Alternative to Argenta if you live in Thailand?
Belgians and Dutch nationals who officially live in Thailand and have a bank account with Argenta will lose them as of 1 September. as Who knows banks that do accept an account even if you live in Thailand outside the so-called SEPA zone?
Bank account in Belgium closed by Argenta
Are there still people whose bank account in Belgium has been closed by Argenta? I previously saw a post where other banks also closed the account with Belgians and Dutch people.
In response to the previous topic about the “closing of accounts by Argenta”, I am taking the liberty of asking questions so that we can still look for a solution to this problem that many Belgian readers are facing.
There are a number of reports that the Belgian bank Argenta wants to close the accounts of Belgians who have permanently moved to Thailand. To date I have not received any communication from my bank.
Reader question: Alternative to the Argenta bank?
I have been living in Korat for 7 years, I come from Belgium. I use Argenta bank for my transfers from Belgium to Thailand. I was very satisfied with that. I have now received a message that Argenta will stop non-sepa transfers from 1 October 2020.
Reader question: Which Belgian can bring a card reader for me?
Is there a Belgian among the Thailand blog readers who will soon return to Belgium or perhaps soon return from Belgium to Thailand and want to do me a favor? I have been living here in Bangkok continuously for 7 years and I regularly use internet banking. For this I have a card reader from ARGENTA in Belgium. But after about 7 years the battery has given up the ghost. And it is not possible to open it to replace the battery.
I am Belgian and I regularly transfer money to a Thai account. This is done free of charge via Argenta. The disadvantage is that you always have to go to the bank with an original form. Is there no possibility to transfer money via internet banking?
