Bangkok Bank has introduced a new five-month fixed deposit account with an interest rate of 3.80 percent per annum. Customers can open the new deposit account at any Bangkok Bank branch from August 4-18, 2008. The minimum deposit is Baht 50,000 and the maximum deposit Baht 5 million. Each customer is limited to one account.

Bangkok Bank Executive Vice President Ruchanee Nopmuang said the bank has introduced a new five-month fixed deposit account which is available for individual customers and non-profit juristic persons in Thailand. The new deposit account carries an interest rate of 3.80 percent per annum. Accounts can be opened at any Bangkok Bank branch from August 4-18, 2008, with a minimum deposit of Baht 50,000 but not more than Baht 5 million. Each customer can open only one account.

"The introduction of the five-month deposit account ties in with our objective of increasing our retail customer base and providing more options to customers. It will also provide an alternative choice to people who are reorganizing their investments because of the introduction of the Deposit Insurance Act. At the end of June 2008, Bangkok Bank, excluding affiliates, had total assets worth more than Baht 1.6 trillion and the ratio of capital to risk assets was 14.7 percent, which reflects the bank’s strong position," Mrs. Ruchanee said.

Interested customers can open the above-mentioned deposit accounts at any Bangkok Bank branch nationwide, and obtain further information from Bualuang Phone on 1333, or by visiting www.bangkokbank.com.
