ATM cards

[itsari]

I forgot my pin code and went to the Bangkok  Bank with the ATM  card for changing the number .

I was informed that that is not possible . You need to purchase a new card and pay 100 baht . 

Nothing else i could do but comply .

 

One other occasion I put in the wrong numbers as i was confusing the number with a second card I have from the same bank . The ATM machine kept  the card .

I go to the bank and explained where and what ATM this happened . I was then told again you have to buy a new card for 100 baht 

 

I am somewhat surprised by this charge . Do all Thai banks do the same ?

Yes for instant service so its a bargain but you can do it for free online

But sure entered the wrong number more than once?

If the machine says false it's false.

You have three attempts as far as I remember.

 Re wrong Pin ... Same happened to me with home country card. One attempt with mistaken numbers and all that banks ATMs refused withdrawals.Contact issuing bankmessage etc!

Just checked on Kasikorn website and there it sounds like they can unblock the card.

No mention of a fee.

3. What should I do if I forget my bankcard security code or if my code is cancelled because I entered the wrong code four consecutive times at an ATM?

 

You can request a new card code at any SCB branch. Please bring your card, passbook and I.D. card. 

So what you were told at Bangkok Bank sounds unique.

Sometimes if the ATM grabs the card at a bank I've seen them come out and get the card back out

You used to be able to do that, but most ATM machines now automatically guillotine the card if retained.

When i clean forgot the number i never tried using the card as i knew if i was wrong on the third time i would loose the card .

When i used the wrong card i had tried twice and on the third try the card was retained .

The practice of charging for getting your card back seems wrong  what ever the charge .

They're not charging you to get your card back, they're charging you for a new card.

Not enough room on the back of my hand with the pin code being 6 digits these days

Just do cardless withdrawals with the bank app.

Yes , that maybe a better option . But you could forget the code for that too .

Not a good idea to leave pin codes hidden somewhere on the phone .

A friend had her phone stolen . The thief looked through the phone and found her pin number and then of course proceeded to remove cash from her account .

Facial recognition for me and only works when you're staring directly at the camera.

Krung Thai Bank ATM once took my card, I went inside and asked to get it back. "Sorry can not, we open ATM once per week, come next week please".

Came next week, "sorry we destroy your card, please get new card". At least it was free.

Don't be fooled  - it's just paying you to go away ????

Some ATMs are eating your card after one missed passcode.  Can take an hour in a bank to get issued a new card.  The 100 baht fee is not an issue.

I think it is a issue . 100 baht or 1 baht , it is a issue

Cards are for people with a few brain cells, so from what I've read, you don't really qualify.

Thank the lord we have freedom of speech .

But your input does not add up when considering the number of cards around in Thailand or the world for that .

Jeeze , its not the amount of money . It is the principle .

After reading replies i can begin to see they can not trust the people collecting cards from the machines .

Therefore you must have a new card at your own expense
