Recently received a message from my ING Bank about the origin of assets, in connection with fraud and money laundering. Asked where my income came from, sent proof of SVB and my pension fund, this was done nicely.
Register ING and telephone number?
My ING scanner crashed and I have now requested a new one, but you cannot activate it without a telephone number. How is it possible that I can register a Thailand telephone number with ING?
I have now been living permanently in Thailand for a few months now. That works well, there is one thing that surprises me, that is the mail / correspondence that I have had with ING during the past few months. ING asks a number of questions that I have now answered, with the necessary insinuations and with the statement that if I do not answer, my ING account will be blocked. ING “must” ask these questions because of money laundering and illegal practices.
Thailand question: Add 2nd account holder to an ING bank account
According to the ING service desk/site, we must report to an ING branch to add a 2nd account holder.
After my emigration to Thailand, ING wants information about my payment account and re-identification?
When I emigrated to Thailand in September, I reported my change of address to ING, and I was also deregistered from the Netherlands. This week I received a message in my ING app that they wanted information about the use of my payment account. I have checked the message with ING and it is not phishing.
ING keeps asking questions, do I have to answer them?
My husband and I sold our apartment in the Netherlands and with the proceeds we buy a home in Thailand. The proceeds from the sale have been deposited into our bank accounts through the notary and from there to Thailand. In a first email, ING asked for the origin of assets and assets in Thailand.
Dear fellow bloggers, a lot has already been written about transferring money to Thailand. Usually it dealt with situations where Thai baht was received in Thailand. Therefore just a message about sending euros by a Dutch bank and receiving euros in Thailand. The latter, of course, in a euro account (FCD, foreign currency account) at a Thai bank. Just my experience over many years.
My monthly pension benefits are paid into my current account with ING Belgium. Until the end of December 2019, I neatly transferred these amounts every month to my savings account at the Kasikornbank. I have been transferring from Belgium to Thailand via Transferwise for a year now.
Problem with Transferwise
Until now, I have been feeding my 'monetary needs' in Thailand by transferring money from my ING account to my account at Bangkok Bank, and by carrying cash as a 'spare', to exchange at a convenient time .
Reader's submission: Information from ING about increased costs if you live outside the Netherlands
Dear editors, I received the information below from ING about costs if you live outside the Netherlands. Cleared my private data of course.
Reader submission: ING electronic banking part 2
I have already submitted something about electronic banking at ING, so this will be part II. I would also like to share this experience with you. Maybe I put it on or maybe I'm just unlucky every time or maybe just make something up!
Reader question: Problems logging in at ING
Log in ING Bank, this topic has been discussed before, but I can't find it again. I can no longer log in to ING, after password and password comes the message: YOU CANNOT CONTINUE. After that you can only contact ING in the Netherlands, nothing for Dutch nationals residing abroad.
Reader submission: World payment with ING and hidden costs
On September 1st I received a message from ING with the title World payments improved, but there is a big snake in the grass.
Speaking of banks
Recently there have been quite a few critical comments about Dutch banks on this blog. To put it mildly, the messages are often not very positive for the banking sector.
Reader submission: Experiences with ING
Have read a story about the ING bank and TAN codes on the blog, and here are some more ING experiences with this “international” bank.
ING Bank: Define Fiscal country of residence
A number of ING Bank account holders have received the above letter in response to an earlier letter to determine the country where the account holder would pay tax.
How can a Bank, rescued by the Dutch taxpayer, now let its customers in Thailand and in other countries so much in the lurch? Transferring and paying with Tancodes has been put an end to. Now that in itself is not so bad. Wasn't it that ING didn't have the new system up and running for everyone.
