Bangkok, 7 November 2025 – Lalamove, the leading on-demand delivery platform, has partnered with LINE BK, Thailand’s first Social Banking platform on LINE application, to host an exclusive financial literacy workshop, “Road to Financial Safety with Lalamove and LINE BK,” designed to equip Lalamove driver partners with essential financial skills and knowledge. The initiative seeks to improve their quality of life and build long-term financial security.
According to the Center for Economic and Business Forecasting, University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, informal debt in Thailand surged to 35% of total household debt in 2025, up from 30.1% last year. This growing reliance on informal loans highlights the increasing financial burden on Thai households. For gig workers such as Lalamove driver partners, limited access to formal bank loans often forces them to rely on informal lenders, exposing them to heightened financial risks.
Mr. Ben Lin, Managing Director of Lalamove Thailand, said, “Our driver partners are at the heart of Lalamove and the local economy. We want them not only to enjoy the flexible schedule of being our driver partners and earn additional income through our platform, but also to develop strong financial skills to manage their earnings sustainably, avoid financial risks, and build a more secure future. This workshop goes beyond simply sharing knowledge; it provides practical financial know-how they can apply in their daily lives. At the same time, we are committed to supporting our driver partners with access to safe and responsible financial solutions, whether for vehicle funding or emergency needs.”
Mr. Tana Pothikamjorn, CEO of LINE BK, added, “LINE BK believes that self-employed individuals, including gig workers have significantly contributed Thailand’s economy since nowadays there are more than 21 million* self-employed individuals, reflecting both their significant share and important role in the labor market. However, majority of them still face challenges to access formal financial services and have limited access to financial knowledge.
Lalamove’s driver partners are part of this gig economy. That is why LINE BK has joined this collaboration—to strengthen financial literacy while providing safe and suitable funding options. Our goal is to help build greater financial security and support a better quality of life in a sustainable way.
As part of this collaboration, LINE BK is offering an exclusive privilege for Lalamove driver partners: those who apply for a LINE BK loan and receive approval will get a 300 THB cash back.** This serves as an initial step in a partnership that will continue to provide ongoing support and responsible financial solutions in the future.”

In addition to this collaboration, LINE BK contributed to the partnership by delivering a financial literacy session that included guidance on emergency fund preparation, saving methods, and effective income management. To ensure relevance, interactive exercises and real-life simulations reflecting driver partners’ everyday challenges were also incorporated to encourage better financial decision-making.

Mr. Phiphat Eakphichitmarn, a Lalamove driver partner from Thailand, shared: “I really appreciate that Lalamove and LINE BK organized this workshop. Beyond giving me the chance to earn additional income every day, Lalamove also cares about our future. This workshop opened my eyes to the importance of long-term financial planning, which makes me feel more secure and motivated.”
