Mr. Pipit Aneaknithi, President of KASIKORNBANK (KBank), said, “Money20/20, a premier global fintech event, is being held in Bangkok for the second time, reaffirming the city’s status as a world-renowned hub for fintech growth in Asia. KBank is taking part in a panel discussion titled ‘Legacy Banks in the New Economy: Innovation, Agility, and Customer-Centric Transformation’. The session will explore how traditional banks are being transformed in today’s new economy through innovation, adaptability, and a customer-first mindset.” During the panel, Mr. Pipit will share KBank’s vision of shaping the future of finance through innovation and a mission rooted in sustainability.

He will emphasize the Bank’s ability to evolve and thrive through crises, becoming a true early adopter. A key example of this success is K PLUS, the Bank’s mobile banking app, which has become Thailand’s most-used digital banking platform. KBank continues to embrace emerging technologies, foster partnerships, and develop platforms tailored to evolving needs, all with the goal of enhancing the customer experience across every dimension. This approach aligns with the direction of the new economy, driving financial innovation in the blockchain space while connecting its strategies in digital assets and ESG to advance sustainable development for the country.

Mr. Vasin Vanichvoranun, KBank’s Executive Vice President, will participate in the panel discussion titled, “Digital Banks vs. Legacy Banks: Will 2025 Be the Tipping Point?” — a dialogue exploring the competition between digital and traditional banks from the perspectives of global financial leaders. He will share key insights, emphasizing that traditional banks can maintain their relevance and effectively compete with digital banks by transforming into hybrid banks. This approach combines their inherent strengths — such as trust and long-standing customer relationships — with cutting-edge digital experiences and strategic partnerships to access new markets. Critical strategies for this transformation include investing in innovation, reshaping organizational culture, and leveraging the human touchpoints to instill confidence

in security. These strengths empower customers to live and do business anytime, anywhere, through comprehensive services tailored to evolving consumer behaviors in the digital era.
