Bangkok Bank NY Acct Name

[ouagadougou]

Hi,

 

A few years ago I had an issue trying to transfer money from BKK Bank NY office to Thailand using the ACH system because the name on the 2 accounts didn't perfectly match.  I'm going to open a new account and try it again.

 

Does anyone know if problems can still arise if account names are a little different? 

 

The middle names screw things up.  My US banks either skip the middle names, or only use one initial, whereas the overseas banks want to use the long long version as stated in passport.

 

Thanks for any insight

It has been my experience that unless the names match EXACTLY the transaction can't be completed.

Never experienced a problem even transferring from an account only in my name to a joint account. I transfer from USAA to my BBL frequently.

Never had a problem using BB NY.

 

When you fill out transfer request the name you write for receiving account should match name on actual account.  If your bank is not following your instruction you need to have a talk with someone  at your US bank.
