Thailändska myndigheter ska nu kontrollera att 700.000 utlänningars registrerade namn på sitt thailändska bankkonto är samma som på det registrerade mobiltelefonnumret.
Detta för att minska risken för bedrägerier och kriminalitet
De som berörs får meddelande från sin bank om detta (har du samma namn redan får du inghet meddelande)
Brace yourselves, foreign mobile users in Thailand! A sweeping verification is in motion, targeting 700,000 mobile numbers registered since January 1, 2022.
The checks, ordered by Thailand’s minister of digital economy and society, Prasert Jantararuangtong, could lead to the termination of mobile banking services unless certain criteria are met.
The Thai government plans to scrutinise names linked to these mobile numbers and their mobile banking accounts. The aim is to clamp down on technology-related crimes by ensuring that the names on mobile banking services align perfectly with those on corresponding phone registrations.
A striking 1.8 million numbers currently lack registration, adding to the urgency of these checks.
Introduced on February 1, this regulation requires mobile banking service users to have their information sorted by April 30—this very Wednesday.
Failure to comply could see their mobile banking services suspended come June. Banks have been instructed to communicate directly with customers whose numbers don’t match up, urging them to update their registration information promptly.
Those who don't receive such outreach can continue with their banking activities without worry.
This initiative throws a spotlight on Thailand's stringent efforts to stamp out technology crimes, tightening the noose around inconsistent mobile-registration pairs. As the deadline looms, affected users should act fast to avoid disruptions in their digital banking life.
