Dr. Akniti Nitithanprapas, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, revealed that the Ministry of Finance will begin selling the second issuance of government savings bonds, Bond Plus, on 4 September 2026. The interest rates and maturities will match those of the first issuance: 3-year bonds at a fixed rate of 1.80% per annum and 10-year bonds at 2.80% per annum. This allows investors seeking to increase their investments to continue doing so, following the successful reception of the first Bond Plus issuance, which allocated bonds to 22,703 retail investors nationwide through both the Wallet SBM and Bond Connect platforms. The total subscription amounted to 16,511 million baht, approximately eight times the issuance amount. Investors will benefit from “Plus” features beyond traditional savings: “Plus” monthly availability, accessible and inclusive saving options (Financial Inclusion); “Plus” attractive returns with incentivizing interest rates; “Plus” a secondary market mechanism ensuring transparent, true pricing; and “Plus” expanded sales channels through Wallet SBM, commercial banks, securities companies, and the Streaming app.
Interested individuals can choose investment options that suit their savings and convenience. Bond Plus will be available through the Wallet SBM wallet on the Paotang app, where investors will receive bonds corresponding to their purchase amount starting 4 September 2026. Alternatively, investors can book bonds through commercial banks, securities companies, and the Streaming app with 24 authorized distributors, who guarantee bond issuance from 7 to 9 September 2026. This round of Bond Plus issuance in September 2026 totals 4 billion baht, divided equally with 2 billion baht via Wallet SBM and 2 billion baht via the Bond Connect platform, with details as follows.
The government savings bonds, Bond Plus, sold through the Wallet SBM wallet on the Paotang app, are suitable for those wishing to start saving with small amounts, with a minimum purchase of 100 baht. Allocation follows a first-come, first-served basis until the issuance limit is reached. The maximum purchase limit per transaction has been reduced to 1 million baht (from 3 million) to encourage wider bond ownership. Investors can buy up to 50 million baht per individual.
Interested buyers should download the Paotang app, register and verify their identity in advance, and prepare funds in the Wallet SBM. Funds can be added via Mobile Banking linked to a Krungthai Bank account or by depositing Wallet ID at any Krungthai Bank branch. 2. Bond Plus sales through Bond Connect Platform.
Investors interested in subscribing to Bond Plus through the 24 participating commercial banks and securities companies, as well as the Streaming app, must open a securities trading account before booking (which takes approximately 3 to 5 business days depending on the distributor’s process). Subscriptions start at 1,000 baht. This channel uses a Small Lot First allocation method, distributing bonds in rounds of 1,000 baht per investor. Therefore, booking early or late within the period does not affect allocation rights. This method ensures all investors receive bonds.
If the final round’s available funds are insufficient for all orders, allocations will be randomly assigned until funds are fully allocated. Investors will be notified of allocation results on 10 September 2026 and refunded the same day if under-allocated or unallocated. Issuance amounts via Wallet SBM and Bond Connect platforms are separate. Investors may choose one or both channels according to their preference. Bond Plus bonds are scripless, with no physical certificates issued. Investors can check their investment and transactions through distributor channels, the Streaming app, and the Wiset app.
