Kasikorn Bank Thailand Banking Foreign Account Holder Limits Visa and Residency Issues Expat Financial Concerns

ORIGINAL POSTER

My friend has a Retirement visa. Got her certificate of residency at Udon Thani immigration. Her primary account is BBL in BKK. So she opened a second bank account in Kasikorn bank in UTH as she's staying in UTH long term.

Surprised that Kbank said as a foreigner, her daily withdrawal limit for apps transfer, ATM withdrawal, cardless withdrawal is THB 50,000. QR code payment limit is THB 5,000. They only told her this limit after they set up her account. 

Bank said this is the latest rule for Foreigner.

I find this extremely difficult to operate. For any payments  that's larger amount than THB 50,000, she needs to go to the bank, stand in line to do a transfer to third party payee.

Kasikorn bank used to have a transaction limit of 5 million per day for K+ app.

I understand that they are cracking down on scammers etc, but a limit of THB 50,000 is ridiculous!

Told my friend to continue to use her BBL instead to make payments to suppliers. (she's building a house).

I hope Kbank's new rule for foreigner doesn't affect older customers prior to the change. 🙏🙏🙏

If you want to change it, then just go to your bank and get the face scan done, it takes a few minutes, I just did it yesterday and then no more limitation on your app.

KBank sent this new message to all their customers by mail too. And it appears in the K+ App as well.

This may be true, for my own convenience and peace of mind I will continue to have a Wise account as a backup

I’m still able to get 1 million limit a day with Krungsri bank. I’ve had the account for six years.

When building our house I paid for everything with a credit card and transferred from Wise to my wife’s account for the labor costs. She paid them cash as we went.

i am able to change the amount in my Bangkok Bank app. Hoping it stays that way. Luckily my landlord has (transfer)wise account, so I am able to pay him via that from my (transfer)wise account with funds from my USA bank or my singapore bank account. If your large payment is for rent, maybe this method will help you.

it is totally normal, even in my home country the daily withdrawal limit of many banks is similar!
