Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited (Thai: ธนาคารกรุงศรีอยุธยา จำกัด (มหาชน)), commonly referred to as Krungsri (กรุงศรี), is a commercial bank based in Thailand. The bank has been operating as a commercial bank for more than 60 years. The head office is on Bangkok's Rama III Road and officially opened on 30 May 1997. The bank ranks as the fifth largest bank in Thailand in terms of assets, loans, and deposits.[3] Krungsri provides banking, consumer finance, investment, asset management, and other financial products and services to individual customers, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and large corporations through its branches and service outlets nationwide.

History

The bank was established on 27 January 1945 in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, the old capital of Thailand. The Bank of Ayudhya opened its doors on 1 April 1945 with registered capital of one million baht. During the same year, the bank's head office was established on Rajawongse Road in Bangkok.

The bank's head office was relocated to the corner of Anuwongse Road in 1948 and to Lampoonchai Road in 1950. The inauguration ceremony was conducted in 1951 to mark the growth of the bank and to accommodate an increased number of customers. In 1970, the bank's head office was relocated to Ploenchit Road, coinciding with the bank's celebration of the royal appointment (garuda) emblem, granted by the king to the bank on 15 May 1970. The bank was listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand on 28 September 1977. (SET: BAY)
