The SEC has collaborated with the DGA to integrate the SEC Check First, a mobile application for searching service providers in the capital market under the SEC’s supervision, including products (both securities and digital assets) approved by the SEC into the DGA’s Citizen Portal to support investment decision-making. This government’s super app consolidates various government services into one platform for easy, convenient, and secure access to information. Currently, there are over 140 government services available, providing the public with convenient, fast, and secure information access. The SEC Check First is now available on the Citizen Portal under the New Service Icon, allowing users to check and search for approved products and individuals and licensees.  

SEC Secretary-General Pornanong Budsaratragoon said: “Accessing the SEC Check First app through the Citizen Portal further facilitates and provides an additional channel for investors and the public to verify individuals, products, and intermediaries in the capital market. This makes information search easier and more diverse, aligning with the objectives outlined in the Strategic Plan 2024 – 2026, which aims to promote the use of digital technology to create benefits, mitigate disparity in information access, prevent investment scams and protect individuals from fraudulent investment solicitation.”  

Mrs. Airada Luangvilai, DGA Senior Executive Vice President and Acting President & CEO, said: “The DGA would like to thank the SEC for bringing the SEC Check First application to the Citizen Portal in line with the government's policy to facilitate the public’s more convenient and efficient use of digital services provided by the government sector. Currently, this Citizen Portal offers more than 149 government services, with a cumulative download total exceeding 959,702 and usage totaling over 13,736,823 times (as of 31 March 2024). Popular services in the past month include checking vehicle registrations and driver's licenses, summarized credit bureau checks, traffic fine payments, childcare subsidy checks, and citizen registration information. The Government Applications Portal is downloadable to mobile devices.”

The SEC Check First application (https://market.sec.or.th/LicenseCheck/Search) serves as an investment support tool in the capital market, providing easy and convenient access to information that helps to verify individuals, juristic entities or products whether they are approved or licensed by the SEC to prevent the public from falling victim to various investment scams. The SEC Check First has received the 2022 Public Sector Excellence Awards in the Service Innovation Category.
