November 18, 20205 yr Today I went to SCB (Nimman Rd) to open an savings account (1st time). I was told that I need to bring them my lease contract. After I took my contract and they looked said it has to be 12 months lease. ????????anyway, my contract is month to month. Unlike Kasikorn that asked for ฿10,000 minimum deposit for retirees (ok, more reasonable). I already have Bangkok Bank accounts, but I just want to keep some funds in other banks.
November 18, 20205 yr The one at Big C, Mae Hia seems farang friendly.....It's unknown if they change branch to branch..... The only thing I've noticed with SCB is they seem to nickle & dime for everything.....

November 18, 20205 yr I went there 2 days ago for the same reason. They were not able to explain to me in English if I can invest in international foreign exchange if I open account in their bank. They thought I'm talking about foreign currency exchange .. Anyway, keep us posted as I'm also interested in opening a second bank account in SCB bank. I went to the branch in Suan Dok hospital, there they DID NOT ask a 12 months lease to open an account, just a valid passport with a valid retirement visa. FYI ..
November 19, 20205 yr For better English and the full range of services the main CM office on Thapae Road at Chiang Klan road is good. What is "international foreign exchange? Foreign currency deposit account? If so, not all branches do it but main office does.

She had no clue regarding retirees bank account. 1st they asked for work permit ???????? then after 3 employee tried together, he asked me for proof of income from overseas and lease contract. I told them not all retires use monthly transfer, but they keep repeating the same thing. I'll try SuanDok hospital branch.

Those Thais pretending they did not understand were being so polite by refraining from telling you that you don't know what you are talking about.
