Top Ten Fintech Companies in Thailand
With the public acceptance of fintech as a viable way to manage finances, there are many Thai and ASEAN-based companies vying for a share of the Thai market.

Top Ten Fintech Companies in Thailand

Fintech is fast becoming an accepted part of the world’s financial systems. Thai and ASEAN-based startups have been just as quick to launch their own fintech business models of new approaches to lending, advising, transfers, and insurance.

Fintech is already disrupting the traditional roles that banks and financial services companies have played for hundreds of years. These old-school financial companies have been caught short and are currently struggling to launch their own applications and catch up to the market leaders.

How a Computing Concept Made Fintech Viable

The concept of 'sandboxing’ in computing is playing a large part in making all these new applications possible. In order to deal online on a large scale with people's money, your program needs to be isolated from the other programs on your system to provide a level of safety from hacking and theft.

Sandboxing keeps the processes of a computer program separate from other programs within a given computer or computer system, much as a child’s sandbox keeps sand from getting everywhere.

By applying this concept to the world of fintech services, it allows a lot less oversight and worries about the security of these transactions. Consequently, it also requires a lot less regulation by the world’s governments and banking authorities. This has been the key to the explosion of simple, accessible, and low-cost financial services that are threatening to undermine the large banking institutions. 

These services are also helping to lessen the wealth inequalities in Thailand by making investment services available to anyone that has access to the internet. With 49% of the country regularly online, it seems the market for these new types of financial services has nowhere to go but up.
