Oct. 4--Local banks have been gradually increasing penalty fees for credit-card customers who fail to make payments, following recent deregulation by the Bank of Thailand.

Thai Farmers Bank recently doubled its monthly fee for missed payments to 200 baht from 100 baht.

Bangkok Bank, one of the largest issuers in the country, changed its fee structure from a flat 100-baht charge for missed payments to 100 baht for every 1,000 baht in outstanding balance due. Other banks, including Krung Thai Bank, are also considering revising their fee structures and interest rates charged to credit-card customers to better reflect credit risks.
