OREANDA-NEWS. The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (BTMU) is pleased to announce that it will launch the "Krungsri Thai Benefit Package" with Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited (Krungsri) on July 15, 2014. Krungsri became a consolidated subsidiary of BTMU in December 2013.

A large number of Japanese companies have penetrated the Thai market, and it is likely that more Japanese companies will expand their business there. With more and more Japanese taking up residence in Thailand, we have received many requests from customers hoping to open savings accounts, necessary in daily life in Thailand, before leaving Japan. "Krungsri Thai Benefit Package" is a service designed to meet the growing needs of customers by allowing them to apply for financial services necessary for daily life in Thailand, including Krungsri deposit accounts, before relocating.

Krungsri is working to enhance Japanese language support for other services in Thailand by adding Japanese language options on its approximately 2,200 ATMs, primarily in Japanese residential areas in the capital Bangkok, and by setting up the Japanese Service Desk with Japanese-speaking staff at the Siam Paragon Branch.

BTMU is committed to meeting a broad range of customer needs by providing high quality products and services.
