In making its award, based on performance over the past year, The Banker described Bangkok Bank as Thailand's leading financial services provider. Its major strengths include a strong brand and well-developed relationships with most of the country's largest corporates, as well as an extensive international branch network. Bangkok Bank's strengths in business lending, international banking and retail and investment banking allow each of these areas to support one another, helping customers to raise funds and build their businesses.
