Bangkok Bank has prepared 40 billion baht cash at 8,000 branches and ATMS nationwide for withdrawals during Chinese New Year and will increase the frequency of cash top ups at its ATMs in response to rising demand for cash as people make purchases of Chinese New Year offerings, give red envelopes of money as gifts, travel to get blessings and buy things under the Easy e-Receipt scheme to stimulate the Thai economy during the new year.
A news report from Bangkok Bank revealed that the Bank had arranged 40 billion baht cash for withdrawals at more than 8,000 branches and ATMs across the country to cope with the rising demand for cash during Chinese New Year as people make purchases of Chinese New Year offerings and gifts and give red ‘ang pao’ envelopes with cash inside following the Chinese New Year tradition.
