The GSB has shut down many of its ATM machines after 12 million Thai baht (about 306,000 euro or 347,000 US dollar) cash went reportedly missing as the ATMs were infected with a malware, the GSB president said on 23 August.

BANGKOK: Visually impaired people in Thailand will be able to take advantage of a new mobile app, developed by Kasikornbank (KBank), that will help them conduct financial transactions on their smartphones. 

The country's fourth-largest lender by assets plans to roll out the app by March next year after it recently generated praise for its mobile banking app, which has been designed specifically for visually-impaired people.
