Social Security direct deposit - no ATM - no online banking

[EVENKEEL]

I stopped direct deposits of Social Security in BB, and wire transfer money monthly. I thought since I stopped direct deposit I could have ATM card again. Nope, doesn't matter. No more ATM or online banking. I will have to open a new account to have an ATM and online banking.

I guess that specific account was opened and dedicated for SS deposits only. I didn't know they had such a thing. I bank with Bangkok Bank also, and have a savings acct with a debit card, an App on my phone, and I use their web banking.

I had my account for years before I started the direct deposit of SS. But, after a few years they caught up with me.

Same with me. Now I have two accounts. One is Deposit account and the other has full spending.

The new security was intended to enforce SSA reciptiants transfer in person to avoid possible fraud.
