Mr. Thanit Sirichote, Senior Vice President and Manager of Global Payment Services Department said, “With the new ‘Bualuang iBanking,’ our FCD customers can now make transactions online, check their account balances, view their transaction histories for the last two months, and transfer money from their FCD accounts to their baht deposit accounts.”

“All of this can be done 24 hours a day, seven days a week from anywhere in the world,” added Mr. Sirichote.

The new FCD account service is suitable for people who have foreign currencies or receive money from overseas.
