Popular Post lkn Posted January 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2023 I regularly import my bank statements into my accounting system. For this, I rely on proper descriptions in these statements. KTB is acceptable, but with KTB Next closing 1st of February, I will lose the ability to export a statement (the app only allows to send PDF statements by email, which is not ideal). I opened an account with Kasikorn, but their statements are terrible. It just says “Debit Card Spending” or “Transfer Withdrawal”, which can be anything. KTB would use the name of the business, or the account number that money was transferred to. I have previously tried SCB, but that was even worse, just showing long alphanumeric strings as the description. Before I go and open more Thai bank accounts, I wanted to ask if anyone can point to a bank where it is possible to easily export statements as CSV and where the descriptions used for the line items mention the third party that money was sent to or received from? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper description would be something like “Rimping Supermarket” (KTB) rather than “Debit Card Spending” (KBank) or even worse “004999117992759” (SCB). The first shows where I used my card where the latter two just show the amount, although for KBank, it also tells me about the payment method, but 99% of transactions will just show “QR Transfer Deposit”.

There is no obvious receipt for my automatic debits (water and electricity), phone top-ups, subscriptions (Netflix, iCloud, etc.), services (Grab), not to mention transfers to/from third parties, PromptPay (“Scan&Go”), etc. But even if there were, I have > 100 transactions per month. I just want a proper bank statement that can be imported and automatically classified based on the description field, rather than reading through 100+ receipts each month to manually enter and classify everything. What I am asking for is pretty standard, but apparently not among Thai banks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I too import bank transactions and I use Krungsri Bank (Bank of Ayudhaya) online banking. They recently changed their statements and they were rubbish. After lots of emails, complaints etc they finally added a bit of common sense. This is what I see on my private account. The business account is slightly better but that will change in 6 months apparently. It is a bit messy putting it into the spreadsheet but doable. 12/01/2023 11:31 Transfer Deposit 24,612.00 Balance MOBILE BBL From Acc No. : X263470 12/01/2023 14:01 Transfer Withdrawal 165,792.22 Balance INTERNET BAY To Acc No. : X111698 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
