Bangkok--May 17--KGI
KGI joins with KBANK to allow customers to sign up for Auto-Debit/Credit service via ATMs. Combining technology with a high level of customer service, Auto-Debit/Credit registration will be available at all KBANK ATMs from May 19th.
KGI Securities (Thailand) and Kasikorn Bank today signed an agreement to allow customers to register for auto-debit/credit service at all of the bank’s Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs). KGI’s customers with KBANK ATM cards can now sign up at any of the bank’s ATMs for the service which allows the proceeds of their stock market trades automatically added to or deducted from their accounts. This is first service of its kind and registering is both fast and convenient. The service will be available from May 19th.
Mr. Pin Chen Chief Operating Officer of KGI Securities commented that customers are the number one priority for KGI, and that the company always strives to provide the highest level of service. This time, the company had joined forces with Kasikorn Bank, one of Thailand’s leading banks, to provide auto-debit/credit registration at any ATM. The new arrangement will be both fast and convenient.
“This innovation integrates technology and service delivery. If you are a KGI customer with a KBANK ATM card, you can sign up for the auto-debit/credit service at any of the bank’s ATMs.” said Mr. Pin Chen.
Mr. Pin Chen added that 70% of KGI’s customers have already registered for auto-debit/credit and the company hoped that the new, simple registration process would encourage even more customers to join.
Meanwhile, Mr. Teeranun Srihong, First Senior Vice President said that Kasikorn Bank placed great emphasis on the development of services that respond to clients’ needs. The integration of advanced technology would offer not only speed but also transactional safety for both KGI and investors with Kasikorn accounts. In addition, the new service has the support of the SET, which has been promoting the use of auto-debit/credit in place of checks.
The auto-debit/credit service is one of the projects the bank has developed in a bid to be the leader of the cash management industry in 2005, which marks the bank’s 60th anniversary.
Mr. Teeranun Srihong further added that the bank has recently won the ‘Best Cash Management Bank Thailand’ award from The Asset, a leading financial magazine, which really boosted confidence in the bank.
