The Thailand Office of Insurance Commission announced the start of the third Responsible Voices for Finfluencer programme, a joint initiative with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Bank of Thailand to improve how online creators communicate financial, investment and insurance information. From 60 applicants, 28 pages or channels representing 35 individuals were selected for the cohort. The programme is intended to help finfluencers provide accurate and appropriate information, understand the potential effects of online communication, and support higher standards for businesses that use finfluencers. Across the first two cohorts, 74 pages or channels completed the programme and reached more than 28 million follower accounts in total. The Office of Insurance Commission said many participants have since placed greater emphasis on clearly citing information sources and working with businesses licensed by regulators. The third cohort includes training and exchanges with peers, experts and the three regulators at the Securities and Exchange Commission's office. Participants who meet the criteria will receive certificates, have their names published on the Securities and Exchange Commission website, and be invited to networking activities with earlier cohorts.
