What should expats know about updating their banking apps in Thailand, particularly with Kasikorn and Bangkok Bank?

Heads up on Kasikorn app

Arrived in Thailand boxing day my app needed updating .

Update the app went through the process name dob etc.

Then after all personal details it said i needed to go to bank

For photo recognition.

Off i went got my ticket for the teller to be fair waiting was 20 mins.

The photo recognition was not straight forward pic.

Facial, side face left & right, face upwards, downwards,

Eye blink.

Anyway got it sorted.

Talking to folk Bangkok bank are also updating their app doing facial recognition.

Finally if you got a new sim like I did then both banks need to be aware.

Keep tabs of your old number because the bank will ask you.

Don't forget your passport as well

Happy new year.
