Chivas Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 In light of ongoing queries over the time it takes and considering its a Saturday thought I'd wallop over some Sterling to top up the account slightly Royal Bank of Scotland to Wise at which point clicked on the icon "I've sent my money" Logged into SCB (am guessing 10 seconds or so) and money as always its there instantly. I swear to God I do not know what some of you are doing to get delay after delay Reason for transfer "sending to family" as always not that it makes the slightest bit of difference what you put as its purely audit control in case of any future financial investigation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KannikaP Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Unless you need the transfer to show as an International Transfer for Immigration/Extension purposes. Then you click the long term stay in Thailand, and it usually takes one day extra to get to your Thai bank. So plan ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but selecting either of those reasons for transfer won't change transfer speed unlike with Bangkok Bank 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did two transfers last week, one with Family reason and the other Long Term Stay. The first was immediate, the second a day later. Try it yourself. I've been a Wise customer for years. (pun intended) For quite a long time I was curious as to how many forum posters were reporting 'instant transfers' whilst I continued to have to wait 4 to 6 hours for mine. I asked several times on the forum but no one ever came up with a definitive answer. For as long as the 'long stay' option was available, I've used it, not because I need this FFT thing (I use Krungrsi Bank, so I'd never get them anyway) but simply because it was the correct answer. Then one day, about 5 or 6 months ago, I decided to switch reasons and chose the 'daily living expenses' option (also a correct answer) instead. Bingo! I got my first instant transfer and it's been that way way ever since, even on public holidays. So I'm with KannikaP on this one. I believe it does make a difference which option you choose. A 'long term stay' option obviously has to 'steered' in order to go down the right channel to ensure that the recipient gets his coveted FFT. Common or garden users like me and Civas can go straight down the main line and get our money instantly. I'm not going into a debate on this. It's a topic that's been 'done to death' now. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB will not issue credit advice for this transaction as they receive it from an intermediary ( BKB, KBank, Deemony) as a local transfer. For proof of international transfer must obtain credit advice/ receipt from the intermediary involved Edited May 21, 2022 by norbra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmbkk Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 A little off-topic but still to do with Wise - but the Wise ATM card use. In the UK we transferred cash to our Wise account. My missus when to the ATM in Bangkok to test a withdrawal with the WISE ATM card. It came up with a transaction charge of 220( she was only withdrawing 100 baht to test ), is this correct and expected? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soi3eddie Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I use Wise to send from GBP to THB to my Kbank. Always use the "funds for long term stay" option. Usually if in banking hours in UK and TH then it's instant. Occasionally over the last couple of years it would take 1-2 days. As I don't need the FTT certificate I'll try another reason such as "daily living expenses". Thanks for the tip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the four or so years I have been using Wise transfers to Bkk Bank, and putting the long stay option as I need it to show as a Foreign Transfer (FTT at Bkk Bank), it has NEVER been instant, always 2pm the same day if started before 6am, or 2pm the following day if after that. Do the banks computers go to sleep outside UK & Thai banking hours? 555 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryokans Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 If I send around 3-6 thousand usd to my Thai Bank Account everyday using Wise. Could this create any problems for myself? I'm not doing anything illegal btw. But I'm just wondering if it might raise some eyebrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hammer2021 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Wise problem Sunday 33k baht at approx 5 30 pm delivered in seconds to my Krungsri account BUT MONDAY approx 5 15pm 33k baht sent but Not arrived in my account. Why not? Have I broken a 24 hour rule for over 50k? Sunday used long term stay as reason for money but not sure I did for the second tranche on Monday though I meant to.. So tired of Wise inconsistencies, poor support - rude actually Is there a better way? Revolut bank? Edited May 24, 2022 by The Hammer2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
