Transferwise news

[wgdanson]

Did my 65k on Monday via Transferwise arriving Tuesday at 2.15 pm as usual, Bkk Bank FTT. Then saw that the GBP had gone up against the THB. So wondered if I could load up my Borderless Account with THB when the rate is good, but then send it when I need to, beginning of next month. Would it arrive as an FTT. Transferwise suggested I try a small amount, so I just did Bht 1000 this morning, arrived just now as FTT. The charge was Bht 80, which is 8%, but I think that would be a similar sum doing more money. Will keep you all informed.

Yeah I don't send large money normally they charge by amount I guess not checked yet but too late anyhow, my UK bank last time charged a flat £25 for any amount.

£56 on TW must have meant you sent close to £11,000 ??

And that will only count as one month over 65k.
