Bangkok Bank reports a net profit of Baht 38,247 million for the nine months of 2025

October 21, 2025

In the third quarter of 2025, the Thai economy slowed in tandem with exports, which expanded at a slower pace, reflecting the deceleration of front-loaded orders from trading partners. Meanwhile, the services sector, a key driver of economic growth, continued to face headwinds from lower-than-expected tourist arrivals, particularly due to a decline in visitors from China. Headline inflation remained negative for the fifth consecutive month, reflecting persistent weakness in domestic demand. Concurrently, the government’s ability to implement fiscal stimulus was constrained by limited budgetary space and elevated levels of public debt, thereby reducing its capacity to support and drive economic growth. Overall, the economy faced headwinds from both external and domestic fronts. Global economic uncertainty, U.S. tariff measures, and structural constraints continued to undermine consumer confidence and private investment, resulting the near-term economic outlook fragile.

Amid increasing challenges in business operations and rapid developments driven by trade policies of major economies, interconnectedness of trade and supply chains, changes in environmental policies and regulations in response to intensifying climate change, along with the rapid advancement of technology and innovation, all reflect the dynamics that compel organizations of all sizes to adapt in order to survive and succeed in this evolving context. Bangkok Bank remains committed to providing tailored advice and support to each customer segment, standing alongside them as a “trusted partner and reliable close friend”, offering both financial resources and knowledge needed to navigate changes effectively to stay competitiveness. Furthermore, the Bank leverages its regionalization strategy to support businesses to seek growth opportunities by expanding internationally. The Bank also aligns with government policies aimed at enabling Thailand’s transition to a sustainable economy, including “You Fight, We Help” measure to alleviate debt burdens and foster long-term financial recovery. At the same time, the Bank places importance on prudent management, together with adhering to responsible lending guidelines and committing to providing financial services that support social and environmental responsibility, while fostering sustainable growth.

Bangkok Bank reported a net profit of Baht 38,247 million for the nine months of 2025

Bangkok Bank and its subsidiaries reported a net profit for the nine months of 2025 of Baht 38,247 million, an increase of 9.9 percent compared to the same period last year, driven by effective asset management and a diversified revenue base amid multifaceted economic challenges. Net interest income amounted to Baht 94,364 million, with a net interest margin of 2.81 percent, in line with interest rate trends. Non-interest income increased due to gains on financial instruments measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL), and gains on investments. Meanwhile, net fees and service income slightly declined from transaction service and mutual fund service. The Bank has continuously improved its operational efficiency, while placing emphasis on appropriate cost management. As a result, the cost-to-income ratio declined to 44.7 percent. Moreover, with its continued prudent approach, the Bank set aside expected credit losses for the third quarter of 2025 at a lower level than the previous quarter, leading to expected credit losses for the nine months of 2025 amounting to Baht 29,549 million.

Bangkok Bank continues to operate under its prudent management approach and retains financial, liquidity and capital positions at healthy and appropriate levels to deliver strong and sustainable growth

At the end of September 2025, the Bank’s loans amounted to Baht 2,606,661 million, a decrease of 3.2 percent from the end of last year. Meanwhile loans to large corporate customers continued to grow. The non-performing loan to total loans ratio was at a manageable level of 3.3 percent. Under the Bank’s continuous prudent management approach, the ratio of the allowance for expected credit losses to non-performing loan remained strong at 294.2 percent.

As of September 30, 2025, the Bank’s deposits amounted to Baht 3,174,287 million, a similar level to the end of last year, with the loan to deposit ratio of 82.1 percent. The total capital adequacy ratio, Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio, and Common Equity Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio of the Bank and its subsidiaries stood at 22.6 percent, 18.0 percent and 18.0 percent, respectively, comfortably above the Bank of Thailand’s minimum capital requirements.

