[misa2013]

Hi

kasikorn bank. They didnt speak so good english so i hope

that maybe some people here can give me some information.

write inside how much money i put inside.

Do someone know how save is this account. If someone

have the check book in his hand can he take money

or is this account system save?

You must present your passport along with the bank book to take money out.

But protect your bank book and ATM card anyway.

You can have them setup you ATM card so that every transaction will send you a text notice

i was trying once to buy something online with visa card number but it was not working even that there was enough money on it. on the card the name is privileged member. should i put this name also when i wanna buy something online or my name.

last time when i wanted to buy credit for my happy mobilie phone on the internet i put my name but it was not working.

also on the atm if i ask for saving balance it says invalid account. but money i can take.

what i also would like to know is if you can pay the rent by sending it on another bank where the owner of the house is.

i have a

K-Max Debit Card

To use your Kasikorn ATM Debit card for online purchases you must first have them set it up.

Don't you need a Visa card to purchase on line. I can not use my Siam ATM card for on line purchase.

I have to use a credit card drawn on my bank back home.

I think there is a difference between an ATM card and a visa card.

I am gobsmacked that they do not speak good English.

I fell out with Kasinkorn but lack of English was never a problem.
