Don Chance Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Has anyone used this card from SCB ? What i am wondering is can it be used internationally and in case of emergency get cash from a local bank or get a replacement card? I have contact them via email but haven't heard back. The T&C does not say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh wizard Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 One evening after a little drink in the UK. I was online and made some purchases on eBay, the card I used for payment was my Kasikorn card. I didn't find this out until about a week later, but payments went through no problem.

Don Chance Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) How about mastercard with Bangkok Bank? Is it easy to get? I need a solution because my prepaid card has expired and they won't send a replacement to Thailand. So i am bit worried about something going wrong and not having a back up. I have 2 atm cards and $400 in amex checks. A few Ether. I guess i could transfer funds from my account to a local bank if need be? I think i better buy about another $1000 in TC's. Is the best solution. Edited February 7, 2023 by Don Chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRToMRT Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Just as easy to get a standard SCB account as its issued with a debit card (mastercard) that only lets you draw if theres funds in the account. I have used mine all over the world to pay and get cash no problem. The app shows you all the details of your balance and usage. I presume all Thai banks has something similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm amazed anyone still uses T/Cs in the 21st century, last time I used them was in the mid 90's, have you actually tried to cash them here? Open a local account and get a Visa or MasterCard ATM/debit card. Of course, this assumes you can transfer from your home bank to a Thai bank without having to visit your home branch. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The T&C does not say. Yes…. I have this exact card (MCard) and use it all over… Europe, Middle East, Japan… no issues at all. I’ve never withdrawn cash with it though. & Emergency cash, I’ve no idea. Standard Thai ATM cards (I.e. SCB & BKK bank savings accounts) can be used to withdraw cash overseas.

Don Chance Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) Crossy MRToMRT As for TC's they are still widely accepted all over the world., If they are lost or stolen they will give them right back to you. Same with a CC, if it is lost or stolen you can just go to a bank and they will give you a cash advance. This is why i ask if the Bangkok Bank MC provides this service. That is the whole point. I can use paypal to pay for flight these days and most other things. i don't really need a CC for other than safety. My bank will send me a new atm card but it take 2-3 weeks (ridiculous.) So i need to have enough cash to last me in case that happens. Edited February 7, 2023 by Don Chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
