kurnell Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 in 15 years in Thailand, I have found SCB to be the most reliable and farang friendly bank. I have no idea what has happened lately, but their SCB 'Easy' website is non-functional, the call centre is useless and the head office does not answer calls. Please people, any other recommendations cos this is driving me mad and I need to pay people, make transactions etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeranam Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 15 years here and just joined them lst week and was impressed. I've still to figure ot how to buystocks and shares on via the site - has anyone ever done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanofphuket Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Always found scb excellent. Now UOB on the other hand are completely Cxxp. Grass not always greener...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave111223 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) Their online banking website has been done for 3 or 4 days (pretty annoying). Back home it would be an outrage...imagine Bank of America or HSBC's website going down for 4 days... here it seems pretty normally. It seems like they invest more money in the little Flash monkey animations than the functionality of the site.

Their new release of their website - SCBEasy - is worse than the previous.... More exactly the english version No trouble on thai side!! Hope they understand quickly!

At least I had no problems logging on to their internet banking. Sophon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally i can transfer money online again, going to the ATM every time is a real pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurnell Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Yes, it is back online, and hopefully it will continue. Calling their helpline was pathetic. Just some apologetic drone basically being as unhelpful as possible. I also agree, UOB is the worst back I have ever had to deal with!!! Their office near Emporium is particularly idiotic.

dutch Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) No real problems with neither Use SCB since 2004 and UOB since 1992 (former Bank of Asia). Sometimes some problems with the logic in their problem solving but...hey this is where I live.To-morrow is another day Edited September 3, 2009 by dutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
