Just a heads up.

 

I normally use my K-Web shopping card to pay for purchases on Aliexpress. Always went smoothly up until today when my card payment (USD 82) was rejected.

 

Phoned Kasikorn.

Turns out that (1) It was blocked because the charge was in USD instead of THB. I have my currency set at THB, but I think the Chinese companies want dollars.

 

(2) There is a new security check in place called "Verified by Visa."

 

I was told that I need to google "Verifed by Visa", choose the one for my bank, then follow instructions to add required information.

Account No

Card Expiry

Card Limit.

 

Just a heads up from me.

 

Logged on to my K-Bank account to find  my K-Web shopping card was no longer listed.

Spoke to someone at their head office who told me that the K-Web shopping card is no longer available.

My card expired yesterday and when a card expires it is not being 'replaced'.

 

A new type of card is coming out which can be used "everywhere", but you cannot just change the credit limit online.

Also, it costs 500 baht!

Anyone got anymore information on this?

I saw it is mentioned for several months now in my online banking page.

Something along the lines of K-bank will be introducing a new shopping card. Customers will be able to apply for it once issued. I didn't see anything about a fee.
