it's the way ofthe world, not thailand's fault. thailand has been behind the banking security curve and is starting to catch up.

Why can't this be in the banking app?

 

Surely the bank can code the simple test of whether or not the account has had the requisite amount of money within it and at all of the right times.

No need for the trip to the bank.  Think of all of the time and aggravation saved.

 

I want this, and that's as good a reason as any to do it.
