KBank Denies Authenticity of Viral Transfer Slip Involving PM Anutin
Kasikornbank has refuted claims of a 7 million baht transfer to Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, citing system limitations and non-existent account details.
Kasikornbank (KBank) has officially addressed viral social media allegations claiming that a 7 million baht payment was transferred to an account belonging to Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul in 2023.
In a statement released on October 26, 2026, the bank clarified two key points regarding the digital transfer slip circulating online. First, KBank confirmed that the account number displayed on the alleged slip does not exist within their banking system. Second, the bank noted that its K PLUS mobile application has a maximum transfer limit of 2 million baht per transaction, making a single 7 million baht transfer via this channel impossible.
For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this incident highlights the importance of verifying information circulating on social media, particularly regarding high-profile political figures. While the bank has debunked the specific technical details of the alleged transaction, the broader context of the claims—which suggested illicit payments—remains a subject of public discourse. As of now, no further official investigations into the origin of the fabricated slip have been announced. Residents are advised to rely on official statements from financial institutions and verified news outlets when evaluating the authenticity of digital financial documents.
