Digital Transformation and Innovation

Mr. Fan Yang, Managing Director of K-Tech, stated: "K-Tech's initial mission focused on transforming KBank China from a traditional foreign branch into a leading digital banking entity. This strategic overhaul has led to a remarkable fivefold increase in credit size over six years, with digital services now representing over 40% of KBank China's portfolio and a customer base that has grown to 2 million.

K-Tech's innovation strategy extends into the web3 domain, where it supports core platform development for Quarix, Coral, DA Custodian, and DA eKYC. In collaboration with KBTG, K-Tech has developed a suite of products and solutions that leverage blockchain technology, enhancing mobile banking, credit risk management, retail lending, and supply chain financing."

As K-Tech looks to the future, AI-driven digitalization stands as a critical focus area. With data, customers, and channels primed to unlock AI's potential, K-Tech, as the R&D hub of KASIKORNBANK in China, is poised to forge collaborations with Chinese tech giants. This strategic approach promises to enrich AI modeling and solutions across fundamental and application layers.

Partnerships with industry leaders like Huawei, which offers a comprehensive stack from hardware to platforms and application layers, and Baidu, a frontrunner in large language models and autonomous driving, underscore K-Tech's commitment to innovation. These collaborations aim to explore and implement AI applications that streamline banking operations and enhance customer experiences.
