A Bangkok Bank spokesperson said that during the upcoming Chinese New Year festival, the bank will be reserving additional cash of Baht 35 billion at its 1,200-plus branches, including micro branches, and its nationwide network of 10,000 ATMs in order to meet the higher demand during the Chinese New Year festival. It has also prepared new banknotes for customers to use as cash gifts, as it is a Chinese custom to give money to young family members on the occasion of the New Year.
Bangkok Bank will also top up cash in ATMs more frequently during the festival so its customers can be confident they can conveniently withdraw cash from ATMs whenever they need it.
