new petrol stations this year.

A representative from HDBank shared that PVOIL 4U is the first application in Vietnam to automatically grant credit for fuel purchases. The machine learning system will automatically issue fuel credit cards to customers (without needing to go through the bank app to issue a fuel credit card); it will also learn customer habits to potentially increase the fuel credit limit after 3 months of use.
