A widespread Microsoft 365 technical failure has impacted email communications for major Thai banks and insurance providers, prompting calls for customers to use alternative contact methods.
On November 13, 2026, a global technical disruption affecting Microsoft 365 services caused significant email communication issues for several major financial institutions in Thailand. According to reports from Prachachat Business, banks including Krungthai, Bangkok Bank, Siam Commercial Bank, Kasikornbank, and TTB have experienced interruptions in their email systems. Additionally, the insurance company Generali has warned that the processing of claim documents may be delayed due to these technical difficulties.
