Bangkok--6 Mar--KBank
KASIKORNBANK is introducing “K-Expert MyPort”, an innovative online asset manager which assists in pooling information of customers’ assets portfolio with all financial institutions on a single platform, the first of its kind in Thailand. The service provides convenience in financial targeting and savings planning with a monitoring system that enables speedier goal achievement. The Bank aims to see at least 100,000 users under this service by this yearend.
Mr. Thawee Teerasoontornwong, First Senior Vice President of KASIKORNBANK, said the Bank has conducted a survey of 120,000 customers using the K-Expert advisory service over the year and found that most customers possess a variety of assets and utilize financial services at several financial institutions. Consequently, customers usually find it difficult to retrieve information about all their assets collectively and this makes them unable to fully appreciate a full picture of their overall assets. Many thereby fail to undertake long-term financial planning.
Therefore, KBank has developed a financial product, K-Expert MyPort, to reinforce its leadership in the digital banking industry. The new service is an online asset manager that can pool customers’ complete asset portfolio information from the Bank’s K-Cyber Service, and other financial institutions into a single on-screen display. These details include deposits, mutual funds, stocks, gold and land holdings; the value of mutual funds and stocks can be valued at current market rates, automatically. With this service, customers will be able to monitor all their combined assets, in terms of value and types, at one convenient asset management location, making asset comprehension an easier task. Adding into this new product is a savings targeting and monitoring tool; while customers can inquire about all financial matters by e-mail from the K-Expert team, made available for customers’ financial achievement. KBank aims to see at least 100,000 users of K-Expert MyPort this year.
This financial innovation is Thailand’s state-of-the-art personal financial manager. Interested persons can apply for this service free of charge, although they will need to make an application for K-Cyber Banking first. The service is one of the functions served by the Bank’s K-Cyber Service. Applications can be made through K-ATMs, KBank branches, or www.kasikornbank.com. Customers applying before April 30 will be offered two extra privileges: A 100-Baht gift voucher from Central Department Store for the first 1,000 customers per month; and a free coupon for a special nine-month deposit rate of Flexible Fixed Deposit plus Family Protection with added 0.3 percent per annum. Also, they will be eligible for a monthly draw with a 13,400-Baht iPad Mini Retina Wifi 16 GB prize.
