Debit card daily limit

[cooked]

I just finished with the thread http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/906609-bangkok-bank-internet-banking/

and decided to pay via my debit card. I had forgotten that I had set myself a daily limit of ฿5000.- (paying by internet) and so of course I can't pay for my air ticket.

Calling the infamous 1333 number of Bangkok bank resulted in my being told I couldn't raise this limit.

What is the maximum daily limit, please, before I spend even more time at a bank, possibly only to find that I can't raise the limit enough to pay the ฿20 000.- that I need?

Can I raise it to ฿20 000.-?

Mine are set at 50k and have option to change daily limit up to 500k online. Suspect to make change to transaction limit will require bank visit as does not appear to be an option on-line.

Thanks.

I did try phoning and was told 'this limit cannot be changed. A bit puzzled.

But your limit of 5k is far below any of those options so expect a bank visit would be required. Also believe in the past limits could only be lowered by phone - not increased - to help prevent fraud - but perhaps that has changed as last used a decade or more ago.

Have done this at ATM after system locked me out by setting limit to 0. Bank manager showed me how, used icon that said 'other' on first touch screen and reset limit was on next screen as one choice. Had to enter ID number used to set up account. Highest level possible was much higher than 20,000.

You can change the limit. Talk to the branch Mgr. Many bank reps are ignorant in answering many questions.

I did this on the phone the day before yesterday, changed to 50K and worked immediately.

[Caca4u]

Bkk bank has a maximum of 50k only for foreigners and u cannot increase it.

Try opening an accoung at kasikorn, you can change the limit anytime over the phone, I think the maximum is 200k

Beg to differ. I'm farang, my BBL debit card limit is 200k, though can withdraw only 40k per day from ATM. As said, change limit at iBualuaug account on Net.

When I replaced my card at Bangkok Bank I was asked what daily limit I wanted they said the limit was up to me I chose 250,000 Baht a day I could have chosen more but this was adequate maybe because I am a very long term customer with funds coming in monthly from Bangkok bank in the UK I don't know or maybe it's the branch

Suspect you are not trying to get more from ATM as my daily limit is 50k and I can take two 25k withdrawals from ATM (and often do).

[Raybangkok]

I am talking about paying for things using the card such as travel or hotels around the world which is why I chose that daily amount as to the ATM I have not withdrawn very large sums of money so cannot comment. Thanks for the info.

Harsh... I would say the problem is if they do not know the answer, they would rather tell you it isn't possible!

Dumb but that is the way they are.

I got a credit card to use for airfares and internet bookings.

Mine is set to Baht 50,000. Outlets of the bank cant do it but they can submit the form to the head office. It will take time and from what I am told you wont have access to the facility whilst the change is processed.

I would suggest, if possible, you visit the head office of your bank and have a word with them. They can do it immediately

Most can raise it to 2 million a day

Don't believe their lies

Various banks told me 100-200- 500k etc as well

I went into the manager and said I need more

They switched me to 2mil a day in a few minute

(you might have to change to a different colour of card but that's no problem for me)

Don't let them bullshit you... Or they will

If they insist they can't ask for manager, if he won't see you ask to close ALL your accounts and withdraw the balances in cash (banks don't like that)

i am on a tourist stamp and opened my account at BKK bank last week. Same problem, limit only 50k per day. I asked the bank to change it. Mai dai ka... i tried on the app on my phone and on my computer and same, "cannot" it says i have to contact the branch to change it. So i tried over the phone, cannot. Now we are 1 week later and i transfered 500k into my account. I tried again today to change the limit on my computer and this time it worked. All limits have been increased to 500K.

 

I guess if your account is empty or has a low balance you are not allowed to change the limit, even the bank. Dont know if that's the reason or if i was just lucky. I'd go with the first one.
