Thailand is the first country in Southeast Asia To get local pre-payment options for Google AdWords
Bangkok Bank PLC is using its expertise in network and service channels to support financial pre-payment options for several thousands of Google AdWords customers across Thailand. Services are being offered through four channels: branches, ATM, Bualuang Phone and Internet Banking. Google AdWords is a highly-targeted search marketing platform that helps companies of all sizes to find new customers in Thailand and around the world. In particular, SMEs can use AdWords to cost-effectively grow their business during these tough economic times. The new pre-payment options offer AdWords customers more flexibility, speed and convenience, while making it much easier to set up and manage search engine marketing campaigns in Thailand.
Bangkok Bank Senior Vice President, Suwanna Usanachitt said “Bangkok Bank is very pleased to support Google in the development of four new forms of pre-payment options for Google AdWords customers. The four nationwide services comprise customer service representatives in over 1,000 branches, over 6,000 ATM machines, the bank’s call center or Bualuang Phone 1333, and Bualuang iBanking and Bualuang iBanking on mobile for individual customers or BIZ iBanking for corporate customers.”
“The cooperation between Bangkok Bank Plc and Google Southeast Asia, a leading Internet company in the region, coincides with BBL’s policy to support SMEs business and provide industry-leading financial services to the growing and important Internet economy”, said Suwanna.
Pornthip Kongchun, Thailand Marketing Manager, Google Southeast Asia, said: “Google is committed to improving the experience for its AdWords customers in Thailand, a very strategic market for us in Southeast Asia. We have responded to feedback from our Thai AdWords customers requesting for more easy and convenient ways to pay for their search engine marketing campaigns. We are happy to cooperate with Bangkok Bank, the largest commercial bank in Thailand, to provide four new payment options that our AdWords customers can use in their daily lives and can access anywhere, anytime across the nation.”
Interested businesses can sign into their Google AdWords account at adwords.google.co.th, choose “Prepay via Bangkok Bank” and then choose “Pay with any 4 Bangkok Bank Pre-Payment Options”. The Bangkok Bank branch option is available to all AdWords customers while the other three options are available especially to AdWords customers with BBL account.

Piarin Kunaderekwong, Marketing representative for the Very Good Uniform, added: “The new pre-payment options from Bangkok Bank and Google make my life much easier. It is very convenient and very easy since the bank has so many branches and one is very close to my home. It does not require a lot paper work or documents, just print the payment slip and pay to any teller personnel at the bank.”
Very Good Uniform Co., Ltd., a leading uniform producer for over 40 years, has used Google AdWords for the past 4 months to grow its business with a minimal budget. For every 100 baht the company spends on Google AdWords it gets back 2,300 baht in sales which is excellent ROI (Return On Investment). AdWords is a very cost effective way for Thai businesses to find new customers and get strong business results.
