What is JDB Bank?
JDB Bank, or Joint Development Bank, is the oldest and one of the largest private banks in Laos. Established in early October 1989 as a joint venture between Thai royal family enterprises and Laotian banks, it was later sold to Thai shareholders. Since the latter half of 2012, it has been owned by a Laotian conglomerate and has experienced rapid growth. Currently, JDB Bank operates approximately 48 branches across Laos and has hundreds of ATMs, making it one of the largest banks in the country. The bank regularly updates its financial status on its official website, with its holdings in legal currency recently exceeding 400 billion yen. As the country of Laos develops, the bank’s profits continue to rise significantly.
