Nationwide Banking app

[Rigsby]

I posed this question on another thread but it got swamped by other comments so here goes (again).

 

Has anyone any experience with the Nationwide Banking app on a Thai mobile. Can you do it and what hoops, if any, do you have to jump through to get it working ??

 

Thanks.

Works just fine for me, on mobile and wi-fi data.

 

Easy to set up IF you have a card-reader.

 

Note, it was a while ago that I set it up so, as always, YMMV.

Try to set it up and let us know what if any problems you have

Worked fine on a new Thai phone July 2023, but to set up you need a one time code SMS sent to your registered phone number to activate it (which was a UK number which I had with me)

Thanks UKResonant. That's what concerns me. My registered phone number is a UK landline and I only have a Thai mobile (which IS listed in my internet banking account). I've heard these 'one time codes' are hit and miss as to whether or not a Thai mobile will receive them. I've had problems with them not arriving before.

 

I posed this question because in another thread someone said he was told by a NW staff member that card readers would be phased out at some point. This is a bit disconcerting if you can't set the mobile banking app up and even more so if you don't own a smart phone, wherever you live - and yes some older folks don't like them and don't use them.
