On 28th, Nov 2025, MBA students from the International College of Panyapiwat Institute of Management (IC-PIM) visited the head office of Kasikorn Bank (K-Bank) in Bangkok as part of the International Business Finance course. The visit was led and coordinated by Dr. Fei Lu, Director of International Cooperation and MBA Advisor of IC-PIM, and provided students with valuable exposure to one of Thailand’s leading commercial banks and a major player in regional and global financial markets.
Kasikorn Bank is widely recognized for its leadership in international banking, digital finance, and financial innovation, playing a pivotal role in supporting Thailand’s economic development and cross-border business activities. During the visit, students gained firsthand insights into how a large commercial bank manages international financial operations, trade finance, risk management, and corporate banking services in an increasingly complex global financial environment.
Through presentations and interactive discussions with senior banking professionals, students deepened their understanding of international financial systems, foreign exchange mechanisms, cross-border payment solutions, and financial risk mitigation strategies. The professionals shared practical experiences on how global economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations, and regulatory frameworks influence international banking decisions.
A key highlight of the visit was the opportunity for students to engage directly with K-Bank executives, exchanging perspectives on real-world challenges such as digital transformation, sustainable finance, and ASEAN market expansion. These interactions enabled students to effectively connect classroom theory with real-world financial practices.
The visit also emphasized the growing importance of financial innovation and digital banking in enhancing efficiency and competitiveness. Students observed how Kasikorn Bank leverages technology and data analytics to support international business finance operations.
This company visit represented a meaningful experiential learning opportunity that strengthened students’ global financial awareness and professional competence. It also reflected IC-PIM’s strong commitment to industry-engaged education, made possible through the academic coordination of Dr. Fei Lu & IC team, preparing MBA students for leadership roles in international finance.
