Why are Bangkok Bank and AIS apps locking foreigners out of their accounts?

Colin **********

indeed, I think they use a variety of inputs to ensure your verfied in thier eyes. The other big one being which visa you hold. They appear to be much more joined up, closing an AIS and bank account at the same time, amazing 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
