Recent experimental results provided by the CMS and LHCb, Belle and BaBar collaborations are showing a tension with the SM predictions in RK(*), which might call for an explanation from new physics. In this work, we examine this tension in the type-III two-Higgs doublet models. We focus on the contributions of charged Higgs boson to the observable(s) RK(*) and other rare processes ΔMq (q=s,d), B → Xs γ Bs → μ+ μ- and Bq → Xs μ+ μ-, which are governed by the same effective Hamiltonian. It is found that regions of large tanβ and light charged Higgs mass mH^± can explain the measured value of RK(*) and accommodate other B physics data as well. In contrast, the type-II two-Higgs doublet model can not.
