Thailand’s KASIKORNBANK and Lu International Develop Online Wealth Management Platform

KASIKORNBANK and Lu International (Singapore), a subsidiary of China’s retail fintech enterprise Lufax Holding, have recently announced a partnership to establish an online wealth management platform for retail investors in Thailand.

The platform named LU Global said it offers customers with round-the-clock access to a wide range of high-quality investments. The platform has instated a risk management system that adopts Know Your Product (KYP) and Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance procedures, alongside an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and anti-fraud system.

Lufax Holding will utilise its cloud-exporting model for the platform which will be jointly operated and managed by both parties.
