Originally opened up a Kbank account in 2013 while on an ED visa. Also opened up a Krungsri account in 2018 while on a METV. Now I'm on a DTV, but the banks don't know I'm on a DTV.
Has anyone had their Kbank or Krungsri accounts closed by the banks like the Bangkok Bank fiasco?
I have a new phone and want to install the Kbank & Krungsri banking apps, but this requires going into the banks to get them to do it. Kbank requires facial recognition to be done at the branch.
I'm a bit hesitant, in case they ask me to update my visa status and if I tell them I'm on a DTV, then they might close down my accounts. Is it risky to try and get them to install the Kbank and Krungsri app on my new phone?
Of passing interest perhaps. The Thai widow of an old mate has been recieving a widows pension for some years. No problems. First of this month, it fails to appear. Long story short, seems a new Thai law kicked in on Aug 1 requiring that money being transferred into Thailand identifies the sender. She now has to say, who is sending the money. Would have been easier if the Thai authorities had let anyone know.
