Bangkok Bank SWIFT Code: BKKBTHBK

The SWIFT/BIC code for Bangkok Bank is BKKBTHBK. BKKB identifies Bangkok Bank, TH stands for Thailand, and BK is the Bangkok location code. This code handles international wire transfers to Bangkok Bank accounts across Thailand.

Bangkok Bank is Thailand's largest commercial bank by assets, founded in 1944. It operates over 1,000 branches in Thailand and has one of the most extensive international branch networks among Southeast Asian banks, with offices in 14 countries including New York, London, Tokyo, and major Chinese cities.

THB Transfers and Thai Banking Regulations

The Thai baht (THB) is subject to Bank of Thailand regulations on capital flows. Incoming international transfers exceeding THB 50,000 (approximately $1,500) trigger a mandatory report to the central bank. Transfers above $50,000 require supporting documentation such as invoices or contracts.

Bangkok Bank settles incoming THB wires within 1 to 2 business days. The bank's foreign exchange desk handles over 20 currencies. USD and JPY transfers settle fastest due to Bangkok Bank's direct correspondent relationships with US and Japanese banks.

Bangkok Bank's China Trade Corridor

Bangkok Bank has the most extensive China presence of any ASEAN bank, with branches in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Chongqing, and Kunming. This makes it a key bank for THB-CNY trade settlements, particularly for Thai-Chinese supply chain payments in manufacturing and agriculture.

The bank processes a high volume of trade finance-related wires for Thai exporters of rice, rubber, electronics, and automotive parts. Letters of credit and documentary collections often route through BKKBTHBK.
