It has been listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) since 23 December 1983.[2] Piti Tantakasem was appointed CEO effective January 2018.[3]

TMB was the brainchild of Field Marshall Sarit Thanarat. He endeavoured to establish a commercial banking business to provide financial services exclusively to military personnel under the Commercial Banking Act B.E. 2488 (1945). The bank started in 1957, but only opened its first branch, Ratchaprasong Branch, in Bangkok in 1963. In 1973 it became a full commercial bank with the general public as its customer base. It adopted the slogan, "Thai Military Bank, the Bank for all people". In 2005, TMB adopted the new official name in English, "TMB Bank Public Company Limited", the present-day corporate logo, and a new slogan, "Better Partner, Better Value".[7]
As of 2023, the bank had 560 conventional bank branches. In 2023, the company announced a plan to convert 5-10 branches in Bangkok to paperless and cashless branches.[8]
In 2019, TMB Bank agreed to merge with Thanachart Bank, a retail bank in Thailand, which would make TMBThanachart the sixth largest bank in Thailand.[9] The merger completed in July 2021.[10] Initially, TMBThanachart will have 91 branches, 58 in Bangkok and 33 in the provinces. Praphan Anupongongarch is President of TMBThanachart Bank.[11]
ttb bank has adopted "Make REAL Change" as its corporate philosophy. Doing the same thing and the same way will always yield the same results. As ttb's goal is to improve financial well-being for Thai people, the core foundation of financial freedom, ttb, as a bank, need to change.
ttb set up FAI-FAH as its main corporate social responsibility programme. FAI-FAH is a learning centre where free courses in cooking, painting, singing, dancing and other subjects are offered to low-income teenagers.[12][13] Currently there are two FAI-FAH centres. Many of the children who have been trained by the center have returned to their communities and initiated community development programme aided by ttb staffers who work as volunteers.[14]: 12, 20
