Thailand ranks eighth out of 10 countries in the Digital Trust Index in Asia-Pacific, according to the Fraud Management Insights 2017 study. The study conducted surveys in New Zealand, Japan, Australia, India, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. "The rapid increase of digital technology adoption makes trust one of the most important aspects for business organisations," said Nick Wilde, head of fraud and identity at Experian Asia-Pacific. In the latest Digital Trust Index, consumers in Thailand gave service providers a score that was good for eight place after New Zealand, Japan, Australia, India, China, Vietnam and Hong Kong, topping only Singapore and Indonesia. Thailand has made strides to tackle fraud: biometric SIM card verification in telecom, national digital identification and electronic verification of customers, among other measures.