Bangkok Bank presents the Royal Kathin 2025 to Wat Samran Niwet Royal Monastery, Amnat Charoen Province, supporting Buddhism for 59 consecutive years

October 20, 2025

Bangkok Bank presented the Royal Kathin 2025 to Wat Samran Niwet Royal Monastery, Amnat Charoen Province, supporting Buddhism for 59 consecutive years. On this occasion, customers, employees, and the general public joined a grand procession that was organized to reflect the unique identity of the Isan region through traditional woven crafts and local products. This year, the Bank preserved Buddhist culture with a donation of 14,453,092.94 baht.

Bangkok Bank led by Bangkok Bank Vice Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors Mr. Singh Tangtatswas, who acted as the Lay Chairman, Directors Mr. Amorn Chandara-Somboon, Mr. Chokechai Niljianskul, Mr. Pichet Durongkaveroj, Mr. Predee Daochai, Senior Executive Vice President Mr. Kukkong Ruckphaopunt, Executive Vice Presidents Songkram Sakulphramana, Pochanee Kongkalai, together with the Bank’s executives and staff presented the Royal Kathin 2025 for the 59th consecutive year to the monks who have been ordained for the full three months of the Buddhist Lent. The Abbot of Wat Samran Niwet Royal Monastery Phra Wichaimunee (Paitoon Mettajitto) wore the Royal Kathin robe. On this occasion, government agencies led by Governor of Amnat Charoen Province Mr. Anurat Thamprajumjit and local people joined the ceremony which took place at Wat Samran Niwet Royal Monastery. With the power of faith from the Bank’s board of directors, executives, employees, customers, and the general public nationwide, the Bank donated 14,453,092.94 baht

As a “leading regional bank”, Bangkok Bank is the first financial institution to receive royal grace to take the Royal Kathin to royal monasteries rotating across all regions of Thailand and foreign countries. The Bank has done so for 59 consecutive years since 1967, during the reign of King Rama IX, to help maintain the Buddhist religion in Thailand and in hope of lightening the King’s burden and preserving Buddhist traditions and culture to benefit novices and monks who will carry on the faith.

Wat Samran Niwet is a third-class royal temple affiliated with the Dhammayuttika Nikaya monastic order. It was established in 1941 on land donated by devout local villagers. Located in Bung Subdistrict, Mueang Amnat Charoen District, Amnat Charoen Province, the temple is surrounded by forested areas with abundant trees, making it an ideal place for meditation practice. In 1942, the temple was officially named “Wat Samran Niwet” by Somdej Phra Maha Viravong (Oun Tisso), to serve as a counterpart to Wat Phrom Wihan in Loeng Nok Tha District, Ubon Ratchathani Province (now part of Yasothon Province). That same year, the temple began offering Buddhist doctrinal education at the elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels. In 1944, Wat Samran Niwet was granted the Wisungkhamsima, a royal boundary for ordination, signifying its status as a fully established temple. It was later recognized as an exemplary development temple by the Department of Religious Affairs in both 1978 and 1997. On March 22, 2000, in honor of the auspicious occasion of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s 6th cycle birthday celebration, the temple was elevated to the status of a third-class royal temple (ordinary type) by royal decree.

Bangkok Bank announces success of “Green Transition Academy – Class 1” cultivating green Business leaders with concrete organizational transition plans

October 15, 2025

Bangkok Bank has equipped 47emerging leaders with the skills to drive their organizations towards greener business through the “Green Transition Academy – Class 1” program. The program equips participants with the knowledge and tools they need to transform business strategies in line with ESG trends and the growth of the global carbon credit market across the entire supply chain. Participants are prepared to apply these insights to revise business plans, reduce costs, and become more environmentally friendly while staying competitive in a sustainable manner.

Bangkok Bank President Mr. Chartsiri Sophonpanich said at the closing ceremony of the “Green Transition Academy – Class 1” that the program has produced 47 change leaders for green business. Over the nine-week course, participants explored tools, concepts, and strategies that can be practically applied to their organizations, including legal frameworks, clean energy technologies, carbon credits, and green supply chains. Utilizing carbon credits presents a new opportunity for Thai businesses, as the global voluntary carbon credit market is expected to exceed 25 billion US dollars by 2030. Institutional investors worldwide are increasingly prioritizing sustainable business practices aligned with ESG principles. Companies with strong environmental management will earn greater trust, enjoy better access to funding, and gain a competitive edge.

