I have said that several times in this and other threads. But the evidence has all been anecdotal. However I have now sent a clear message to Wise asking them to give us a definitive answer on this matter. I shall 'banner headline' it when I receive an answer from them.
I have also asked them why the 'transaction document' is now 3 pages long, providing the same information that 1 page used to. As if we don't already have enough paper to cart down to immigration. I'll need a wheelbarrow before too long!
All of my Wise transfers take place around 6:15 am, well before normal banking hours and at least 90% of them arrive instantly. And I've also just done one this morning and we all know it's a holiday. So yes, you can.
I've just had the same experience this morning. Funds into my Krungsri account in seconds. @proton reference your comment above. If you look back up to the post by @Ting Tawng you will see that he was the one who reported that his payment is delayed and he clearly says GBP (UK Bank). So I disagree with your comment about 'countries other than UK'.
I agree with @PPGuy that the reason for transfer than one chooses does influence the speed. It seems that those who choose 'funds for long term stay' in order to ensure a TFF code on their account, must wait until normal banking hours. And as we know it's holiday time here.
Could you please tell me what reason you gave for the transfer? There has been a lot of talk on the forum about this. Many say that if you choose 'funds for long term stay' it will slow down the transfer because it has to be 'hand managed'.
I never use this option and all my transfers have been instant, even during a local holiday.
Simple question guys. Does anyone know the definitive answer this.
A single guy with no contact with anyone in the UK, dies in Thailand. Who, if anyone lets his (former) pension providers know that he has done so?
The Rooster is NOT American, he's as English as a Cumberland sausage.
And please explain how a healthy individual going around mask free is putting 'others at risk'.
I'm up right there with you Rooster, get rid of those damn masks NOW!
