In February 2009, ATM SIM made its international presence again as it was among five entries shortlisted for the Best Mobile Money Service Award in the GSMA Mobile World Congress that the GSM Association staged in Barcelona. The two achievements happened in the technological sector. The latest achievement is the winning of the Excellence in Mobile Phone Banking Award from the category of Products and Processes Awards in the Asian Banker Excellence in Retail Financial Services Convention 2009 organized in Singapore on March 19, 2009. This is the award from the financial sector.”

It provides KASIKORNBANK customers with conveniences as they can carry out financial transactions via the dtac mobile phone network as if they had ATMs in hand everywhere. Customers can check their bank balances, transfer money, receive notifications, pay the bills of public utilities, credit card spending, products, services, monthly phone fees, and insurance premiums, refill their call credits etc. Since its launch in March 2008, ATM SIM has served over 1 million customers nationwide,” Mr. Pakorn says.
