Thailand has strong regulatory frameworks and collaboration among banks. This aligns with successful models in Australia, Europe and Hong Kong in combating financial crime, stated Ian Holmes, SAS director and global lead for enterprise fraud solutions.

Holmes added that Thailand is embracing technology to combat financial crime, including real-time payment protection to safeguard against fraud in digital transactions.

He said that the wider adoption of AI is transforming the fraud detection and anti-money laundering processes. The use of Thailand's digital ID will also speed up identity verification, requiring AI to ensure secure and fast processing./.
