For those contemplating direct deposit of their SS check have your Thai bank open two accounts… One account use as your deposit account and the second account for your debit card, online banking and QR payments… This creates a firewall so if the second account is compromised and needs to be closed your SS deposit account is left intact… Money can be easily moved from on one account via app or online and you can control the balance of the debit card account… It also keeps the SS deposit account clean of transactions to make the bank book/statement easier to read for immigration extension purposes…
