ORIGINAL POSTER
This post is about "everything else". Been using the yellow bank for a couple of decades, atm, online website, foreign transfers, etc. Some days ago got a notice they were dropping the online website and to use the phone app instead. This happened a year or so ago with the purple bank, and everthing went smoothly. Yesterday I went to the original yellow bank branch and they required SIM card mobile data turned on in the registerd phone number as well as a letter from the phone co saying it was my number. I complied and today I returned. After all the photocopying and signing, they told me I was no longer elegible to sign up for the phone banking app because I was already 70. Went to a second branch where they confirmed the same. Passbook and atm are still useable. If I had the phone banking before 70, I could still keep using it. First time am denied a public service because of age. Moral: get your phone banking app while you are still young... ๐Ÿ˜€

They recount having to navigate new requirements for using online banking and reflect on the implications of age on service eligibility.

Unfortunately not in thailand they do discriminate with age for many jobs so they wont be too concerned about the older generation ( especially foreigners) using apps

What happens now that you are 70. That's like age discrimination
