All the problems with banks and phones. Is this only to do with on-line banking and apps (which l don't have)? Anyone had any problems with an atm card?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses current problems with banking in Thailand, particularly related to mobile banking apps. Users report that many are experiencing issues with app access, while ATM card withdrawals remain unaffected. Some mention the need for verification of phone numbers linked to bank accounts, and others highlight difficulties in opening bank accounts due to visa qualification. Overall, the focus is on the varying experiences of consumers managing their banking needs inside Thailand.
But the only issues is not locked apps. Thousands are unable to open bank accounts with qualified visas

James Green where do you get that number from?

James Green no such thing as a qualified visa. It’s the bank decision

James Green a visit to their local branch rather than Facebook might be a better option they will probably provide better advice - just a hunch 🤔

The banks are asking for your cell provider to confirm your phone is linked to a passport and address which in turn matches your bank account, Go to your cell phone provider and they will give you a printed slip with your details which you then take to your bank and they will unblock your online banking overnight….pain in the butt, as banks are busy with lots of other accounts holders doing the same thing but its for our own protection I guess.
I don't believe but he already said he use his wife number. What part of the law you don't understand. Scroll down. I made copy for now believers and the moderater that says it's now a law should know better. But once again I screen shot the law.

Son, you are confused. If it comes to a choice between you and
I'm going with Garrett. I don't have a mobile banking app and therefore I don't need to have a phone number linked to my account. Good day.

Bangkok Bank locked my app but I was able to enter the bank and withdraw all of my cash, so the account itself was not locked. I think same for everyone, only the app is locked.
it'd their way to get you to come in and show receipt who your number is registered to. I had to do because they locked my app. Wen in and did the facial recognition
Garrett Greenwald That's not correct. It affects your bank account. If your phone number isn't registered in your name, your bank can actually close the account. That's the worst case scenario.
They don't close it - they just freeze it until you go into your branch and give them the details they want. They're trying to clean the dodgy accounts - it's not exactly a war against farangs
No,it's not wrong.Maybe you don't read info from your bank/s. One reason for closing an account is "fraudulent or illegal activities". Thats what actually started the suspension mess at Bangkok Bank.There were loads of pre-registered sim-cards which is not alliwed.Then there's mismatched names,and not updated passport numbers when renewing passports. KBank about a month ago warned account holders that if they didn't update their personal info before a certain date,their accounts would be suspended and in the worst case closed. This morning I received an email from Bangkok Bank with a pdf-file showing the latest T&C's,which included official terms regarding phone-numbers.They are updating T&C like 2-3 times a year. Boring as hell to read. I just scroll down to the most important parts,then I delete the email.
it's true. Beginning of the year most banks sent letter out that banks where ordered by the government to verify phone numbers to accts. And they can close o freeze acct. I had to go in regisistwe my new phone number for switching carriers. Its the law. Try reading bangkok post. It clearly told the situation
right above it states its law and it also states your acct can be suspended if not match. What part do you not understand idiot. I provided the facts. Put the beer down and leave the ladyboy alone and tey to keep up. They can lock you out of and suspend you account. You asked and provided the law
omg, in your own post you asked if it was for only mobile app. I answered the queation. If your not registered they can suspend your acct and that would affect your atm. Read what you posted and clearly gave you screen shot of the law and it states not complying your account can be suspended. Done trying to explain. You have the facts in clear black in white. I can't help you can't process the nformation
your idiot old man. You have have to have a register phone number to have any bank account. You got to be the stupidest person on her and you obviously can't read updates posted from banks and bangkok post. Got and screw your ladyboy you old fuck
