Woratep Yunyongkul, Country Manager, Thailand, Mambu: “It’s an exciting time to be involved in the banking and finance industry in Thailand, with Bank of Thailand’s new virtual bank licensing framework set to encourage a great deal of innovation and transformation in the industry. Thailand’s banking and financial services industry is the backbone of the Thai economy and will be instrumental in transitioning the country towards a fully digital economy. At Mambu Thailand, we are ready to draw on the experience gained working in other countries that have introduced digital bank licences, including Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines, to assist Thai banks and FSIs to truly capitalise on the opportunities that are on the horizon.”

Mambu, a cloud-native SaaS banking and lending platform, was launched in Europe in 2011 and has grown exponentially to now power 280 customers across 65 countries, with 110 million end users. Mambu’s extensive experience helping banks and FSIs transform digitally will be invaluable in Thailand, where the use of public cloud for banking and financial services is still nascent.

Mambu Thailand is primed and ready to work with BoT and key players in the Thai banking and financial services industry, to enable them to truly understand the benefits of cloud banking and help them to embrace the power of next-gen technology.

Wiwat Masuchun, Regional Partner Manager, Thailand, Mambu: “While BoT is becoming more open to the use of public cloud for financial services it is an emerging area in the country, and banks and FSIs still need to seek approval from BoT to launch any financial products or services on public cloud services. Currently, while core lending products are hosted on public cloud routinely, this is not yet the case for core deposit products. Mambu Thailand is primed and ready to work with BoT and key players in the Thai banking and financial services industry, to enable them to truly understand the benefits of cloud banking and help them to embrace the power of next-gen technology.”

Mambu has partnerships with three of the leading global public cloud providers, namely Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure, ensuring choice and flexibility for banks and FSIs depending on their requirements. Alongside this flexibility, Mambu’s composable platform provides components that can be selected and assembled in various combinations to satisfy specific user requirements, empowering banks to modernise their infrastructure, meet rapidly changing customer behaviours and expectations, and drive business growth.
