They finally formally founded the Thai Bankers' Association in September 1958. There were 15 founding members , representing all the commercial banks incorporated in Thailand at that time. Its management rests with an elected Board of Directors, which consists of a Chairman, a Vice Chairman, and three other Directors

Since its establishment, TBA has played an active role in representing the banking community in discussions with the Bank of Thailand, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Commerce, and other government agencies in formulating and implementing key economic and financial policies.

TBA collaborated with the Board of trade of Thailand and the Federation of Thai Industries in establishing the Joint Public - Private Consultative Committee , a prominent forum to discuss on-going national issues with the government, which often results in very fruitful adjustment of government policies or amendment of laws and regulations that are conducive to efficient practices in trade and investment.

TBA also promotes member banks to exchange information and experiences in their conduct of business with a view to enhancing their productivity and efficiency. Such a cooperation is carried out by the various clubs, e.g., the International banking Club, the Thai Forex Club, the Banking Accountants Club, etc.

TBA is also a founding member of the ASEAN Bankers Association, which meets annually to foster cooperation among bankers in the ASEAN countries. Their recent cooperation includes the Y2K solution, corporate debt restructuring workshops, and strategy to meet intensifying competition in the coming years.

TBA works closely with the Foreign Banks Association in various banking issues, including improving the payment system, formulating guidelines for orderly workouts, and organizing joint charity activities.
