Krung Thai Bank Public Company Limited is the state-owned bank under the license issued by the Ministry of Finance. == History == The bank was incorporated on March 14, 1966 through the merger of Agriculture Bank Limited and Mondhon Bank Limited, of which the Thai government was their major shareholder.〔 The merged banks were then named ‘Krungthai Bank Limited’, bearing its logo as an image of the Vayupaksa Bird, which is also used by the Ministry of Finance. KTC's head office was originally located on Yawaraj Road. Krungthai Bank thus became a large bank after the merger and conducted banking business with good performance and sound financial standing as well as a wider range of services over time. As a result, the existing head office was not spacious enough for the expanding operation and in 1982, the Bank relocated its head office to No.35 Sukhumvit Road, Watthana District, Bangkok where it remains to date. The bank has succeeded well in business operation and enjoyed stable and rapid growth while making improvements and broadening its organization to better respond to customer needs. In 1988, Krungthai bank was the only commercial bank having a network of branches and ATMs in all provinces nationwide. Krungthai Bank was the first state enterprise that listed its shares on the Stock Exchange of Thailand on August 2, 1989. Its major shareholder is currently the Ministry of Finance through a shareholding of 6,184 billion shares by the Financial Institutions Development Fund (FIDF) accounting for 55.31% of the total shares. Apart from conducting commercial banking business like other commercial banks, in general Krungthai Bank has served as the government’s channel to render financial services in response to the government policies through lending to businesses of certain types, such as, One-Tambon-One-Product (OTOP) loan, ICT Computer loan, Education loan. Moreover, the Bank is a leading choice for most government agencies, for example, the Revenue Department, refunding tax by Krungthai Cheque and disbursement of government budgets including payment of pensions to pensioners. During Thailands economic crisis, the Bank supported the government policy of stimulating the national economy by providing the “Thai Khem Kheng Stimulus Package 2012” to boost Thailands entrepreneurs’ liquidity. The bank's office hours are different from other commercial banks which are adjusted to suit the economic environment and commercial operations. However, Krungthai bank's office hours are more in line with working hours of state enterprises and government agencies. Currently, the bank is open until 4.30 pm (16:30) while other banks close before that time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Krung Thai Bank」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
