What's up with BBL now?

I have been out of Thailand for over a year now but I have maintained my BBL account with a balance of

<฿100. I have not been able to use my Mobile banking account app for at least 15 months. There was an update to the app and whenever I attempted to use the app I was forced to install the update before using it. I was required to visit my Bangkok Bank to accomplish that. I was not willing to do so for my small balance.

Today, there was a new Play Store update of the app. AND LO AND BEHOLD I AM NOW ABLE TO FULLY USE THE APP AGAIN.

Bangkok Bank has actually made something easier!

Has anyone had issues transferring Thai Banking apps to a new phone. 3 days in 2 banks Bangkok and Krungsri one sorted Bangkok albeit for some reason i can’t log into my account. It’s saying wrong user name and password. Krungsri no luck, face recognition wouldn’t work, manager said head office will call me in 3 days, still waiting for the call.

My U.K. bank app sorted in minutes with online security checks being carried out up and running now.
