  1. I have all of it, but I believe I believe the sending bank also requires the address of the branch where the account was opened, or just the address of the "headquarters" in Bangkok? Unfortunately, I don't remember. The rest of the information is fine: SWIFT code, account holder's name, and account number.
  2. Have any of you ever transferred money from your home country to Thailand from your bank (a standard bank-to-bank transfer without using Wise or other similar systems) to a Thai account opened online? Thanks.
  3. Who eventually skimmed my card. Once the deposit from abroad is in my account, they can take is as I do all the time. I check the balance twice a day from the ATM. I am out of the city for the holiday and check the ATM is the only way. I saw my balance always at 93 THB so I suppose it's still safe as, any deposit from abroad, will change that number. Never saw one. I have proof that the transfer was processed on December 18th.
  4. In my paranoia always cover the keyboard and clean it with full hand while done. This delay make me crazy.
  5. I am sorry, I don't understand: once the deposit from overseas is in my account, they can take it as I do, right? The money was sent on 18, I don't know if before or after cut off time. But, anyway, took always 1/2 days (no more) to reach my account. Never have problems from 2006, hope this is not the first time.
  6. I mean: normally the deposit from abroad came in in 1/2 days. But now still nothing after 6 days. Even if my balance didn't change, I am scared of this "skimming" machine. I always try to use only ATMs inside department stores, but sometimes I don't. Rarely but I don't
  7. I always do but sometimes I use also the one outside.
  8. I don't know anyone got skimmed: just I find it strange that it takes so long when, in the past 5 months, every time it took just 1/2 days. Imagine that: I don't smoke and drink. Imagine if I do😁
  9. That's impossible: I started to send me the money 5/6 months already and, every month, took 1 or 2 days to show in my account. Maybe, maybe just the first deposit took a little longer as the bank need to verify. But after that, no more than 1 or 2 days.
  10. I don't want to use the app. Bad experience with it in the past
  11. I'm so paranoid about my card being skimmed at an ATM that I'm having a terrible Christmas, not just for me, but for everyone around me as well. What I wrote today may seem absurd, but the paranoia, being in the middle of nowhere, and waiting for money that never arrives have amplified this fear. First of all, I apologize to everyone, but I would like to know if the risk of card skimming is really that high. Thank you 🙏
  12. But if I have 93 THB and will get (for example) 59,111 also the digit in the back will change. Or not?
  13. A swift transfer from Italy to my bank. Sent in Euro and arrives in THB. I just called the bank in Italy and the money started last 18 December.
  14. Because, in this account where the transfer should arrive, I have only 93 THB.
