Money Expo

Home loan products were hotly sought-after at last weekend’s Money Expo 2015, where more than THB90 billion was generated according to organisers.

Speaking after the annual event Santi Viriyarungsarit, Chairman of the organising committee, said the event was a great success. He said more than 100,000 people had registered for financial and investment services from various institutions at the expo, creating cash flow of about THB90 billion.

Home loans attracted the highest number of customers, with the total value amounting to THB65.7 billion. This was followed by SME loans at THB16 billion, while other popular products included high-interest savings accounts, premium savings certificates and insurance.

Also available at the Money Expo this year were the THB500,000 banknotes in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Royal Wedding of their Majesties the King and Queen. Offered in pairs at the price of THB1 million each, the limited edition banknotes generated THB41 million baht in total.
