KBank - may a third-party withdraw by my QR code?

Featured Replies

Kasikorn bank

I'm outside of the country.

My friend needs to withdraw money on my behalf.

Daily expenses - small amounts.

If I generate a QR withdrawal request via my K-App, he'll then iniate a withdrawal, will this all succeed at all?

He'll need to scan a temporary QR by third-party app scanner or simply take a photo of it; send it to me in real time. I'll then rescan it with my real app and the ATM will finally dispense him money.

Right?

I've never withdrawn money via QR from my thai card.

Will it be legal, though? For a QR is supposed to be scanned by the app of the owner

    I don't know the exact expiration of the withdrawal QR code, but it's rather short. Still, what you want to do is doable, as long as you coordinate it well. Maybe keep him on a WhatsApp call and walk

    Really? How? Facial recognition if the right person making the withdrawal? Dream on.

He will scan QR code to receive, which is his QR code, same code every time, send it to you, you then pay him what you want, this goes into his bank account, then he withdraws it

He is talking about cash withdrawal at an ATM machine by a third person from his account. At least this is what I understand.

Somene posted about this a year or two ago. Yes, he/she can go to an atm, initiate a cardless withdrawal, send you the qr code which you can scan and approve. I didn't believe it at the time and asked the poster who said yes, that's how it works.

I'm too lazy to chased down the thread.

Yes that's the process.

Often used by crypto holders who want to exchange their coins for THB and don't want/can't meet the merchant in person or receive a wire transfer.

He can pay another person using their QR code, it won't expire, everyone has a QR code to receive payments. The other person will then withdraw the money from his bank account.

It's not complicated

None. It would be withdrawn by him, from Kasikorn ATM. From my account.

Never heard of that. Would be far simpler if he or friend had a bank account

Some delay is expected and allowed. Not hours but minutes, dozens of minutes perhaps.

No, in my recent experience for cash withdrawal at the ATM it are seconds, not minutes. It is to prevent others to withdraw from your account, just think about scammers taking money from your account.

Yes it's in seconds (maybe 1 minute), just enough time to take the QR code picture and send it to the account holder via Line or WhatsApp.

Did you ever try that in reality and did it work?

Maybe you should just try it. According to Google results there is a longer delay allowed. But the question is if the sent picture will work within your banking app to scan it in to confirm. I experienced sometimes errors even when standing directly at the ATM to withdraw from my own account.

I don't know the exact expiration of the withdrawal QR code, but it's rather short. Still, what you want to do is doable, as long as you coordinate it well. Maybe keep him on a WhatsApp call and walk through the process together. Once you've done your part with the app, he'll need to hit "Confirm" on the ATM pretty quickly too.

I don't think I would actually do it though. Kasikorn Bank can obviously detect this, and in the current climate, they might well freeze your app or your entire account. You can obviously do other QR code payments (or payments by card) while you're abroad, but sending someone to an ATM to impersonate you probably violates their terms.

What's the difference with using the ATM card of someone else?

Kasikorn will detect that a cash withdrawal was approved within the app while the phone is overseas. Not sure however if that might have any consequences.

Depends if they link the location

Same, that's not allowed either, because people then report a scam when their "friend" steals money

send him your atm card and pin number, DHL overnight.

Alternatively, Western union... he can collect showing his passport.
