Commitment
Materiality
The management of digitalization and innovation is a cross-collaboration between the Technology Division, the Shared Operation Division, the Innovation Division, the business units responsible for products and services, and other related units. The Technology Division is responsible for developing and enhancing the digital infrastructure to support operations and the development of products and services. The Shared Operation Division leads the integration of technology to improve the Bank’s operational efficiency. The Innovation Division is tasked with researching, developing, and managing technologies that can be applied to the Bank’s business, as well as seeking business partnerships to enhance the Bank’s competitiveness through collaborative innovation and the creation of a digital ecosystem. Collaboration between these various units serves as a catalyst and driving force for creating a user-centric work culture, focusing on the needs of employees within the organization and customers. In addition, we have established Bualuang Ventures to support funding for high-potential SME and startups in Southeast Asia. Bualuang Ventures invests in a wide range of digital technology businesses, including fintech, e-commerce, healthcare services, and agricultural technology, to strengthen and promote the sustainable growth of these businesses, as well as to explore opportunities to enhance the Bank’s technological capabilities in the future.
Technology Initiatives and the Transformation of Working Practices
Increasing competition in the banking sector in the digital era means traditional styles of working can erode the competitiveness of a business. Therefore, we have transformed our working systems and technology capabilities to enhance efficiency and support the development of new products and services as follows:
Bangkok Bank Mobile Banking
We continually develop and add new features to the Bangkok Bank Mobile Banking platform to suit customers’ lifestyles and enhance the user experience, while strengthening the security of financial transactions. New features of Bangkok Bank Mobile Banking in 2024 included:
Cross-Border QR Payment
We offer payment services for goods and services through QR code scanning at merchants abroad via Bangkok Bank Mobile Banking (Outbound), which is available 24/7. Payments are deducted from the Thai Baht deposit account linked to Bangkok Bank Mobile Banking, using the exchange rate at the time of the transaction. Users receive an e-Slip confirming the transaction immediately upon successful payment. Conversely, merchants in Thailand can receive payments via QR PromptPay from international tourists instantly (Inbound). This service is currently available in Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Laos, Cambodia (Inbound only), and Hong Kong
BeMerchant NextGen
BeMerchant NextGen is an application designed to facilitate payments via QR code, which is suitable for small retailers such as shopfront stores, market vendors, and food cart businesses. This application enables store owners to track payment history and supports QR code payments with no minimum transaction amount. It includes QR PromptPay (with no transaction fees), QR codes linked to credit/debit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, UnionPay, and TPN, as well as QR codes for WeChat Pay and Alipay, to accommodate both Thai and international customers. In 2024, there were over 1.2 million BeMerchant NextGen merchants and more than 107 million transactions completed.
dStatement
We offer digital account statement data transmission (dStatement) via Bangkok Bank Mobile Banking to assist customers who require account transaction information (Bank Statement) as supporting documentation for various purposes, such as loan applications. The Bank can directly transmit this information to another financial institution based on the user’s consent to disclose the data. This service streamlines processes, mitigates the risk of document loss, and reduces associated costs. Additionally, it ensures robust security in compliance with international standards, utilizing digital authentication and identity verification through the National Digital ID (NDID) platform.
e-Bank Confirmation on Blockchain
We provide electronic financial status certificate issuance services and deliver them to auditors via a blockchain platform. This service helps reduce the burden of generating paper-based financial status certificates, alleviates the process of submitting certificates to auditors, and enables auditors to conveniently manage electronic financial status certificates through the platform.
iCash
iCash is our new cash management platform that enables businesses of all sizes, from small enterprises to large corporations, to conduct comprehensive financial transactions online. This includes payment services, liquidity management services, and account services. Users can execute financial transactions and access various reports quickly, with support for both website and mobile application transactions. The system is modern, user-friendly, and equipped with internationally recognized security standards. It supports login and payment approvals through token application and provides notifications of pending approval transactions via SMS, push notifications, and email.
