The Oldest Bank in Thailand Adds 24/7 Stablecoin Remittance Services

The oldest bank in Thailand, Siam Commercial Bank (SCB), has started stablecoin remittance services providing quick, cheap foreign transfers. By enabling cross-border payments more easily and effectively for people as well as companies, this action improves financial inclusion.

Founded in 1907, Thailand’s founding bank, Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) is significantly upgrading cross-border payments. SCB has unveiled stablecoin remittance services in collaboration with fintech business Lightnet, therefore allowing 24/7 cross-border remittances for its clients. and speedier transfers and greatly lowered rates, this breakthrough is poised to change international payments.

Stablecoins let SCB let customers make and receive payments worldwide around-the-clock, therefore enhancing their service offers. For those receiving remittances from countries with stronger currencies, these services particularly help as their reduced transaction costs guarantee more financial accessibility for everybody.

Lightnet’s CEO, Tridbodi Arunanondchai, stressed the benefits this project will provide for business and personal customers. By lowering the capital requirements for every transaction and providing useful solutions for retail, corporate, and institutional clients both, he said, this system encourages financial inclusion.

Within the Bank of Thailand’s regulatory sandbox—a scheme meant to let banks test digital assets under more flexible rules—the stablecoin services were extensively tested. This testing guarantees that the new services follow legal and economical criteria.

Another factor motivating this endeavor is the emergence of stablecoins in underdeveloped countries. Stablecoins linked to the U.S. dollar are being utilized to protect value and prevent currency devaluation in areas with fluctuating currencies like Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. Over 40% of crypto transactions in Sub-Saharan Africa already include stablecoins, according to reports; in nations like Venezuela, where inflation is prevalent, stablecoins account for a sizable fraction of remittances.

Stablecoins have grown to be somewhat important in the remittance industry for South America. According to a recent analysis, remittance increase in the area is above worldwide average. As the world economy moves increasingly digital, blockchain assets including stablecoins are projected to keep acquiring market share.

Offering solutions that satisfy the demands of its clients and embrace the future of digital banking, SCB is leading financial innovation in Thailand with this new service.
