TITLE: Thailand's Central Bank Issues Cash Transaction Risk Management Guidelines for Financial Institutions BODY: On the date of this announcement, the Bank of Thailand issued guidelines for managing risks associated with cash transactions for all financial institutions operating under Thai financial business law. The guidelines establish requirements for financial institutions to implement appropriate risk management procedures and customer care protocols for cash-related transactions. The Bank of Thailand issued the guidelines under Sections 39, 41, and 71 of the Financial Institution Business Act, B.E. 2551 (2008), as amended. The guidelines define cash-related transactions as cash withdrawals or cheque transactions that result in cash disbursements, including requests for cashier's cheques and cheque deposits. Key requirements include senior management oversight of risk management processes for cash transactions; customer identification procedures for all cash transactions, including occasional ones; and enhanced due diligence for transactions exceeding 5 million baht within one day. Financial institutions must request transaction purpose information and supporting documentation proportionate to transaction and customer risk levels. The guidelines require financial institutions to monitor customer behaviour for unusual patterns inconsistent with normal activity, maintain secure records of customer identification and transaction details, and regularly review and update risk management procedures to address evolving customer behaviour. Financial institutions must balance risk management with customer service, ensuring procedures do not impose undue burdens on customers and establishing appropriate mechanisms for supporting affected customers. The guidelines apply to all financial institutions under Thai financial business law and require implementation of the specified risk management standards alongside existing Bank of Thailand guidance on financial service risk management.
