It's not lazy. They did the unblock the firewall approach. With me being an IT guy from a few years ago I would have done the same. It's easier to manage as this way you can detect a genuine account users. Example, the government did this in the UK with organ donation. YOU have to opt out of the system when you weren't given a choice to join. You would get maybe a few thousand opting out. It's better than asking 68 million people to join. 😆

Remember HSBC fined for money laundering. The reason they shut down your account is so that YOU as a person have got to go to the Bank in person and prove you are a person. Simple!

Been down this road before. The banks and Wise p@ss me off with this crap. Kasikorn do not issue a FET anymore. They will issue a letter stating they are international transfers for 200 Baht to show immigration what they are. The E stands for external not internal. I don't know Wise are doing but they certainly don't follow their name. Swift is a messaging system and a corrupt one at that. No money changes hands by the way. Look it up!

Same here. Tagged as DEP TR F E-CH. Hopefully immigration will understand this as international transfer otherwise it is letter from the bank verifying it is international transfer. It will cost you 200 Baht . (Bank making money again). 😢

Warning to the west about digits ID I think.

@Kent *******

A yellow book proves your registered address for foreigners. Blue book is for the owner of the property. They want to know you are not money laundering.

@Dror ********

my point is it is your money and to transfer your money requires facial recognition scan. Are we so stupid, we cannot put a limit on our account by ourselves. Subtle hey!

Banks want to use facial recognition which a lot of people are not happy about, me included. It's a subtle way of making you comply starting with farang. Get it now! 😁

Girlfriend or girlfiend. It's Russian roulette here in Thailand.

Thank you Tod.
