SteveK Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Hi guys. I just saw that ICBC are paying 1% on their basic savings account, which is 3 times what I'm getting right now. Has anyone got any experience with this bank? Are there any better deals in Thailand on savings? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very limited branch network here I think. Union Pay card in China - don't know about here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eisfeld Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 If you want to keep money in the account (more than 100k THB) without withdrawing many times, then go for Krungsri Mee Tae Dai at 1.3%, this deposit account has usually one of the top rates and is not fixed-term. https://www.krungsri.com/bank/getmedia/42336669-e879-4f7b-98d4-ff5c9326d7eb/Deposit-Rates-18052019.aspx Krungsri has many branches around the country, their internet banking system is very good and I've always found their staff OK.

Are you sure that the Mee Tae Dai account can be opened by foreigners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes.....I did (I be a farang)....and many farangs on ThaiVisa have talked about their MTD accounts over the years. Krungsri is a good bank IMO.

It's a pretty basic savings account so why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
