Was in NZ beginning of the year. They are definitely mostly cashless (hardly anyone carries cash) and the system went down one day at noon, and lasted 6-7 hours. Shops closed, gas stations shut, supermarkets closed...a real mess.

So yes it will happen sometimes, and yes it can cause big problems.

Hard to believe 7 banking apps have issues at the same time, as they all run independent

 

Maybe better check your phone or network.

 

Edit : actually made 3 payments with Kasikorn in the last hour, and tried right now kk - scb - uob and krungsri app, and they all worked

 

Yes OP, my comment may sound funny to you, hence the laughing emoji, but we are not all idiots

Payday and new face scan technology introduced today

 

My bkk bank account still hasn’t recovered, yes can confirm most other banks having issues. If your account is working consider yourself lucky I just checked with 4 individuals one of which in Bangkok and they are confirming issues 

KK down for my better half today.

Bangkok Bank was down last night, but is working now.

 

Same as Twitter.

Depends on how you look at it. The result of that Promtpay was/is down, made it impossible to use 7 banking apps. Some people would say that´s a big issue.

Krungsri online works fine on my laptop.

Phone apps are often not tested properly. That is why I will not use them. Yes, I am old school - software developer of 30 years.

Australias biggest bank went through this last monday, Ireland had the same a few days later, now Thailand.

as a side note in the UK Nigel Farrange who ran Brexit has been de-banked, he has to leave the country to exist.

Banks are not your friend.

Just transferred 200k by Kbank app. No issues and still says facial verification with bank is only for Thai customers.

 

Used prompt pay 1 hour ago to pay for our morning coffee

Still having issues with Bangkok Bank app.

It was still giving me issues this morning too.. but a quick check just now seemed OK.

As the thread is in Pattaya local forum for no reason I overlooked it

 

Yes Bangkok Bank app gave overload warning and simply ignored/timed out when trying to do a transfer.

BUT: I opened the website and did some stuff without a problem.

Possible explanation is PromptPay being the culprit which is irrelevant for the website.

Yes unrelated and unchanged. KBank still not prepared for foreigner facial scan. Same as SCB.

Same experience with Bangkok Bank website working.

But to be fair: nothing to do with bad app software but much worse with the PromptPay backend. And that is alarming.

Just a little taste of what would happen in an "IT world war".

Some military subs have cutting devices and not for fishing nets.

Some say: three days without internet and the world comes to an end

Preppers to the front.

But internet banking isn't necessary because the mobile apps are so secure and convenient. Yeah, right.
