MTC Named Best Micro Finance Company Thailand 2025

Muangthai Capital Public Company Limited (MTC) received the ‘Best Micro Finance Company Thailand 2025’ award at the Global Banking & Finance Awards, reflecting international recognition of the company's role in supporting stable and sustainable growth in Thailand's grassroots economy.

Parithad Petampai, Deputy Managing Director of MTC, said the company seeks to provide inclusive and equitable access to quality finance, support stable growth for local businesses and help build a foundation for sustainable economic growth. The award, presented by the UK financial publication Global Banking & Finance Review, recognises MTC's accessible, transparent and sustainable financial services, particularly its work to expand economic opportunities for low-income communities and small entrepreneurs nationwide. This aligns with the company's vision of a society in which everyone has fair access to financial opportunities.

“We do more than provide loans—we are helping build a stronger grassroots economy for Thailand. This award is meaningful encouragement for me and every MTC employee who has worked to expand access to credit for people in Thailand. Many people still lack opportunities, and we will continue providing financial services to international standards for sustainable growth alongside Thai society.”

The Global Banking & Finance Awards are presented internationally and consider criteria including growth, sustainability, innovation, community contribution and meaningful improvements in customers' quality of life.

MTC has a branch network reaching communities throughout Thailand and offers financial products for different customer groups, including vehicle-title loans, retail loans and services for local entrepreneurs. The company also continues to expand fully digital customer-service technology. The award reflects both organisational performance and the ability of socially oriented business to advance alongside sustainable economic growth.

MTC continues to expand equitable financial opportunities in cooperation with domestic and international financial institutions, including the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Germany's DEG and the International Finance Corporation (IFC). The company cited its ‘Excellent’ five-star corporate-governance rating, AAA SET ESG Rating and AA MSCI ESG rating as evidence of its commitment to good governance, sustainable development and global microfinance leadership.
