BANGKOK -- Thai banks have strengthened their push for the use of online banking services over physical branches with a suite of revamped mobile banking applications.

State-owned Krung Thai Bank, one of the latecomers to the online banking market, has announced a new version of their app. The Krungthai NEXT app comes after the bank introduced the older version, Krungthai netbank, eight years ago.
