KASIKORNBANK Snapshot
Thais take their money -- and their investment needs -- straight to the KASIKORNBANK (commonly known as KBank). One of the commercial banks in Thailand, KBank operates more than 600 domestic branches and offers banking and financial services through a handful of offices in the Cayman Islands, greater China, and the US. Its menu of services include retail and commercial banking, asset management, consumer lending, trade finance, factoring, and securities handling, as well as hire purchase and leasing businesses. The bank was established in 1945 and listed on the Thai stock exchange (which in turn owns 10% of KBank shares) in 1976.
