Clear the app cache and try again.
I have this issue at least once a month with Bangkok Bank. It's a trash app.

thanks mate I’ll give it a go but I called up before this post was approved and my accounts been frozen. The annoying thing is you can’t just go down and withdraw your money and close the account.Andrew *******
Anonymous participant you can absolutely withdraw or transfer $ at a bank machine when it’s locked. Mine was locked and I did both.

Anonymous participant mine was frozen yes as I said.
