Race to register SIM cards before bank suspensions

Quick Summary:

The Digital Economy and Society (DES) Ministry and related state authorities set a deadline for mobile phone SIM card owners that do not have matching names with their mobile banking accounts to update their information and match the pair by April 30, or their mobile banking accounts will be temporarily suspended.

The third group is dubbed P (there is no name or information for the SIM card owner), totalling 13.5 million numbers or 11.3%.

"These 2 million numbers registered from January 2022 could be part of the reason why mule accounts are increasing," said Mr Prasert.
