  • It's probably not because you are ugly.   It's more likely your hand is shaking so much the camera cannot focus properly for the required time.   I will refrain from speculating on

  • Because you are a very boring poster!

    In my view, the reason for my problem is not my ugliness, but.....substandard facial recognition software being used.....   Here are some of the market leaders.....

Don't feel discouraged. You just need to switch to a farang-friendly Thai bank that caters to those with really small todgers account balances. I heard Bangkok Bank is the most farang friendly bank these days. Make the switch ASAP and thank me later.

OK.

 

I will try a bit of mascara and blush, not to mention some lipstick on this pig (pig meaning me, of course).

You're very lucky the bank didn't freeze your account and have you arrested for indecent exposure. Now, don't try that again!

When you measure in millimeters it always make things seem so much bigger than they really are. Carry on.

Most people would be considerate and post the actual name of the subject bank to try and help others. But GG has never posted anything useful in his life. So there you have it. Another useless GG topic that only excels in the art of circle jerking.

By the way.....

 

Just for further clarification concerning my main hypothesis as to why the Banking App did not work....TEN TIMES....all day....

 

As I have often stated, and it is true:

 

a.  I rarely wear clothes.

 

b.  Apparently, the banking apps do not work when one is naked.

 

c. Finally, I got clued in.  And I put on some clothes.....

 

A pinpoint oxford (light blue), with a nice tie....and....

 

SHAZAM.........

 

I was IN with the banking blue-bloods.....

 

d.  So, let this be a cautionary tale for you guys....

 

When trying to use the Banking Apps, you will have more success if you do not present yourselves without a stitch.

 

 

 

Note:  You got to pick up every stitch.....

 

YOU GOT TO PICK UP EVERY STITCH.....

No problem as Vance is possibly slightly more intelligent and interesting!

Yes.

But, always remember to first wear clothes before approaching the bank branches, or even the app.

So you cannot answer the simple question as asked above!

Lennon never created a better collection of music than Rubber Soul....maybe....

 

 

Most Physicists produce their greatest work before age 24 (so it is said by some).

 

Maybe it worked the same way with Lennon.

You're still whining.  Stop whining means precisely that. Not sure i can dumb it down anymore for you.

 

Bye.

How is asking you to answer a simple question "whining"?

 

PS;  Just realised that there is no point in asking you such a question as that all you will respond with is a whining (or is that a whinnying) nonsensical response as usual!

 

PPS;  Please do not waste everyone's time with a response!

So, anyway.....

 

If you thought my experience with a Banking App authentication might have been difficult, then what about ten years in the future, when accurate deep fakes and quantum computers are available, and when today's encryption methods no longer work?

 

Then what?

 

image.png.2010c136f9aeba920f0a4b9e856fbd1a.png

 

Sure, this is fine with me.

 

However, there is just one thing that was left out of the above planning for Multi-Factor Authentication.....MFA.....

 

NUMBER SIX:  The ANAL PROBE.....

 

Maybe, around 2030, due to security risks, most banking institutions will require the ANAL PROBE method of authentication, which will be almost foolproof.

 

Personally, I am completely OK with the anal-probe approach to making withdrawals, online, from my bank....because....

 

Anything that provides me with a bit more stimulation, in my old age, sounds good to me.

 

I might even do more banking, in fact.

 

 

(How I wish I could return to my old school.  My chums and I never anticipated what is happening, these days.)......

Imagine what it was like to have your Dad give you one of these when you turned 16.

But, that was the way it was......

In the parking lot at school, back in the day.

 

Those were the days of Fortran and Assembly Language....nothing like...

Today.

 

We never felt deprived of anything, way back then....

I am so happy.

This has taken up 95% of my day, today.

 

d. I could NOT have done this without the significant support of THAIVISA (TV),  the best forum in the world, or, at least, in Thailand, full of friends who always have my back.

 

e.  Also, someone here asked for my photo of me.  But, even better, here is me back in the day, relaxing outside my old school.....ENJOY.....

Yes, Folks, I miss my old school.

And, I think we need to fire the groundskeeper....because....

Too much trash in this photo....which, as I recall....almost never happened.

 

Sure, this is a VERY ACCURATE image....absolutely......

I thought you said you used to mainline in the boarding school dorms together with Sherlock?

Which bank/app?  A lot of people here are having problems with the Bangkok Bank app, myself included.  The camera verification is buggy.

I have a beard, its taken me an hr 2 different times with BKB. Tells me my face is covered
Then this last time I went outside against the house and it worked in a couple of tries

I always use my cum face' when setting up banking apps so if my phone gets robbed and I'm forced to unlock it  at least I get some pleasure out of it 🫤🤔

Too bad they don't allow full body scans or you could include your big toe curling upwards in the frame.

 

But imagine having to do that face is front of your neighborhood noodle vendor every time you do a QR scan on your phone to pay for your next meal. 😂

Have to tried taking the face scan against a plain, or white background? Make sure your face is well it.

 

Being ugly won't prevent the facial scan, but it might just break the camera. 😀

 

A few days ago, I had to change the daily Limits in my banking app to make a larger payment than was allowed. This required a facial scan that required me to show my teeth and blink three times.

I felt a right fool, seing as I was sitting on a bench in Lotus's with people walking past.
