SCB Debit Card - No Longer Can Withdraw Money From ATM with "Card with chips"

[connda]

What a ****ed way to start an overnight trip.  I stopped about 40km from home at an SCB ATM that I often use when traveling. 
Inserted my Debit card and entered my PIN.  The ATM spits out my card with a message that "cards with chips" no longer work and to 'contact my bank."

Swell.  Hell of a way to start a trip.  I'm off to see if another bank's ATM will work or not.  Stay tuned.

Has anyone else had any issues using their SCB Debit Card at an ATM?

Just do cardless withdrawals

Quite strange.

"card without chip" would make sense.

These were cancelled. Free exchange was offered.

But hasn't that been finished years ago??

How old is your card? Expiry date?

Any damages on the card or chip?

Might be a singular case that the ATM could not read the chip?

 

Haven't used my card for a while.

If withdrawing from SCB I use cardless withdrawal.

 

But really this would make a big wave if "card with chips" wouldn't work anymore.

You found a real, actual SCB ATM? Wow! There used to be four of them within a couple of km of my house. Now, they're all gone. Last week I went to Lotus on Phutthamonthon Sai 5 and walked over to where the SCB ATM usually was outside their bank branch. Both branch and ATMs gone.

Had the same problem with my TTB card ........ chip was corrupted ........ new card works.

Try a BKB ATM most (all?) of them don't use the chip, so it should still work.

Learn to do cardless withdrawal and problem is solved. I never use a card anymore at TTB, K-Bank, SCB or BBL. All have cardless functions at ATM.

Don't know how.  I'm open to suggestions or a "how to do a cardless withdrawal" tutorial.

Tried a different ATM once I got to Chiang Mai.  It worked.  I'm not sure if it's a card reader problem or a feature.  Kbank worked no problem.  Odd message though from the SCB ATM that rejected the transaction.
The message made it sound like the card I have will not work.  I'll try the ATM I used on my way back home and see if I get the same message.

Found this on Youtube.  Somchai is your uncle.  I'll give it a try the next time.

Mods - you can close this as I thought SCB is now disabling the ability to withdraw cash using an ATM card in order to force users to the mobile application.  Perhaps not.  It may have just been the ATM's inability to correctly read the card although the error message was truly odd.
Thanks.