“We believe that transition is not a cost but a long-term investment that strengthens organizations and enhances global competitiveness. As your ‘trusted partner and reliable close friend,’ Bangkok Bank stands ready to support your journey toward sustainability with appropriate financial services and credit solutions, such as the Bualuang Green Loan and other offerings, enabling businesses to confidently invest in sustainable projects,” said Mr. Chartsiri.

Hoover Industries (Thailand) Business Development Director Ms. Tipnapa Damrongvatanapokin, one of the program participants and winner of the “Green Transition Strategy Awards” for her greenhouse gas reduction plan, shared that Hoover Industries is one of Thailand’s leading full-service cosmetic packaging manufacturers. The company has proactively adapted by using recyclable materials, developing eco-friendly products, and minimizing production waste. Transitioning to green business is not merely regulatory compliance, it’s a vital business strategy for sustainable global competitiveness. Customers, especially major brands, are tightening sustainability policies each year. Manufacturers unable to meet these standards risk exclusion from the global supply chain. On the other hand, transitioning to green industry opens doors to exciting new opportunities.

“This course helped us understand the systemic picture of greenhouse gas emissions and how we can manage or improve those processes—such as investing in clean energy and production technology, enhancing machinery efficiency, and researching alternative materials. We focus on 100% recyclable or bio-based materials to reduce reliance on fossil resources. Packaging is now a key factor in sustainability decisions for consumers and brand owners worldwide. We can build on our carbon accounting knowledge by creating Carbon Footprint Labels for our products, which increases transparency and credibility in the eyes of customers and adds value in competitive markets,” said Ms. Thipnapa.

Additionally, the program featured an awards ceremony for the winners of the “Green Transition Strategy Awards” under the theme “Race to Net Zero: Executive Strategy Challenge.” This activity allowed participants to draft greenhouse gas reduction strategies tailored to their organizational context, with guidance from sustainability experts at ERM-Siam Co., Ltd. Participants can further develop these strategies into actionable plans. The winning team was Hoover Industries (Thailand), while the joint first runner-up awards went to PAC Corporation (Thailand) and Agriac Global.

Bangkok Bank launches The Big Blue Ocean Season 4, an exclusive knowledge course guiding businesses to overcome challenges and seize opportunities with digital-AI

October 10, 2025

Bangkok Bank led by President Mr.Chartsiri Sophonpanich along with Directors Siri Jirapongphan, Charamporn Jotikasthira, Director and Senior Executive Vice President and Corporate Secretary Kobsak Pootrakool joined Mr. Thossaporn Petporee, Board Member of Axons Technology (a subsidiary of CPF) to open The Big Blue Ocean Season 4. Held under the theme "Winning with Digital", the course invited leading national executives and digital gurus to share their insights and practical experiences, highlighting new opportunities for entrepreneurs to overcome challenges through innovation and AI technology in a sustainable and efficient way.

Mr. Chartsiri Sophonpanich President, Bangkok Bank Public Company Limited said Bangkok Bank has organized The Big Blue Ocean Season 4 under the concept of "Winning with Digital" to support entrepreneurs in effectively adapting to the digital era. The course provided updates on digital tools designed to enhance business operations, with executives and experts from various fields sharing their first-hand experiences. In addition, the Bank intended the course to serve as a platform for exchanging ideas and practical experiences among participants, fostering a network of cooperation and mutual support so they can confidently step into the world of digital transformation. The heart of organizational change is not only about having a strong strategic plan or investing in cutting-edge technology. It is also about the ability to continuously adapt, learning from both successes and mistakes, and applying those lessons within the organization's unique context. Change is not a one-time event, but a process that requires commitment, learning and regular adaptation.

