HSBC

Hi guy. Despite the less than glowing reviews of HSBC bank on this forum back in May. I opened an Online Saving Account with HSBC. The HSBC Thailand online ATM locator totally does not work. Anyone know where a HSBC ATM is located in Pattaya?

I have NEVER seen an HSBC ATM anywhere in Thailand. That said, if your ATM card doesn't have the Cirrus symbol on it you better look for another ATM card. The Cirrus card works nearly everywhere.

Maybe HSBC has one or a few outside their BKK office, but as Gary said no reason to have own ATMs, banks charge eachotther for the ATM-service.

I've never seen an HSBC ATM in Pattaya either. My account is with Bangkok Bank but their ATM's seem to be few and far between in Pattaya so I tend to get charged 20 or 23 baht each time I use another bank's ATM. It's either that or take a baht bus to and from Bangkok Bank's nearest office - at a cost of 20 baht. I choose convenience!

The only HSBC machines I know of are inside HSBC bank in Lumpini. never seen one anywhere else in Thailand. Your HSBC card should work in virtually all other ATM's in Thailand, but when doing so you will pay a fee. For Brits the best option is to open a Nationwide flex account ...no ATM fees abroad.

I am with HSBC and use my card everywhere - no problem. I think all ATMs here take and HSBC card

Thank you all for your input. Saved me much searching around in vain. On my last trip I had difficulty getting cash from the ATM which is never fun. I appreciate you all taking the time to share your knowledge.

I had trouble in February with my Barclays ATM card. It took 2 expensive calls to the UK to find out there was a gang operating in LOS hitting them at ATM's. The banks seem to keep these incidences to themself. I had to give my security details for them to unlock my card.

 

Oh ye,s congrat's on having the longest name on the board.
