The platform, to be jointly operated by both parties and used for retail investors in Thailand, will help Lufax to expand its footprint in the region, according to company statement sent to Reuters via email on Tuesday.

More than likely all owned and operated by Chinese which gives them a good watchful eye on them and if they can possibly take money from them back to the Mainland China Government . I would not personally trust them and will consider changing from Kasikorn to a new bank but that's just me and my opinion . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadherbert Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I believe that Ping An group was acquired by CP in 2019 - so maybe not such a Chinese tie up as it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
