warning for Nationwide Flex account holders

[gogo dog]

Do not use Siam Commercial Bank ATM's, they have now started charging B20 for each withdrawal.

Thanks for info,i just re registered cause i forgot my memorable info this morning,hmm think i may take t.cs aswell as card .

[basslick]

I have a nationwide flex account which i only use for abroard. Is it just siam bank atm machines. They all havent started charging have they?

[JASONTHAI]

Cheers Gogo dog for the info just looked at my bank statement and agree they charge 20 baht, but I used my card at other banks and did not get charged 20 baht so it looks like it's only this bank

[dirtdiver]

Yeah I can confirm this Siam Bank charges you 20 baht per withdrawal on credit/debit cards, no one else does.

At the time i was furious about this but then I was well pissed (inebriated)! The atm machine is harder than it looks.

[Khunsingha]

We are talking about 20 baht right? I give 1,5 k or 2 k baht for girls everyday not talk about the costs

for booze. If would be concerned about 20 baht I would stay at home. WTF.

[gogo dog]

Its only Siam Commercial Bank that's charging the B20, they started charging sometime in the last 3 months. The cheeky cunts don't even tell you there is a charge before you withdraw the money.

If I have Master cart from Siam Commercial Bank ..... did I still pay 20 bt. ? ...

Hence why you should always phone up your bank before you leave and tell them this

Nationwide always say no need to tell them when you go abroad.

 

I have 2 flex accounts so if one gets lost/blocked stillhave a second option

 

Tops on Central rd has 2 atms one charged one didnt

I can't believe that some of you Cheap Charlies are debating/arguing over 20b!!!

 

For Fuck's Sake! - How much did you spend on your flight?

 

I recall many years ago a good friend of mine losing the plot with a taxi-driver at Malaga airport late at night. When I asked him what the problem was he said we we were going to be ripped off because the advertised taxi fare to Malaga city centre was 200 pesetas & this driver was quoting 220 pesetas.

 

I politely reminded my friend how much we had pissed away in Malaga airport bar, & that 20 pesestas was about 18p; plus if he pisse off the few remaining taxi drivers in the taxi rank we would be stuck in the airport.

 

Bottom-line is this - if the ATM dispenses your cash - then WTF is 20b for doing so? I don't "count " petty cash / coins as part of my spending money - it's loose change to dispense with...

 

BTW - I regularly give/buy the crap the girls sell, like these glow bracelets, at 20b a throw - I know it's a rip-off & I feel uncomfortable about girls of 10-12 wondering around the outdoor bars in Soi Diana late at night. But on my travels elsewhere I've witnessed girls (& boys) of a similar age begging on the street... selling flowers & (apparantly) turning tricks on motorways... Sorry, gone off subject - but 20b!!! Fucks sake Bank of Scotland & Halifax / HBos down the pan in one day & some folk are arguing about 20b!!!!!

 

You're on holiday - accept it, or stay at home...

25 withdrawls at 20 baht a go means one less beach road shag. every baht counts hahaha

[som nam na]

It's not the money it's the principle .........

[Ape1983]

Ive been in Thailand for a year and half and have been using a Royal Bank of Scotland current acccount to withdraw cash. Every time I take out 2000 baht I get charged approx 15 quid. Turns out Ive been charged 2 grand all together..ouch Thats a lot of girls haha

 

Anyway I finaaly sorted myself out with a bank account with no charged.

They are the worst bank in the World. I totaly utterly hate everything about the Jock bastards!!

[phantom51red]

It is the principal,considering how much the banks make of the millions of us in interest ect ect ,if i can withdrawl cash for free then i will,it all adds up.
