In addition, Ms. Kittiya Tothanakasem concluded that "In the past, the bank has gone through many crises, but every bank has adapted to overcome every crisis, whether it is the flood crisis, COVID-19, or the transition to the digital age. The bank has adapted by up-skilling and reskilling its personnel, including recruiting new generations to adjust its work to be more in line with the era and consumer behavior, so that the bank has a strong system that is a solid and sustainable foundation for society and the country in the future..."
