Can still transfer via Bangkok Bank NY branch?
The last time I checked with BKKB, the original method of doing domestic ACH transfers from a U.S. bank account to the BKKB NY Branch and then onward to BKK TH NO LONGER functions. However, what WAS still functioning last time I checked was the ability to send a DOMESTIC wire transfer from your US financial account to BKKB NY and then onward to BKKB TH. When you send the domestic wire, you use the routing number for the BKKB NY branch and then the account number for your recipient BKKB TH account. BKKB NY and BKKB TH both charge some relatively small fees for handling the transaction. There's also the fee by your US FI for sending a domestic wire, which can vary greatly by institution. But these days, a lot of FI's offer some number of free domestic wires or very low cost domestic wires.... whereas intl wires tend to be much more expensive. A person still could do a international wire direct from their U.S. FI to their BKKB TH account, But the intl wire fee from the U.S. FI is likely to be a whole lot more expensive than the alternative of doing a domestic wire to BKKB NY and then onward to BKKB TH. And a lot of U.S. FI's, especially retail banks, don't make it especially easy to send intl wires when you're not there in person and want to do it only online. BKKB NY in the past has been reachable by phone at their office there. So anyone needing to pursue this would be best to contact them and confirm what's currently available in terms of the details of routing of funds from NY to TH. -

*Inauguration Day *- January 20, 2025
Unlikely. The EO merely clarifies the definition of "under the jurisdiction thereof" which is the exact wording for citizenship in the Constitution, and it does so in a way consistent with how every other country in the world interprets it. It will be a very difficult legal argument to make. But we'll see. In the meantime, it's a time for celebration. -
