I am aware of all of that. Ironically, when I first moved to Thailand and wanting to be above board, I used my Thai address, even received a debit card from the bank. But when that card was due for renewal, I received notice that the bank do not send cards to Thailand. I needed the card to set up new payments online. That is when I changed address to a UK address. The card would be sent to that address and then forwarded to me. It was my accountants home address. having a guess, but if the bank knew the address was that of an accountant. Would that make them think twice about closing the account. As it was he who notified me that the bank needed some answers. He also forwarded my reply and proofs to the Bank.

If it was a fake address they would have closed the account. It has nothing to do with reassuring myself. If at some stage the bank changes policy, then I will deal with it at that time. I've lived here in Thailand for 15 years. The bank have had plenty of time to discover I live in Thailand. They finally decided to ask me questions a couple years ago. I answered their questions. They did not close down the account. I have no reason to think they will close the account out of the blue. Maybe my situation is different from others. That they have not closed the account. I also think that the bank is not above bending the rules to keep accounts open. London still being the money laundering capitol of the world! To qualify that. Requirements for holding a UK bank account is being a resident of the UK! Banks determine that with a UK address. Using online banking I have changed my address a number of times. I have not been required to go to a branch to provide any documentation of proof of address. As far as the bank is concerned, I provided a UK address so they accept me as a client of the bank.

As I said, The bank knows I live in Thailand. Even though I use a UK address. I provided the info they wanted so they would not close my account. It has nothing to do with administrators.

I use Wise but have not been informed of that. So thanks I will check it out.

If you read my first comment after your OP. I stated that I use a UK address. That fact that I don't live at that address and never have seems to be irrelevant to the bank.

a few days ago Farage was asked if he intended to sue the bank and BBC. He said all options were on the table. That same day the bank made an apology and the BBC followed suit. But politically the Which lead to Alison Rose resigning.

That's not the same thing. You won't get any interest payments on savings. They are just a currency transfer service.

Rubbish. I earn an income in the UK. Being able to keep that account is important to me. The bank wanted to know certain information. I provided that info. That is not rolling over. That is protecting myself from having my account closed. But if you want to be at loggerheads with your bank, go for it see how far it gets you!

Because it's irrelevant. Any UK bank can close your account if you don't meet their requirements.

What do you think it means?

Not saying.

I think you'll find that unless you have a UK address linked to your Bank account. There is no obligation for UK banks to keep your account open. Even then I received a letter from my bank, saying they were aware I was living in Thailand and asking for my tax details here in Thailand. If I was not able to provide those details they would have closed my account.

BarraMarra, was it not you who strayed off topic first, with your comment about Hospitals and shopping malls?

I think it was proven that the damage was caused by Ukrainian air defence missiles crashing into buildings after missing their targets

This is how crazy it is. Ukraine buys Russian oil from Hungary and Turkey, which they use in their tanks to fight Russia!

India's Foreign Minister said it best ‘Europe has to grow out of the mindset that Europe's problems are the world's problems, but the world's problems are not Europe's problems’.

Maybe they process soybean as well and can't guarantee cross contamination won't occur.

Viagra would have been a better option.

If you are so certain of your case, then take legal advice, and then use the law to get back what you feel entitled to. Your idea of a solution is just nut's unless you are looking for trouble.

You can go to SCB and they will reset your card for the 6 digit pin. No idea if it will still work. I guess you could try, but I doubt it will work. The ATM could eat your card or you may be able to cancel the attempt.

It's called deflection. Accuse your opponent of doing what the democrats have been doing.

Telling a black voter if he doesn't vote for him (Biden) then he ain't black! Biden is a racist.

That situation hasn't changed with Biden either.

It depends on how many days the mourning process lasts for. Normally it's 3-4 days. Can cost up to 100,000 baht depending on the food provided. But people who come to pay their respects will contribute to the cost so you might get 40-50,000 baht of the cost. Rich people may do 7 days. Temple cost for the cremation can be anything from 60-100,000 baht depending on the temple.

So you are in favour of human trafficking. After all it's a right wing thing?
