@Michael *******

Kasikorn bank (kbank) there banking app is good, i have debit and credit cards. Plenty of branches, email and english helpline, prefered over Bangkok bank.
Steve ********
@Colin *********
any issues getting the debit and credit card with them? Any paperwork needed?

@Steve *******
how could you get two cards, one debit and one credit card separately? I only got a visa debit card where the amount I spend with it immediately deducted it from my account. A credit card is one with which you are borrowing money from the card issuer.Colin **********
@Sue *********
well luck the credit card was with CITI bank, but they passed on the business to Kbank, it is a proper credit card in so much its not prepaid. And the two debit cards are on 2 accounts.Steve ********

is it a pre-paid CC?Jay *******
Kasikorn has been easy do deal with and hasn't had the same issues as Bangkok bank. But you can't predict what will happen in the future. Don't expect the same customer service you get at home. Banks here and customer service don't go together

@Jay ******

@Michael *******
What ever bankI used Kasikorn initially but changed to Bkk Bk as it was easier at the time.
David *******
@Jay ******
Actually the customer service is far better here than Australia ,especically my. Bkk Bk.Jay *******
@David ******
wow, I'm shocked 😆. My experience has been the exact opposite. But once you're set up everything is a breeze as long as your bank doesn't freeze your account.David *******
@Jay ******
I have had that account for about 15 yrs.I like the fact that the staff have always been helpful.
Any questions always answered, but Oz has maybe 2 staff, and difficult.
Just have the right info for them, like proof of address , passport ,book etc.

@Jay ******
Which "back Home" country? 'cause customer service in the U S. sucks big timeJay *******
@Ismael **************
I'm from the US and you will find customer service there 1000x better than here when it comes to banks. Thats the only place I can find that US customer service is better, but its night and day better.
