KBTG wins The Innovators 2025 Awards for the second consecutive year

KBTG has been recognized by Global Finance, a leading international financial magazine, with The Innovators Awards for the second consecutive year. This year, KBTG claimed the honor as the Most Innovative Financial Technology Company in Asia-Pacific 2025. It also marks the first time a Thai organization has received this distinction - a testament to KBTG's success in developing transformative technology solutions that have revolutionized KASIKORNBANK's services and elevated the financial experience for users across Thailand.

Mr. Ruangroj Poonpol, Group Chairman, KASIKORN Business-Technology Group (KBTG), said, "KBTG is committed to enhancing its capabilities in developing technologies that effectively meet the needs of users and the financial industry. Over the past year, the company has achieved two outstanding innovations, including:

• Run the Bank: Focus is to enhance services and the customer experience for more than 24 million KBank's clients through the 'Core Banking Horizontal Scaling' project, which aims to strengthen the Bank's core banking system - the heart of its operations. The project involves adding another core banking system to operate in parallel with the existing one while ensuring that no downtime occurs during the development that could affect transactions or usage. With this new system, the Bank will be able to accommodate 50 percent more financial transactions and up to 60 million accounts by 2031.
• Technological innovation and research: KBTG launched MeowJot, an automated expense-tracking app that reads transaction e-slips from 19 mobile banking applications, including TrueMoney Wallet. With more than 400,000 users today, the app allows them to conveniently and efficiently track their spending habits."

Most recently, KBTG won The Innovators Awards for the second consecutive year and became the first Thai organization in history to be crowned the Most Innovative Financial Technology Company in Asia-Pacific by Global Finance. The magazine honors organizations with outstanding financial innovation, particularly financial institutions and fintech companies that can introduce beneficial new concepts and solutions for the financial industry in the digital age. This achievement reinforces KBTG's sustained leadership in innovation, following its 2024 win in the Compliance/Risk Innovation category for Best eKYC Innovation to Minimize Facial Fraud, with its face liveness detection solution.

Mr. Ruangroj added, "Receiving this award not only highlights KBTG's commitment to driving innovation, but also proves the achievement of its goal set in 2019 to become the best technology organization in Southeast Asia by 2025. Additionally, KBTG is dedicated to continuous research and development of technology to ensure seamless and convenient financial transactions, promote financial discipline, and engage in the education sector. In the fourth quarter of 2025, KBTG plans to launch new works and projects to elevate finance and life to the next level."
