Its Called Fuck the Farang

[kjun12]

I recently went to my Bank to open a second account. Bangkok Bank refused my request because I don’t have a work permit. When I opened my first account I had no problem and no work permit was requested. When I asked why I need a work permit to open an account they would only say that this is the rule. When I continued to pressure the bank people they finally consented to open the account because I own a condo. This was not offered until I continued to demand that I be told why and when this rule came into play.

Today, I wanted to add the second account to my online banking but they told me I could only have one account in online banking. Upon asking why I was told it is because I am a foreigner.

This whole scenario is just more of the Fuck the Farang policy of Thailand.

Bangkok Bank is not the only bank in Thailand! Why not take your business elsewhere?

I believe that Bangkok Bank is more strict than some others.

If you want problems like this you only have to move to the Kasikorn Bank!

Other accounts in your name can be added to your online banking. You need to do it yourself, from within the webpage.

Mr. Despicable speaks up or down. And, he is usually very down and out.

Perhaps you are trying to add a fixed account. That cannot be done, by you or the branch.

Unless something as changed very recently at Bangkok Bank, I have 3 accounts linked to online banking, one regular savings, one fixed savings, and a foreign currency account. The branch had to add the foreign currency account as they are handled by BB’s main office on Silom. The fixed savings I added myself. I have no work permit, and do not own real estate. Only requirement was a residence certificate. Perhaps this is a local branch incident.
