Customers can transfer money through designated code to any of the receiver's bank account unlimited amount of money. The Bank will issue withholding Tax Certificate as an evidence of payment.

This service also responds well to E-customers' need. It helps reduce risk from not getting goods purchased while money is already transferred or not being paid while goods have been delivered. In making payment by KTB E-Cheque service, customers must have sufficient money in the account to be debited, and if it is not the case when the due date is drawing near, alert system will warn them to deposit money through e-mail or SMS. If customers want to cancel or postpone such transfer the transferred money will be promptly credited to transferor's account.