"It is gratifying that this course brings together business leaders, young business heirs and senior executives from various industries, who are driving organizations into the digital era, to join and learn together. I believe this is a great opportunity to build a valuable network, exchange ideas among leading entrepreneurs and learn how to enhance potential from experts. The Bank is ready to support all businesses in their important transformation journey following its commitment to be a ‘trusted partner and reliable close friend’, fully supporting the growth of the business sector by providing advice, knowledge, and loans to ensure a smooth organizational and digital transformation. This will help all businesses become leaders in the digital market with stability,” said Mr. Chartsiri.

Mr. Thossaporn Petporee Board Member of Axon Technology (a subsidiary of CPF), delivered an inspiring keynote on “Thriving in the Age of Intelligence Transformation” at the launch of the program. He highlighted four key challenges the business sector is currently facing, particularly SME: 1) Competitive disadvantage against large enterprises with greater capital resources 2) Limited access to technology and a shortage of in-house tech experts 3) Know-how residing with individuals and lacking systematic documentation and 4) Insufficient new knowledge essential for business growth. These challenges can be effectively overcome through the adoption of digital technology and AI. Now it is the perfect time for digital transformation as today’s technology and innovations offer more options, greater precision, and user-friendly solutions which significantly reduce both cost and implementation time compared to just 3–4 years ago.

“Business transformation should begin now because any further delay will expose businesses to risks and lost competitive opportunities”. He went on to share the proactive journey that CPF began post-Covid-19, by integrating AI into farm management operations. AI has been used to collect data, detect anomalies, and enhance data quality while also fostering a learning community by encouraging monthly case-sharing sessions. This initiative has expanded AI usage from farm teams to sales and accounting departments. “This is a clear signal that AI can become a core driver of business success,” said Mr. Thossaporn

The Big Blue Ocean Season 4 offers a robust curriculum focused on Digital Transformation, featuring more than 20 exclusive speakers who share their insights and experiences through engaging topics over 11 weeks, including: Ms. Duangdao Mahanavanont, CEO of Sabina PCL, on Leadership in the Digital Era, Mr. Ekaraj Panjavinin, Chief Digital Officer and (Acting) Chief Business Officer at True Corporation, on Reimagine Digital Transformation: Building an AI-First Organization, Mr. Axel Winter, CEO of Xponential Co., Ltd., on Agile and Team Capability Development and Mr. Pochara Arayakarnkul, CEO of Bluebik Group PCL, on Change Management and Organization Alignment in the Age of AI. Participants will also engage in hands-on workshops to design AI implementation strategies tailored to their organizations, empowering them to unlock new levels of performance and innovation.

The initiative aims to strengthen financial awareness and cognitive resilience among elderly, so they are more aware of financial threats. Older people are often targeted by scammers due to their trust in others and unfamiliarity with technology. As a result, they are vulnerable to various forms of fraud, including impersonation by someone they know or trust who tricks them into transferring money, individuals posing as officials, fraudulent messages sent via mobile phones, and sophisticated online scams involving artificial intelligence (AI) technology. These scams often result in the tragic loss of lifelong savings. In addition to the awareness session, members of the Elderly Club participated in exercise activities that are designed to prevent falls and dementia, led by a team of physical therapists from the Public Health Service Center 23 Si Phraya. Additional activities included Alzheimer’s-prevention board games conducted by students from Wat Mahapruttaram Girls' School, and a birthday celebration for members born in August. Seventy Elderly Club members took part in the activities held at the Bang Rak Metropolitan Police Station.

As a "trusted partner and reliable close friend", Bangkok Bank is committed to promoting financial knowledge and discipline for customers and the public of all ages and genders, including vulnerable groups such as the visually impaired, the elderly, and low-income earners, who are at risk of over-indebtedness. This initiative is part of the "Fin Lit for the Blind" project, the "Unlock Debt, Retire Happy" project, and the "Happy Retirement" project. These projects enable target groups to manage their debts, plan their finances, and secure their future. They are also aware of fraudulent tactics, financial threats, and cyber threats, mitigate the risk of fraud, and this will enable them to conduct financial transactions safely.
