Thailand's mobile giant Advanced Info Service (AIS) has introduced the country's first identity verification system.
The newly launched service allows customers to confirm their identity through its retail channels AIS Shop, AIS Buddy, Telewiz, and AIS partner stores, covering 16,277 locations nationwide.
In the near future, the myAIS app will also be able to offer such a verification service and act as public identity provider. This means customers will soon be able to perform transactions, including opening online bank accounts and mutual funds or purchasing various kinds of insurance.
