Has anyone else gotten notice on their Bangkok Bank mobile app that the bank has reviewed your account and for your safety have changed your banking transfer limits? Friday I was attempting to pay a bill to a Thai firm when I encountered the problem of limit being dropped to a total of 10,000 Baht per day (the lowest amount). Went to bank to see why the limit changed and was not successful in doing transfer even after they updated my account records. I was told to come back again today to work on changing limits. The high pollution levels here in Chiang Mai are keeping me at home. Will go to the bank when the air pollution levels drop. I am aware of two other foreigners who have encountered the same problem with the Bangkok Bank app limits being lowered to the minimum. I was able to use my I-banking to pay the bill once returned home and accessed my laptop and my I-banking logon information.

I naively tried to transfer just below 50 thousand a couple of months ago. I thought since they'd told me I needed face recognition for transfers bigger than 50 thousand, any transfer below that would be easy. It was rejected though. I switched to paying with my foreign credit card.

Dunno. Some time ago I got notice that my daily limit was now 2 million Baht! The previous notice I got was warning me that my balance was below ฿500.-!

My monthly pension is quite modest, and I never saw 2 million of ANY currency in my life. So... dunno.

Get this message since days.

Now daily 400k

Transfer 100k

Payment / topup 50k

I couldn't care less about this bank since last September.

They are in the competition for the most stupid rules etc.

Their facial recognition is a PITA.

Limit for facial requested is 50k.

Current frontrunner: Krungsri, no more internet banking after the age of 70.
