Npd1000.com is the online service portal for the Nong Phai Daeng Village Fund and Community Financial Institution, a local financial entity in Thailand.

The platform is part of the broader Thai Village and Urban Community Fund initiative, a significant government policy launched in 2001. This program was established to distribute working capital, initially one million baht (approx. $22,500), to every village and urban community, creating locally-run rotating credit associations. The core objective was to establish an accessible financial source for people in rural areas, providing an alternative for those who might have difficulty meeting the requirements of formal commercial banks. These community financial institutions are designed to be managed by and for the community, with governance often handled by an elected committee of local members.

Through the npd1000.com website, members of the Nong Phai Daeng institution can perform several key financial activities. These include checking their account balances, reviewing share value information, accessing loan and deposit statements, and viewing dividend details. The business model is that of a microfinance cooperative, where capital is used for lending within the community. The success of these funds often relies on the active participation and cooperation of its members and the efficiency and honesty of its managing committee. The broader aim is for these funds to become sustainable financial institutions that can support the local economy and improve the quality of life for residents.
