The 'Website of the Year-Thailand' award reflected the Bank's development of www.bangkokbank.com into a contemporarily designed, simple to use website under the concept of 'Speed, Simplicity and Personalization' with the aim of providing customers with greater convenience and enhanced user experience. The Bank won 'Trade Finance Bank of the Year' award for the fifth consecutive year, reflecting its ability to respond to the needs of entrepreneurs in the digital age. In addition, the Bank piloted a Letter of Credit (L/C) transaction between Thailand and Indonesia on R3's CORDA Platform using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), or Enterprise Blockchain. This new digital L/C service helps save time and reduces paperwork by more than half.
