    Internet banking in Thailand

    By dillpickles98, Created on: 08/08/2009, Last updated on: 06/01/2014

    » Internet Banking in Thailand For the last 6 months i have tried to set up ACH banking from the U.S. to Thailand. The problem was when the trail deposits were posted from my U.S. Bank to BKK Bank of course they were only in Thai Baht. To complete verification one must enter the exact amount of the...

    • paddy commented : [quote="Silaworld":3k5cw021]I have a Euro-account and 3 ThaiBaht-accounts (in different provinces) since about 5 years without problems with Bangkok Bank. Recently I opened Bualuang Ibanking and this works entirely to my satisfaction. Transferring money from Euro to Baht or inverse is a piece of cake. Transfers happen online and you know your rate. Transfer limit is 500.000 Baht/dayly. At the beginning when I opened something new, Bankstaff always asked for workpermit... but when I told them No Workpermit, everything still Ok. Actually, many westerner banks might take some lessons from major Thai banks.[/quote:3k5cw021] 500,000 baht daily limit on transfers out of Thailand ? How does that work? I tried to transfer 200 euros from my SCB bank to my Euro bank. SCB confirmed that i could not do it at their branch (it was not authorized), but that I could do this online, to save on fees. When I tried to make the online transfer, SBC's Easynet screen requested me to prepare and submit a request form to BOT, explaining what the purpose was for the use of the funds. Yes, that was for 200 euros! I gave up, afer my bank branch said they had no reply from the BOT. In the coming months of the new year, I will have a significant amount of cash which I want to transfer to a long-standing bank account in another country.

    Thai banks not accepting American citizen’s money!

    By len, Created on: 07/10/2013, Last updated on: 21/01/2014

    » Heard that Thai banks won’t accept American citizens opening bank accounts in Thailand due to strict demands the American tax folks are now taking on tracking overseas money. Can someone tell me if this is already in effect? What about existing accounts? Do they have to close?? Have any of...

    • Steveco commented : Married to a Thai lady, one child, proper visa for 9 years. No problem opening an account at one bank some years back. For convenience I decided it would be convenient to open another savings acoount at a bank with closer 24 hour deposit machines. Live just outside of Korat proper very near to a new Lotus. SCB was my target. "Do I have a work permit? No, I am retired." Sorry, cannot. Went next door to TMB. First question was "have I lived in Thailand for six months?" Yes, and she started entering information from my passport and house papers. She seemed to hit a snag when submitting and called somone who I assume was a manager(wouldn't answer when I asked) and was told I could not open> Asked why, "bank policy" she said. "Where does it say that an American cannot open an account(have other nationality acquaintances who have opened ok)." Firm on the bank policy so I left it at that knowing full well that confrontation is not always good and many times there is simply no thinking. That is my 2 cents worth on the topic.

    Can anyone recommend a good Thai bank?

    By thompson, Created on: 30/06/2014, Last updated on: 26/07/2014

    » Hopefully some of you have been around the scene and can give me the names of some Thai banks that are farang friendly? Cheerz!

    • LungBean commented : Just use internet banking, or simple ATM transfers to any Thai bank account, with any major Thai bank, what's the problem? I find SCB internet banking to be very good but I am sure Kasikorn, Bangkok Bank, Khrung Thai etc all do the job There is no need to use foreign banks.
