I've got the Bkk Bank 'Be1st valued member' card with the Visa logo on it.

Can't order anything from the UK with it, but ofc works with Thai sites.

Does anyone have an explanation why I can't use it on uk sites?

I thought that the 'Visa' was accepted worldwide.....

You might have to sign up for the Verified by Visa scheme first. My Bangkok Bank card works for any online purchase regardless of country.Well the old one did , hope the new one I get does to.https://www.visa.co.uk/products/protect ... d-by-visa/

So You Cannot use it to buy anything ONLINE !!......I Had one the same & Absolutely NO Use ONLINE...

Not correct, my old one didn't have my name on but when using the verified by visa scheme you just fill in the name used on your account where it asks for name on card .Worked for me before , hopefully still will when I get the new one.

Some vendors do not accept debit cards.

Premium Outlet stores in Phuket. Hua Hin and Udon. Dont accept BKK Bank Visa Credit cards. Nov last year.

Staff say the companies had a fallout over charges. Just AIS did with 7-11

If that happens a way round it is to register your card with PayPal and use them to pay the supplier.Think that will get round it .

To be honest I wasn't in any rush to replace the Bangkok Bank Visa Debit card eaten be an ATM the other week but today decided to sort it. Every branch we popped into on our travels said a replacement Visa Debit could be issued but we had to go to the branch we originally opened the account, Big C. I suspect telling us this was just an easy way to deal with a customer standing in front of them as when we trekked to Big C we were told no can do. We said we'd close the account as a way to try & spur a change of decision as it's been noted here previously that a Visa Debit could still be issued, but were told okay then let's close it so that's what we did. It really doesn't make the blindest bit of difference to us which bank we use, although I do like the Bangkok Bank mobile app, but hey ho, never mind, maybe Union Pay will become as freely accepted as Visa & MasterCard in the future

I have a Bangkok visa debit card issued this week , will it be possible to use at a
cash machine in the Uk . I asked in The Bank but received a muddled answer .
Or is any Brit expat used his Bangkok debit card in the Uk .

I used my Bangkok Bank Visa Debit once in an ATM in the uk. No problem then, just same as using a uk card except with the addition of an overseas transaction fee

Well picked up my new debit card with Visa on this morning, works a treat, first registered it with Pay Pal, then with Skype and also bought some vitamins from my UK supplier all no problems, going to top up my phones next, the're on the verified by Visa scheme .Withdrew from Atm as well .Life should always be this easy.

It's clearly down to the individuals descretion in different branches whether they'll issue Visa Debit cards

trubrit verified visa scheme ? what is that ? do I have to register some place before I use my debit card
for transactions .Thanks Niggglyb good to know I can use it in the Uk.

verified visa scheme

It is an Internet system generated by Visa (rather than a specific Bank).
You usually register for it via the Bank that issued the card though - but through their Internet site, in my experiences..
You generate a new & independent of any other password (I believe it should be 8 characters long).
When you attempt to purchase anything on line from a Supplier a new screen will appear. This is from Visa & asked you to enter 3 of the specifically requested digits from your Password. (1, 4 & 7 for example).
Only once that verification has been approved can the card be accepted by the supplier of the goods,

The system is a bit AI & after you have used it for a time small purchases will often be approved with a quick "Verification is not necessary" 'flash screen' that requires no card members' input...

RE:Visa cards.Had an appointment with the manager of Udon Bangkok Bank yesterday, during our discussion he noticed my Visa debit card and promptly informed me as far as BB are concerned Visa is finished, no more cards with the Visa logo will be issued by them. Those currently held by customers will be honoured until there expiry date but will not be replaced, only by cards issued by the Chinese owned Union Pay. This also goes if you lose your Visa card you will get the chinese one . So hang on to the one you've got.It's ireplaceable.
On an associated note, users of the 1333 phone service are not able to check balance on line as the Visa card number is not recognised .My experience anyway, forgot to ask him about it .

Big red flag.
Where was the ATM?
That is one of the possible indications of a skimmer on the ATM

This is still on their website.

I am not arguing that you were denied but I reckon there's a distinct lack of clarity from BB on what is still available. By the same token, there's a whole lot of websites that aren't kept current in LOS. I have the Be1st VISA debit and I get the prompts at the ATM that it needs to be replaced. My home branch is in Pattaya so it is on my to-do list when I pop down next month.

I can virtually guarantee that you will not get a Visa debt card if you replace your current one.

FWIW by BB ATM card is so old it is just an ATM card and nothing else and it doesn't expire.

We are returning to Udon early November for 6 months When we left in May we were issued a Union Pay Card and only a few places accepted.
Has the situation got better eg Will Tesco now accept ?
