In today's fast-moving economy, ever-more dependent on being linked to banks digitally, Thai finance houses are becoming more and more like the old stereotype. They could reimburse crime victims who trusted the banks to keep their money secure. While aggressively pushing mobile phone apps on the country, neither the government nor bankers are being at all forthright about the risks involved.
