All ATMs appear to be down (930 25th)

[Peterw42]

Have just tried 6 different ATMs in pattaya and all say comm error. Is this all over ?

Maybe trying to stop a run on the banks

[PatOngo]

Online transfers currently not functional also!

It's part of the state of emergency

Or maybe just a problem with your card.   If your card has been blocked, like if it's a foreign card, you can get the same error message which implies it a communication error but really it's your foreign bank disapproving the transaction.

 

Or, it can be simply a comm error as the message implies in a "selected area."   It's kinda like how the internet can go down in selected errors.

 

I would also recommend if those 6 different ATMs were the same bank or maybe two different banks is to try ATMs owned by other banks....even banks you have never used.  It may end-up costing your around a Bt20 extra charge to use another bank ATMs, but maybe some other banks are not have comm problems in your area.

It could be all over!?

 

Handling money that has been in the pocket, or a handbag of an infected person, is a sure way to get the nasties on your hands. Then you rub your eye, or scratch your nose,,,, etc.

 

The banks are just trying to help.

Bangkok Bank online is S-L-O-W from my PC although it does seem to be working, phone app just times out.

 

SCB appears to be working fine.

 

Hopefully a temporary glitch.

Yea, I just logged onto Bangkok Bank mbanking on 25 Mar at 9:45am but it took a good 30 seconds after entering my PIN before my acct screen appeared....normally the accts screen appears a second or two later.  But once into my accts screen when I tried a Bt100 transfer between two of my Bangkok Bank accts the connection timed out....got a error msg saying there was a connection problem....try later.

 

Yeap...must be some type of internal comm problem....maybe overloaded with mbanking/ibanking/ATM connections.

I just transferred 150,000 Baht from My SCB Account to my KBank account no problems.  Then I had my monthly USD transfer land in my KBank account from my US Chase Bank account, that I wired last night, it came quickly....
