KhunMoo Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Well...here goes: I have multiple accounts, at K-Bank. Some personal, some investment related and some for new company startup project. I used one of my Creditcards a Tesco-express at about 02.30 am - no problem, get SMS about the purchase, all good. I go home and do some late night accounting for a new startup I'm doing (Might be quitting my job here, and go on this full time, so i like to be quite "updated" about, the financial-business plans I'm doing right now, trying to do some calculations etc. Also i wanted to transfer some funds around between several accounts. Here the madness starts, first i can't log into my account "technical error...bla bla.." so i wait a little doing some calculations on revenue flows. I go back then i can login, but ALL accounts show (Personal, Investment, Company related show: Amount available: ******************** Total net value "0 Baht". This makes my heart skip a beat, as we are talking multiple accounts and serious amounts of money. So i check the status for my debit, Credit and "Web" cards and they say "not active" <deleted>!! I grab a stiff whiskey, and go to an ATM with some of the cards, and the shit ain't working - i can login, but not se balance or withdraw cash. But the machine doesn't eat the card. I go back and login - and now everything seems to be normal, all balances seems to be correct, cards active etc. I know it's 5 AM in the morning, but if Somchai, is fuc_king around with the cables in the big K-House's basement, shouldn't they have a pop-up or something at the web-bank. This shit, seriously freaked me out...we are talking serious amounts of cash. Anyone else experienced something like this with Kasikorn Bank?

ZZZ Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Tried to login around 05:00 this morning but got a message that online services were down due to system maintenance. Just tried again and all looks OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dancer Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) Kasikorn bank seems constanly to have these late night electronic problems, which have caused me no end of embarrassment on occasion trying to pay for, ahem, late-night services. The explanation is apparently database updates - but there are ways to do these without cutting the world off.

KhunMoo Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thx for all the answers, yeah i know - it was just a "TIT" thing. But Somchai, and his whiskey soaked friend, at the server room apparently got it up an running again.....hurray But all i was asking for, was a "pop-up" or something like, not even making me able to login, until they know for sure, that all the backend databases are in connectivity, with the web-interface. My own education, and hopefully future business, is half based on these things - so i know it can be done quite easy....anyway, you do wonder when millions of baht turns into first "********" and then into "0" But - Mai Ben Rai from here, it's working again But is is a reminder, that my main banking - and piggy bank, wi'll be HSBC in Hong Kong - best banking experience ever!

KhunMoo Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Welcome to Thailand.I imagine they do maintenance late at night.I would check on your account during the day. Yeah i know - it's just not the amount, you wan't to see, as a total balance on multiple accounts: "0.00" baht - when you know there should be a bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryw52 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 System offline during backups I suspect. 24 hour banking is a new concept, agree a system down message would be expected and normal. I guess we all need to wait until 2015 ASIAN sharpens the Thai banks. I think their in for a rude shock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
