A digital non-credit data centre could be launched in Thailand next year, says National Credit Bureau (NCB) chief executive Surapol Opasatien.
This open data source would contain non-credit information such as consumers' utility bills, which would help banks looking for alternative data to determine loan approvals for underbanked borrowers.
Mr Surapol said the related regulators of private companies feel encouraged about a new entity, either a digital data centre or a digital data platform, depending on the volume of data expected to be uploaded to it.
