Need To Confirm A Krung Thai Debit Card On Paypal

[pede0293]

Hi, I've noticed in a few places on this forum that some have linked their Kasikorn or SCB accounts with PayPal. I have a savings account with Krung Thai Bank. I also have a debit card with them. I was able to add my savings account to PayPal but when I try to link and confirm my debit card a message comes up saying that my bank denied my card. I went to Krung Thai with a screen shot from PayPal (and a helpful translator) and they still couldn't help me. I know that my address matches (although - does Paypal take Thai script?). Any ideas on the problem? I would really rather not change banks. Thanks!

You need to speak to someone at the bank that you want to use the debit card to make a purchase on the internet, they will give you a code to use. I have not done this, but my friend said this is what he did. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the information. Did your friend use Krung Thai? I went into the bank and they did not know if it can be used on the internet. Is there a way for me to check anywhere if it even works online? I tried making a purchase but it was a US company and it wouldn't let me because the fields don't allow for a foreign address.

I am also a Krung Thai Bank customer, holding a golden plastic card with the well-known VISA logo on it. However, this card cannot be used online. This was the message from KTB's customer support, who I called after asking three employees of the branch in Patong, Phuket. They weren't able to understand "PayPal" and "Internet", all they said was "yes, this is a VISA card".

The nice guy in customer support told me only Bangkok Bank supplies VISA cards usable on the Internet, but I don't know if other banks support it as well. I would like to know.

The KTB visa card is not a real credit card but a glorified debit card.

There seems to be a KTB master card, a real credit card.

Never applied for it, still use my Dutch one, real one.
