Guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 You want to give your TG an ATM card that gives access to your bank account??? :: :: :: :: :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-ride Posted October 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Jai-dee: great but I dont have an address in Thailand otherwise the services offered are quite interesting Emmit: Obviously not, read carefully please I want 2 separate bank accounts under MY name with an ATM card on each of them. One account will be used only by me with a fair amount of money on it that I will use during my trips there AND I will transfer some money every month from this account to the 2nd one (for the tgf).

dean Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Why don't you just get a saving account with an ATM card in your own country and give that card to her? It works well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-ride Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Probably because it is too simple I didnt even think I could do it... That said, each time I withdraw some money in Thailand with my current ATM card the additional charges are quite high so I will keep that idea as last option.

Guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 You might want to take a look at Visabuxx: https://usbank.visabuxx.com/index.cfm? You put money on the card with your credit card. She can take it out immediately in Thailand. There are some limits. It's designed to regulate the spending of a teenager. It's also a debit card.

iuytrede Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 "Why don't you just get a saving account with an ATM card in your own country and give that card to her?" First, for most cards there are charges, and they are typically not a percentage of the amount withdrawn, but there is a minimum charge, often about 150 B per withdrawal. It doesn't make sense to withdraw 300 or 500 B if you have to pay this kind of charges, but several hundred Baht is the amount a TG would normally withdraw. I would not recommend my GF to withdraw 20000 B every time to save charges. Second, with an ATM card from your home country it can be possible to withdraw money even if the account is empty. It may not be much (maybe 1000 but I am sure your TG would learn this very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuytrede Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Visabuxx is not available everywhere in Europe. Not sure about Belgium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Actually, its not my girlfriend but a woman in Chiang Mai that I buy furniture and handicrafts from. She does take out 20,000 baht at a time and the charge is $1.50 per transaction. She receives a print out on each transaction and on it is the amount remaining in the savings account. This has only been since August but I haven't had any problems yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi joe, Yes it is. You can make automated regular payments weekly too. I use internet banking with Bangkok Bank and it works very well.
