webfact Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 FILE PHOTO for reference only Bangkok Bank has expanded the range of services it offers to customers in Thailand. The bank has announced that its money withdrawal service is now available at all 12,500 branches of 7-Eleven nationwide. The bank said the service is available 24/7 and will help to offer convenience to people who live in remote areas or those who use 7-Eleven branches where there are no ATMs, Bangkok Biz News reported. Customers can withdraw from 100 THB to 5,000 THB per transaction, with a maximum withdrawal limit of 20,000 THB per day. Customers will be charged 15 THB per transaction. The withdrawals are made via Bangkok Bank’s mobile banking app, with the cash then collected from 7-Eleven. Presumably, the customer will specify the withdrawal amount using the app and then either scan or present a QR code to the 7-Eleven staffer who will give them the cash. Anyone using the service will need to present a photo ID. Bangkok Bank also offers a deposit service at 7-Eleven. Customers can deposit between 100 THB and 30,000 THB per transaction, up to 100,000 THB per day. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-03-16 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnacha Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 51 minutes ago, KarenBravo said: Why? There are ATMs outside nearly every 7-11. For some people, a sense of security. Thailand is relatively free from the high levels of ATM crime in Europe, but that could change quite rapidly. I can tell you that, at the level of regular consumers, the economy is noticeably starting to falter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Drake Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 1 hour ago, KarenBravo said: Why? There are ATMs outside nearly every 7-11. There are three 7 Elevens within 200 meters of my house. One, the closest, has no ATM. Another, across the highway, has a Bangkok Bank ATM that sometimes is offline. The third, across the highway and longest distance away has SCB. In an emergency I might use this. But I can't see too many regular people ready to pass out 15 baht per transaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another money maker for 7-Eleven and a way to move us towards the cashless society. I might be old-fashioned, but I prefers to use cash for my daily needs and smaller shoppings. It's like you (hmm, I) don't spend more than you have in your pocket, and it's easy to plan how much you can cash out in average per day, so you still have some assets left for the last week or two of the month. But always look at the bright side of life: It's good healthy exercise to walk to a Bangkok Bank ATM, and save 15 baht at the same time...????☺️ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too much for 'regular' people in need of cash, me thinks. Irregular people -- maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 3 hours ago, KarenBravo said: Why? There are ATMs outside nearly every 7-11. My thought too. And the described procedure with the app is identical to the "cardless withdrawal" which costs no fee at Bangkok Bank ATMs. Taking into account that four card withdrawals per month at other banks ATMs (same region) are free, I wonder who is attracted to pay 15 Baht fee at the 7/11 counter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klauskunkel Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 7-Elevens will now have lots of cash available, that's good news for the slipper-clad robber on his Honda Scoopy waiting to make a withdrawal with his homemade shotgun. Gone are the days of 3,000 baht holdups and a bag of Lay's potato chips. Wondering if they thought this through... Nah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You chose to live in the back-of-beyond...............or, was it your wife that did the choosing? Whatever. It still doesn't make much financial sense for those 7-11s that do have ATMs. Sounds like another money-grubbing scheme by CP where the franchisees don't have a say. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuvu2 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 7-11 is hardly a convenience store anymore. Between the bill paying, cooking services, cappuccino making, and banking services it now takes forever to pay for a loaf of bread. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
