    Banks, govt agencies trial Digital ID authentication

    BANGKOK(NNT) - To improve convenience and security of online transactions, the Digital Government Development Agency has joined hands with nine government agencies, banks, and a private firm to implement the Digital ID platform, serving as the government’s centralized platform for user authentication.


    The Digital ID system will allow users of online services to authenticate themselves electronically, on a platform which connects several services across multiple agencies that require authentication.


    Today, an agreement has been signed between the Office of the Public Sector Development Commission, the Thai Bankers’ Association, the Government Financial Institutions Association, the Revenue Department, the Department of Business Development, the Department of Lands, the National Health Security Office, the Student Loan Fund, and National Digital ID Company Limited, to start implementing the Digital ID authentication method on their platforms.


    An example of Digital ID implementation is a service from the Revenue Department for online tax filing, which will use the Digital ID authentication process for the electronic corporate registration process.


    Digital ID authentication will allow the department to accept the application electronically without requiring the applicant to be present at the office, thus allowing all document submissions and money transaction to be completely digital.

    Very wise. Krung Thai Bank just 'upgraded' their app. It didn't work. I tried repeatedly. Then I went to the bank, there was a lady outside dealing with people who had the same problem. I waited, when my turn came she discovered that she didn't know how to do it for farangs. The bank was heaving, so I went away and returned yesterday. Waited an hour, then the lady at the counter tried her best but failed. I waited again and finally another counter staff worked through the maze. Yes! It now works. That's another couple of hours of my life passed by.

    On a related theme, I did my 90-days report online recently. For the second consecutive time it stuck at 'Pending' so yet again I visited the good people at Immigration and they gave me the same story as last time: There is a problem with the server for all of Immigration. At least he did the report for me in maybe half a minute. The key takeaway though was that neither the website reporting nor the Immigration App is working as it should - according to the officer.

    I wouldn't voluntarily be an early adopter of online technology here.
