Bangkok Bank has prepared red "Ang Pao" envelopes decorated with images of auspicious magpies printed with a special technique called Gold Hot Stamping as gifts to customers during Chinese New Year 2022. The auspicious magpies signify good fortune. In traditional Chinese belief, hearing a magpie singing meant that good luck was on the way. The envelopes also carry four Chinese words, "Gong he xin xi," meaning "Best Wishes for New Year," which Chinese people believe will bring good fortune and an auspicious year.
Each year Bangkok Bank gives the red envelopes to its customers for them to use when giving blessings to their families and other people during Chinese New Year. This shows the bank's commitment to being a 'trusted partner' who supports customers throughout the year and during major festivals. To prevent the spread of Covid-19 and reduce risks from using cash, customers can also give Ang Pao gifts online via Bangkok Bank Mobile Banking. The e-Slip was designed under the theme of Chinese New Year celebration and allows senders to include and e-Card with New Year blessings. This online alternative allows customers to send happiness and good fortune to each other safely without worrying about Covid-19.
