SAK's revenues from interest, fees and services in the first nine months of 2020 were 1,215 million baht with a net profit of 408 million baht.
The company was able to reduce the non-performing loan (NPL) rate over the same period to 2.6% compared to an average industry rate of 3.8% to reflect the good management, ability to manage costs and expenses.
