Sounds outdated compared to what they do in Thailand.. here I can do the same in under a minute on the computer with Kasikorn no need to go to a bank. Where are you from ? :sorry:

 

 

Not apples with apples though is it; the Guy 'went into the bank' !

Where did it say that?

It said he took the money to the authorities... 

He could have simply provided his bank account details for them to check what he found inside

You be surprised how little information the tellers and the bank staff

for that matter has on their screens when it comes to where your monies

go, apart from name and account  number they have nothing showing,

and if you want more info on a customer like address, ID number or

god forbid a picture, you're up a stone wall faces... 

Because they shouldn't give you customers details to start with.

I live in Thailand.. just use internet banking from the Kasikorn. 

I must say K-Bank Internet banking has always been a pleasure to use. They have taken away the inter-bank transfer fee.

"I would definitely not be surprised after being told the banks keep no account records past 12 months."

 

Who told you that?  Who confirmed it's true?

 

I've had reason to get details / confirmation of transactions several years old, takes a couple of days and there are small fess, and I'm guessing many other members have done the same.

What happens to any money that has been in the account for more than 12 months?

As I said no records past 12 months in history..

 

Go on and verify with your bank  if you doubt me.

 

Insane!

 

Hell I requested records from a USA brokerage from  9 years past  when I knew they were required to keep records for 10 years.

 

I got the records I sought.

 

Try that in Thailand.     ?????

No, he went to the bank, checked the details, and relinquished the funds by authorizing a reversal or transfer.  It's in the photo!

 

You can't just agree and tell them to take the money- you have to sign something.

Yup...real world sorts:smile:

 

Consider the plight of the elderly or only partly educated for instance.  I don't go to the bank often I must admit, but a couple of weeks ago I needed to make a transfer while I was out and about, and the local branch was full of customers.  So clearly they are needed.

It could have been sent to an account number and this is the excuse we where given.

 

So instead of admitting the useless staff couldnt enter in correct digits, they made this elaborate excuse, which is not plausible, because trasfers are done to account numbers and not names

 

Are people this stupid to believe this horse pucky excuse?
