Foreign Currency Deposit Account

Companies or juristic persons registered abroad or in Thailand can open Foreign Currency Deposit Accounts in any of 14 currencies. The Foreign Currency Deposit Account is a convenient way to insulate your business from currency risks, while if you receive income in a foreign currency you will save on transaction fees. The account also enables you to act quickly when exchange rates move in your favor.

A Foreign Currency Deposit Account can be opened as a savings, fixed deposit or current account. You can transfer funds into your local baht account, to an overseas account. The minimum initial deposit is USD 5,000 or the equivalent in another currency.
