Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited (Thai: ธนาคารกรุงศรีอยุธยา จำกัด (มหาชน)), commonly—and confusingly—referred to as Krungsri (กรุงศรี), is a commercial bank based in Thailand. The bank ranks as the fifth largest bank in Thailand in terms of assets, loans, and deposits.[1] Krungsri provides banking, consumer finance, investment, asset management, and other financial products and services to individual customers, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and large corporations through its branches and service outlets nationwide and abroad.
History
The bank was established on 27 January 1945 in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, the old capital of Thailand. The Bank of Ayudhya opened its doors on 1 April 1945 with registered capital of one million baht.
In 1970, the bank's head office was relocated to Ploenchit Road, coinciding with the bank's celebration of the royal appointment (garuda) emblem, granted by the king to the bank on 15 May 1970. The bank was listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand on 26 September 1977.[1]
On 3 January 2007, Krungsri and GE Capital became strategic partners. GE Capital and Ratanarak Group were major shareholders with a 33 percent and a 25 percent stake in BAY, respectively.
In September 2012, GE announced the sale of 7.6 percent of its stake in Krungsri via a number of block trades, reducing their ownership to 25.33 percent[3]
On 18 December 2013, The Bank of Tokyo - Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (BTMU), the wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), Japan's largest banking group and one of the world's largest and most diversified financial groups, replaced GE Capital as the major shareholder of Krungsri.
