I read a lot of posts about people looking for to open to a bank account with the DTV visa and here's my experience.
YOU CANNOT OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH THE DTV VISA except for particular cases (you are married to a thai, you have a thai son/daughter, etc). I know it sucks but I've been using for a few months TrueMoney and I can guarantee is a great 2nd choice. I've obtained the full access to the app (it required me to send a picture of my dtv visa + a picture of the entry stamp on my passport) and this is what I can do with the app:
1) I can scan pay EVERYWHERE, including the small auntie at the local market
2) I can link the payment to most of the app (grab,bolt,lazada, shoppee etc)
3) I can create a virtual debit card to buy stuff online
4) I can link that card to google/samsung pay and pay with the NFC.
5) I can top up at the true store up to 50k baht, I believe that out of every tesco lotus there's an automatic machine to do that
6) I can obviously pay at everystore which is true money friendly (7/11)
With that said, having a bank account is great but with true money I can do 99% of the things I would have done with a bank.
PS: I got cash with me so I just exchange the cash at the local superrich and then transfer it on my account. On the app there's the possibility to link it to a credit/debit card, not sure if that works just with local ones or it'll accept a foreign card as well
