Better keep your money at home - not in thai banks cause lets not forget that some people also mysteriously loose their savings ... immigration, thai banks, and... they are simply making it difficult to want to stay here.

Ron19 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 They are doing this because they can. In Australia where I am at the moment, most of the major banks and some insurance companies presently have to front a royal commission and some have already been issued with massive penalties. The sad part about this is who do you think will have to open their wallets to pay for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Mee Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Well, as of this date, Bangkok Bank isn't charging ATM withdrawals made from machines within the Provence your bank is located. Moi just withdrew a fast 5K baht today to buy some groceries and wasn't charged a fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamalabob2 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 As of today Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn Bank are not charging a fee to withdraw funds from a savings account in the same province, even from a different bank's ATM. When are the fees starting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 They take your money, pay you next to no interest, loan your money out to others at usurious rates, then claim poverty and the need to charge you for cash transactions. Then watch the bonuses handed out to the executives. Banks have been a scourge on societies since their inception. They still are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phitsanulokjohn Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 What a liberty. First they charge you for an atm card,now they propose to impose a charge for withdrawing your own cash,that they are lending people at a greater interest than the interest they pay you.Atm card and atm withdrawals free in Uk.For the pittance of interest they pay,before long people will start stashing it under the mattress,a years old practice.Their greed knows no bounds,but soon they'll start losing customers.That'll please the shareholder.Another ill thought out idea.

Banana7 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I sincerely hope the Bank of Thailand does not allow any fees to be charged for over the counter in branch deposits or withdrawals. There must always be a way for a bank customer to withdraw, cost free, all their money in cash. I don't know of one Thai bank that guarantees their customers their systems are completely 100% safe, and will reimburse a customer for all unauthorized transactions, when using their online banking system. This is the biggest reason for not doing online or electronic banking with Thai banks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to find an article in English but they have just passed a law saying that if you make over 400 transactions a year and it is over a total of 2m Baht, unless you can prove otherwise you will be considered an online merchant and be taxed as such. Sounds fair enough to me? Anyone (?) making more than 400 transactions a year, costing over 2m bht - must surely be an online merchant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehs818 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Based on the original posting, the man wanted to take his money out of a bank that was not his. Seems fair to me for the other bank to want to charge a fee for that. But 220 baht is too much. About 20 is ok to me. ALSO, do note that I don't get an ATM charge when taking money out of the ATM for Kasikorn, where my account is. However, if you go to a different province, you will get a fee of 20 baht. Just use your own banks ATM and you should have no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaak327 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Unacceptable of course. a bank owns me money and now wants to charge me for accessing it ? If a bank cannot make a profit from their normal activities, it is time to go out of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a cash driven society, money is created by the state, as it should be. In a cashless society the banks create money, or at least virtual money. Hence the drive to make obtaining cash expensive.
