Can i open a USD account with Kasikornbank?

[watcharacters]

I'd like to chose the rate at which I'd like a conversion, if possible.

I already have a THB account with them.

Don't let them trick you into paying for insurance.

Bank staff are known scammers pushing the insurance before opening an account.

If they pull that crap, take out the camera and snap their photo and repot them.

Just the kind of people you want watching over your savings account. LOL.

The market chooses the rate....you don't get to pick a number you like...lol

The market chooses the rate... and then the bank offers you a slightly worse one.

OP, the eligible customers for a USD account are at:

and

Whatever the rules say, you can always ask.

The manager decides, and he can accept to open you a FCD account even without PR or WP.

I know, I got one this way at Kasikorn.

Is the info you need not on their website?

The best bank exchange rate is available here:

Note use TT rate for what the exchange rate is out of an ATM. It can change hourly.

Thanks Oxx,

Indeed, I'm not qualified with KBank but I hope I can find another bank where I am.

Krung Sri almost certainly will accept you. You'll be classed as non-resident, and the only document you need to provide is your passport. See https://www.krungsri.com/bank/en/PersonalBanking/DepositProducts/ForeignCurrencyDeposit.html#RemarkLink445
