Hello, Sorry for my question about Banking. I know this is for DTV Visa Group.

Today I got the app notification from SCB to come and update Face Scan. I did my update in June when they locked the accounts which don't have the same ID number with Phone Number.

Yes, I do need SCB Bank for the daily use, because

Wise - most of the street vendors and shops can't accept

True Money - Only 20 times per month for Prompt Pay and if more than 20, We need to pay 25 THB per transaction

I am planning to go to SCB Bank Siam Paragon to make Face Scan. Is it ok for now? After in next 6 month, I will go and get A new bank account in Cambodia which is like more convenient for DTV Visa Holders. 

Thanks in Advance

No problem. Don't listen to all the clowns saying all accounts will be closed. They're just bitter that their BB account did.

pardon me but it's happening with other banks. Be prepared AND have a plan B.

I think you are misunderstanding the message you received. They sent out a message saying that face scans are now available for foreigners. It's optional and only needed if you need to transfer over 50k in one transaction or 200k in one day. I don't think you did this in June because face scans were not available for foreigners in June.

Yes, it is in-app notification and I think, it is up to us. Thank you so much James for your kind comment.

You don't need to use facial scan except for 50K and above transfers and a few other types of transactions.

Just to correct that true offers 30 and not 20 payscan to privates account but unlimited and free to every business account. I have only true money and I can do pretty much everything except paying the auntie at the market with qr codes (well, I can still do that once a day for free and when it gets to the end of the month I've NEVER run out of free scan pay)

it’s also a New Zealand thing, particularly in the Polynesian community. Even our two former female PMs got called Auntie by younger people while they were in office.
