Money transfer restrctions
chang50 replied to Chelseafan's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
This is because Wise use the mid market rate which is significantly better than the rate you get with any bank SWIFT transfer.Perhaps much larger transfers could be cheaper with SWIFT as you only pay one set of fees and this could offset the inferior rate but for most of us transferring smallish sums Wise is cheaper. -

Just received an email reply from wise asking about limits on transfers to Thailand and the answer given is 2 million baht..so nothing about a new 50 thousand limit.I think there are just extra checks going on now.. -

Maybe we've seen the last of the 4 second transfers as they do additional checks? -

Yep hopefully wise will reply to my question about any changes later today.It's particularly worrying to me as I had planned to have my State Pension paid directly to wise soon when it's due. -

Come to think of it the transfer I did on Monday was delayed a couple of hours or so. -
Me too on AIS that's one less thing to worry about lol..
-
Well I've just emailed them to find out so I'll report back next week probably..
-
I did the same with the same result.A friend of mine can apparently access the app with his fingerprint but I have no idea how to set that up.

Thanks for the info.
-
Another hassle (sigh!) I'll probably install the HMRC app. later as I like to do semi regular checks all is ok.Luckily my last voluntary NI payment was showing last time I looked.
-
Thanks.
-
Thanks so not an AIS issue..
-
Beginning to doubt it is an AIS problem as my second number is receiving other messages so it looks like a HMRC issue.
-
Thanks..Hoping it is just an AIS issue
-
That's terrible tho' I'm not surprised I made a payment in July and it only showed up 2 weeks ago...Complete shambles.
-
Thanks so it's not just me then my phone is AIS also.

Hi guys Has anyone had problems recently signing into their UK HMRC personal tax accounts online using government gateway?I have tried twice today and not received an access code on both designated phone numbers either time and the messages sent to me by email when I reported this are clear as mud.Maybe I need to use the Verify method but I am unsure where to start.Any advice would be appreciated.

PayPal is cancelling personal accounts in Thailand from next year
chang50 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So if as suggested this is all about cracking down on people working online illegally in Thailand and after paypal the spotlight moves to wise and other money transfer vehicles why stop there and not include all banks globally?After all you can have clients pay renumeration into any account you hold anywhere surely? -

You have a wise borderless account and send it to your thai bank account..sometimes it arrives in 4 seconds. -

chang50 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
All these changes do is make life difficult for people doing nothing wrong.People working illegally are already one step ahead.I am a retiree who has a pension paid onto a wise borderless account which is very convenient and I was planning to do the same with my state pension due next year.Now everything is up in the air! -

You're not kidding...just think about all those whose retirement extensions are based on 65k monthly income..not to mention those who have pensions paid into borderless accounts.Total havoc.
