- Is the service limited to corporate, institutional, private-bank or existing group customers?

Business banking relevance
Relevant to large companies and institutions needing regional treasury, finance, markets or transaction services.
For a Thai company, expect the bank to identify the entity, authorised signatories, directors and beneficial owners and to understand the proposed activity and source of funds.
BOI promotion or foreign shareholding can be relevant evidence, but neither removes ordinary onboarding checks.
Check the live position

Branch functions, opening hours and account rules change. Record when the information was checked and re-confirm it shortly before attending; never use a false address, visa description or employment claim to fit a product rule.
