Has anyone been charged a service fee for a low account balance by a Thai bank?
Thanks for all the replies. It seems the consensus is that banks may only charge a fee if your balance stays below 2,000 Baht for a year and there’s no activity on the account during that time. So even with just a 20 Baht balance, as long as you transfer some money in and out every six months, which is what I normally do, you likely won’t be charged any low balance account fees or asked to close the account. That’s been my experience so far as well. At one point, I had a strange situation with KBank. They sent me a physical letter via post saying my account was locked and would be closed if I didn’t visit a branch to unlock it soon. I was surprised by this, and at the branch, they explained it happened because the account had been dormant with no activity for over 12 months. This was before I knew about the account dormancy issue and before I started doing small transfers in and out of my unused accounts a couple of times a year. Since then, I haven’t had any issues with accounts being locked or flagged as dormant because the accounts now show some regular activity. I assume banks have this dormant policy as a security measure to avoid keeping accounts open for people who might be deceased and to avoid someone illegally withdrawing money from a deceased person's account. That’s why I mentioned in my original post that I show some account activity on the accounts an average of twice a year to let them know the account owner is still breathing, which wasn't actually a joke. So it sounds like I can just continue keeping low balances, around 20 Baht, and make occasional transfers every six months. That should be enough to avoid low balance fees and prevent the accounts from being closed. -
