Facial recognition by 9 September

[Fabio1980]

"Contact your bank with your passport for facial recognition by 9 September"

I got this message, even though I never use the app: I only keep it installed for salary payment notifications. I have a few questions, since the bank isn't close to where I am now, nor is the ATM:
1) Does this message still allow me to use the ATM?
2) If I don't go to perform facial recognition, will the ATM also be blocked?

3) Can be done also trough the bank application?

I just read this.......

 

Starting from July–August 2025, Thai banks are required to implement biometric authentication—specifically facial recognition—for certain high-risk mobile transactions:

 

•  Transfers of 50,000 baht or more per transaction

•  Cumulative transfers of 200,000 baht or more per day

•  Requests to increase daily transfer limits above 50,000 baht

I've never used any of the three "options": but other than that, if I don't show up at the bank for this facial recognition, will I be able to use the ATM normally or will I have problems? Thanks.

I would say almost certainly yes you can use the ATM as normal!!! Unless you are doing any of the above.

 

I'm pretty sure ATM's have no facial recognition....it is only for the app and inside the bank.

 

Could be wrong.

Which bank this time?

 

There have been a few threads discussing how different banks are going about this.
