Monday 25 May 2026 | No. 109 / 2026


The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO), the Bank of Thailand (BOT), and the Anti Cyber Scam Center (ACSC) under the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), have continued to advance integrated cooperation in joint operations by Integrating financial information and suspicious transaction to enhance the monitoring of suspicious financial transactions and to prevent cybercrime. 

Mrs. Pornanong Budsaratragoon, SEC Secretary-General; Mr. Theppasu Bavornchotidara, Secretary-General of the Anti-Money Laundering; Ms. Daranee SaeJu, Assistant Governor, Strategy and Special Projects Group, BOT acting on behalf of Governor of the Bank of Thailand Mr. Vitai Ratanakorn; and Police Colonel Winyu Jamsai, Superintendent of Sub-Division 5, the Anti-Corruption Division (Acting Superintendent of Sub-Division 3, Economic Crime Suppression Division), , as assigned by Police Major General Chanannat Sarntawanpas, Commander of the Technology Crime Suppression Division, CIB held discussions on a joint operation framework. The discussions focused on streamlining and integrating inter-agency workflows to achieve the goal of connecting information on suspicious transaction, which constitutes a key component in preventing and suppressing cybercrimes. The cooperation also aims to increase public confidence in the governance and integration of data to support legal enforcement. The meeting was held at the SEC Building on 25 May 2026.

Mrs. Pornanong Budsaratragoon, SEC Secretary-General, said: “The SEC recognizes the importance of collaboration in connecting financial data and monitoring suspicious financial transactions.                                   We continuously join forces with the BOT, the AMLO, and the CIB to enhance the oversight of digital asset business operators in their role as intermediaries, and to prevent digital assets from being used as a channel for technology-related crimes and money laundering. This forms part of an integrated effort to achieve data connectivity (Connecting the Dots) and law enforcement across all relevant government agencies. The SEC is confident that this coordinated effort among the four agencies will serve as a significant milestone in inter-agency collaboration, as well as advancing and improving the standards for detecting, preventing, and combating economic threats to the country.”

Mr. Theppasu Bavornchotidara, Secretary-General of the Anti-Money Laundering Board, AMLO, said: “The AMLO places great importance on integrating cooperation among relevant agencies to enhance the efficiency of anti-money laundering efforts and the suppression of technology-related crimes — particularly in the linking and analysis of suspicious transaction data, which enables the timely identification of high-risk behaviors and the tracing of financial trails. The Joint Operations carried out by all four agencies on this occasion will serve as a critical mechanism for strengthening the financial intelligence system, and will support more effective law enforcement across multiple fronts — including investigation and inquiry, the seizure and freezing of assets connected to criminal offenses, as well as the concrete disruption and suppression of money laundering networks and technology-related criminal activities."

Ms. Daranee SaeJu, Assistant Governor, Strategy and Special Projects Group, BOT, said: “The BOT places the utmost importance on maintaining the credibility and transparency of Thailand's financial system, ensuring it is not used as a channel or a vehicle for money laundering in any form of financial crime. It aims to raise the operational standards of Thai financial institutions in managing risks from technology-related crimes and money laundering, in line with the increasingly complex risk landscape of today — in order to strengthen the long-term stability, confidence, and credibility of Thailand's financial system, as well as to protect the public from financial threats and online fraud. The coming together of the four agencies on this occasion marks another significant step forward in elevating collaboration through continuous data connectivity and joint operations, with the goal of enhancing the effectiveness of efforts to prevent and suppress technology-related crimes and money laundering, while further reinforcing the credibility and transparency of Thailand's financial system.” 

Pol. Col. Winyu Jamsai, acting Superintendent of Sub-Division 3, Economic Crime Suppression Division, said: “The ACSC places importance on integrated cooperation among relevant agencies in the prevention and suppression of technology-related crimes, particularly through the exchange and linkage of financial transaction data and suspicious behavioral information. Such cooperation will enhance the efficiency of investigations, financial trail tracking, and the expansion of criminal network investigations in a rapid and tangible manner. This initiative is being carried out under the policy direction of Police General Thana Chuwong, Deputy Commissioner of Police and Director of the Police Operations Center and Director of the Anti Cyber Scam Center  (ACSC), and Police Lieutenant General Jiraphop Phuridej, Assistant Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police and Deputy Director of ACSC, both of whom have emphasized the enhancement of measures to prevent and suppress technology-related crimes, including addressing call center scam syndicates and online threats in all aspects. The Cybercrime Suppression Division remains fully committed to supporting and integrating operations with all relevant sectors.

The initiative is also aligned with the operational approach of the ACSC, which aims to strengthen the prevention and suppression of call center scam syndicates, online fraud, and all forms of cybercrime through integrated data sharing, law enforcement, and cooperation among domestic and international agencies, to enhance public safety and confidence.” 

The SEC places importance on addressing illegal activities and money laundering conducted through the financial system and digital assets, as well as on linking financial information involving suspicious financial transactions to prevent technology-related crimes. The SEC stands ready to act in all aspects to strictly enforce the law and integrate its efforts with relevant agencies. This initiative forms part of the SEC’s five measures to combat illicit capital flows, aimed at ensuring the effective disruption and prevention of channels used for illicit financing or financial crimes, while strengthening long-term confidence in the Thai capital market and protecting the public’s assets from all forms of economic crime.
