How much credence do you give to reviews
Stocky replied to poppysdad's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
The information is there so I make use of it, silly not to, but I'm mindful of fake reviews and the possibility some may be malicious. With Lazada I'm wary of suppliers that have no data, and will opt for one that has and ships on time and is well rated. But if I need something and there is no other option, depending on price and availability of COD I will take the risk. -

ManUre didn't beat the Villa, the Villa lost to ManUre. I hope the Villa make better use of their opportunities in front of goal on Saturday. UTV -

Sadly that's not the case if I use HSBC and SWIFT from Singapore, any intermediary bank charges pop up after the event. It's the total transparency I have with Wise that is the biggest appeal, yes I usually save a few thousand baht on a transfer, but it's knowing exactly how much will be credited to my account is the biggest plus. That said, Wise and similar P2P money transfer companies are making the established banks sit up and take notice. HSBC now have a Global Money Transfers app, which they say is 'largely' fee free - the small print still says there may be intermediary bank charges, and their rates aren't as good, but it's certainly a move in the right direction. Bank on topic, has the OP considered Monzo, which is a registered UK bank which Wise isn't. But for international transfers Monzo used Wise, so win win. Downside is you need a UK address, with proof in the form of a utility or council tax bill. .

I'm on NordVPN current Windows software version 6.41.11.0 which it tells me is the latest version. I can't say I've had any problems with them and I've been using Nord for 5 years now. Everything works fine including UK TV - BBC, ITV, and C4.

So your comparison is applicable to USA. The numbers work out differently if I look at my transfers from the UK or Singapore. Firstly there is no charge on domestic transfers in the UK or Singapore, secondly the exchange rate margins on SGD to THB and to a lesser extent GBP to THB are greater than for USD to THB, there being greater movement of USD. Lastly there is usually an intermediary bank involved with SWIFT transfers which add their own charges. People deciding whether to use Wise or SWIFT need to do their own homework.

Swedish family celebrated New Year in isolation in Thailand

Well bully for you! But I don't think Mexico has any Covid travel restrictions, testing or quarantine requirements, unlike Thailand. -
