CIMB Thai Bank

CIMB Thai Bank Public Company Limited, previously known as BankThai Public Company Limited, was established in 1998 with the Financial Institutions Development Fund (FIDF) as the major shareholder. On 5 November 2008, CIMB Bank Berhad became the largest shareholder in BankThai and on 4 May 2009, the Bank completed the registration of its new name: “ธนาคารซีไอเอ็มบี ไทย จำกัด (มหาชน)” in Thai and “CIMB Thai Bank Public Company Limited” in English. This name change reflects the transition of BankThai from being an independent company to becoming a member of the CIMB Group.
