mtls2005 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I had a hard time using SCBeasy (online and mobile) yesterday. Entering the "Transfer" menu it would hang (repeating progress bar). On the third try, using the web app on a PC, I was able to complete the transfer. Prior to yesterday, but in the last ~ 5 days, I was able to pay all normal bills using both iBanking (BBL) and SCBeasy without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asquith Production Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I would urge everyone to check their bank balances. Last Wednesday 25th March when I used the ATM of a well known bank it said it was unable to communicate. Eventually after trying about 4 times throughout the day at different ATMs I went into the bank only to find that when my bank book was updated 5000thb had been deducted from my balance on one of my attempts of getting money from an ATM. Its taken a week but they have reimbursed me. The point being if I had not gone into the bank and made the bank book up I wouldnt have noticed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reimbursement requested at counter an hour later, repaid several days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The several states are even worse. Hillary had good reasons for setting up her own server. A spokesperson for the state of California announced recently that it may take them as much as a year to change their system to increase the unemployment insurance payments because their system is so bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
