Regarding Bangkok Bank:

Does anyone have updated information on the new app upgrade? Any new problems??

My account has been frozen for months and I am out of the country. I have reviewed all of the advice on opening it again when I return but still doing the 65.000 deposit as I only have a few months to reach 12 for retirement. Worried there might be another crazy problem.

Before app gave me the option of upgrade, now will only work if I do.

I just transferred another deposit with Wise and waiting to see if will still be transfered. Thanks


Summary so far
The user inquired about updates on the Bangkok Bank app and expressed concerns regarding their frozen account while out of the country. They mentioned a deposit requirement for retirement purposes and are worried about potential issues with the app upgrade and ongoing transfers. Comments suggested the app interface hasn't significantly changed recently, with one user noting it was last updated on September 9. There was a query about how the app could still function given the user's account was frozen.
