Siam Commercial Bank (Thai: ธนาคารไทยพาณิชย์; RTGS: Thanakhan Thai Phanit) is a Thai bank that was founded on 30 January 1907.

## History[edit]

SCB was founded as the "Book Club" on 4 October 1904 by Prince Jayanta Mongkol, a brother of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), who was convinced that the time was ripe for Siam to have its own banking system to help foster the country's economic development, rather than rely on foreign banks operating branches in the country. The name "Book Club" was chosen in an effort to keep the project sub rosa as it was something of an experiment. After the success of the "Book Club", King Chulalongkorn granted royal approval for it to officially operate as a commercial bank under the name "The Siam Commercial Bank" on 30 January 1907.

SCB opened its headquarters in Bangkok's Talat Noi District in 1910. In 1911, it was granted approval to display the royal Garuda symbol as a royal warrant by King Vajiravudh (Rama VI).[2]

## Milestones[edit]

* 1983: SCB introduced Thailand's first automated teller machines.[3] and established the Thai Bank Museum
