Appendix IV. FinTech
1. There is an active FinTech ecosystem in Thailand, bringing opportunities for providers
and consumers and related challenges in regulation and supervision. The authorities are making
good strides towards an enabling environment for the digital economy, with the results seen most
prominently in a proliferation of new payments companies and instruments. All three regulators
have created regulatory sandboxes to encourage innovation. Most of the technologies tested in the
sandboxes have been incumbents adopting new technology, sometimes in partnership with new
entrants. Competitive impact on market structure and a broader impact on
inclusion have yet to
emerge. The approach of Thailand's main financial regulators towards FinTech lines up well with the
elements of the Bali FinTech Agenda. Laws and regulations have been introduced to enable new
activities, and regulators are committed to continue strengthening their oversight capacity.
