Looking at the email you posted, it appears to have come from the E visa team in Bangkok.

guess what? We are talking about internal transfers.

Foreigners have no need to register using a K-Bank account but your Thai old woman does need to register, no matter what you think.

yes. It's much like the bank employee that scammed from people's accounts during COVID. Many foreigners lost millions of baht. The employee left the country and as far as I know, those people still haven't got their money back.

Although bank scams are quite rare here, there isn't much in place to get your money back.

Most scams are done via a text. You open the text and it places a key stroke logging software on your phone which enables them to read everything you type.

Just don't open any texts or Facebook messages from someone you have no idea of.

yes. The bank guarantee is now one million baht should the bank fold BUT if you're scammed, it's basically buyer beware, the same for everyone

I believe none of this was actually for foreigners holding Thai bank accounts.

You can put your picture in the app if you want to. You simply use the edit function but it doesn't mean anything

in the App, no. I've already been in a number of banks before I get blanked transferring in the app but the banks have no idea.

Hence I contacted the head office but foreigners don't need to and cannot register.

Here's a screen shot from the app hence why I contacted them
