International card payments stopped working at Bangkok Bank

[seajae]

Bangkok Bank has stopped international card payment unless OTP's are used, this stops online gaming, Netflix and several other businesses outside Thailand from now being able to be paid as they do not use OTP in payments. I find it strange as I have been using my card for years making payments without problems, Have to wonder if this has something to do with the tariffs being placed especially as Bangkok Bank is chinese backed, has anyone else using banks other than Bangkok Bank had this OTP thing  pushed on them, it started yesterday morning, had already made one payment that went through then 30 minutes later it no longer worked, very strange as no for warnings were made.

More to do with Bangkok Bank using TPN and not Mastercard processing facilities.

TPN has always been iffy for overseas payments.

The thread is about International Cards being use, not Bkk Banks own Debit card.

Can I pay say Netflix or Betfred via Bangkok bank using my Barclaycard? How?

What did you expect from Disney Hotstar.................. Intelligent content?

He said Bangkok Bank card?  Netflix Thailand accepts Bangkok Bank debit card without issues.  This could  be an alternative if one wants to consume Neftlix content while in Thaialnd.  For Thailand and just about anythiing that comes out of Thailand it is better to use Thaialnd based cards.  I have encountered so many problems with using my US based credit cards for business from Thailand(Bangkok Airways, Thai Airways and many hotels).  It is has been like this for me for years.    Also, how can I use one card from a from a foreign country for a service in Thailand through a local bank? Are you saying that Thailand companies use  Thai based banks as payment processors and this is the problem?

My card is  a Mastercard issued by Bangkok Bank, this is part of the message they sent me "the bank has suspended payment transactions for goods and services with most online merchants registered abroad that do not use the OTP SMS service, as these platforms are often associated with fraudulent activities",.  My problem is that when I set my card up for international payments I had to accept that I took full responsibility for any fraudulent payments made on my card, now they are saying that the bank is changing the agreement we made which stops me using my card to make payments outside Thailand when Master Card is not thai and the money being used is mine(debit).
