tomx2 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Hi. I am living in the U.S. Have 15,000 Baht @ Bangkok Bank in Pattaya. Account been open since 2019. Receive this email (text) today regarding my Bangkok Bank Debit Card: An annual fee of 300 baht or a special fee rate according to your entitlement for your debit card no. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. will be collected from your bank account by 29/10/2021. Call 1333 for more information. Is this a normal fee charged annually by Bangkok Bank bases on my debit card entitlement? Why wasn't I charged in 2020? Has anyone else received this notice? Thanks. TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riclag Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) I don't remember if the BKK bank ever gave a notice before but Yes , its a annual fee! My fee was 200 bht ! Check your passbook entries for last year, there should be a fee charged Edited September 16, 2021 by riclag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargamon Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 it's a regular fee. I refused their ATM card because of it, having been taken in the past. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardColeman Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) Bangkok bank can/do take money each year for some hospital insurance too if you have signed the paperwork Edited September 16, 2021 by RichardColeman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Should be two fees, annual fee about 300 and ATM card fee about 300, i stopped the card fee as I didn't need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konaboy Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 so. I believe you go inside the bank to make withdrawals if no ATM card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use your smartphone for cardless withdrawals if available at BB I'm not sure, can also use your bank book and passport in branch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdmn Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) I get charged 300 baht a year for the ATM card. That is all I get charged so I don't know what the other fee is that some people are talking about. I'm also set up for online banking, so even though I haven't been in Thailand for quite awhile I can go online and see the fee being taken out.

Seems like you should have been charged? 6 hours ago, tomx2 said: Has anyone else received this notice? Yes. I pay 200 baht each year at BBL. Same-same at SCB. But maybe the annual fee has gone up since I was last charged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldera Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I received such an SMS this year, too, and I don't remember ever receiving one before. They've always charged the yearly debit card fee though, just without that friendly reminder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been hacked or had money stolen. I had an unauthorised debit made on my Bangkok Bank debit card a few weeks ago, the card had never been used and was in a draw at home, I did get a refund but I had to file a police report first. I had a Natwest MasterCard some years ago, probably 18 years ago, and despite it being not being used for years previously, and at home in London, somebody used the account for a spending spree in South Korea, a country I’d never been to. A short phone call to Natwest and the debt was cleared and a new card issued. I’m glad to hear that you and your accounts have never been hacked or had cash stolen, but plenty of others have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
