Kbank branch SWIFT code

[samsensam]

 

hi,

 

just a quick one.

 

i have asked my Kbank branch for their SWIFT code to transfer in money, they gave me KASITHBK, omitting the branch identifier code - which i believe is optional?

 

do i need the branch identifier code or do all international transfers go to a main office and are allocated to the accounts from there?

 

thanks for any help

I've always just used  KASITHBK   they send it to

 

Beneficiary bank:
KASIKORNBANK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED
RAT BURANA MAIN BRANCH
27/1 RATBURANA RD.
BANGKOK
THAILAND

 

never any problem  appearing in my branch account ( which is not in Bangkok )

That is the case.

First three digits in the account number identify the branch.

No branch specific SWIFT code.
