NBTC, BOT to discuss mobile payments

The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission will on Monday discuss with Veerathai Santiprabhob, governor of the Bank of Thailand, ways to regulate mobile payment services and to protect consumers.

Korkij Danchaivichit, deputy secretary-general of the NBTC, said Thursday that mobile payment services were gaining popularity. However, the NBTC’s regulatory powers cover only telecom-bill payment via e-wallets, not other bills.
