Summary · why it matters

BKI Holdings, or BKIH, has won the Best Company of the Year 2026 award in the insurance and life insurance category at the Money & Banking Awards 2026. Its subsidiary, Bangkok Insurance, was a key driver of this achievement. Dr. Apisit Anantanatarat, director and chairman of the executive board, revealed that the company continues to employ a cautious underwriting strategy for electric vehicles, as the loss ratio for EVs is high to very high due to standard service center costs and high battery values. Additionally, the company has a policy of excluding coverage in waters highly vulnerable to war risks, such as the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Strait of Hormuz, to cope with geopolitical tensions. If operators wish to purchase additional coverage, premium rates will be adjusted upward according to the actual risk level. Winning the award for the third consecutive year reflects management in line with ESG principles and the creation of sustainable growth.
