Important Information
- Depositors holding a Foreign Currency Deposit (FCD) account with a passbook or an e-FCD Special account linked to the Gold Wallet on the Paotang application will receive a different interest rate if the account has not been upgraded to a Global Savings account. The interest rate is determined by the Bank's announcements.
- When upgrading your existing FCD account to a Global Savings account, if you have linked services such as FCD Fixed accounts, foreign currency Structured Notes, KTAM mutual funds in foreign currencies, or other external products, you must create a separate Global Savings account for each currency. This ensures that the linked services remain active and are not impacted by the upgrade.
- Exchange rates may change at any time. Please verify the latest rates on the Krungthai NEXT application before completing any transactions. Terms and conditions are as specified by the Bank.
- The Bank reserves the right to notify, suspend, or terminate deposit and withdrawal services, or close deposit accounts at any time if, at its sole discretion, it determines that: (a) The account or related financial transactions are suspected of involvement in fraudulent or illegal activities, or are being used for unlawful purposes. This includes, but is not limited to, activities such as money laundering or financing terrorism. (b) The account is being used for speculative purposes involving the Thai Baht or exchange rates, in violation of the bank's policies and conditions. In either case (a) or (b), the account holder agrees to waive any claims for damages against the Bank resulting from these actions.
