would appreciate feedback on the following
Have accounts at BkBk, current account as Baht currency and also have USD currency account both with online banking, I needed to transfer OUTside Thailand USD currency, accessed my online USD currency account and much to my surprise CAN NOT transfer USD out, thus went my branch and asked why can not do wire transfer in USD as I have the money sitting on my account, answer, you can transfer USD to your BAHT account and then from Baht account transfer to OUTSide in the currency you want or you can do it at the counter and the charge is 1,500 Baht per transaction.
Meaning I transfer/sell USD to my Bath account and then use the same Baht account to buy back my USD and can transfer out to any country you want. Requested to see manager on site, and the lady provided same answer as the counter person, I asked her why should I have to buy USD since I already have USD she couldn't provide logical convincing answer.
Anybody knows a away around this or is it the common / standard way with other banks as well as I thought my USD were mine and could do with them as I pleased, it appears that's not the case, the USD belong to Bangkok Bank and I can not do what I want
