With the challenges at B of B I decided to open a new account elsewhere. As much as I support battling fraud I don’t believe the bank’s approach is of sound mind or ….. I walked into Krungthai with my lease, passport and tm. 30 minutes later I have a new bank card and an account. What was even nicer was when I transferred funds from wise they arrived in 10 seconds. The other bank was anywhere from a day to days. Nothing is perfect in life and I have to deal with the 50k per day maximum tranfer until this updates. The bank was at a loss for why B of B is operating this way. My account is still locked and once I get to the bank in a few weeks I will happily close this and never use them again.

A little off topic, I have a DTV and opened a bank account with Bangkok Bank back in September of 2024.

Like a lot of people yesterday my account was frozen/suspended.

Has anyone successfully unfrozen their account whilst on a DTV and if so what documents did you have to show.

Thank you in advance for your replies.

Hey everyone! Has anyone had their Bangkok Bank account frozen because of a long-term DTV visa? Are there any alternatives?

Kinda feels like discrimination!)

Just updated my Bangkok bank app and logged in and my account number is missing. It shows that I’ve got no accounts. No other notifications.

Have you seen anything similar?

Updating your passport info at your bank or the money will be confiscated rumors. Is ABSOLUTELY FALSE. It’s true that all foreigners with Thai bank accounts need to update their passport information or they will not be able to use the bank phone apps. I bank with Bangkok bank hope this helps and people don’t panic.
