Stubby Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hi, Forum. Does anyone know the Bank Code for the Bangkok Bank? It’s a required field in a money transfer form, but it's separate from the SWIFT code. I have searched online, but I can only find reference to the SWIFT code. There’s still a field for that, but it’s no longer enough, apparently. If I don’t hear back by tomorrow, I’ll pop in and ask at one of the local branches. I’ll then post an update here just in case anyone else is needs it in the future. Thanks, in advance, Stubby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hmm, I've only ever been asked for the SWIFT code - it's BKKBTHBK, you should definitely not need any other routing code! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 If you are talking IBAN that is not used here. The name of bank, address and account number and perhaps SWIFT code should be all that is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a field for it, Simon, and it's mandatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matzzon Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hey, I assume you wish to have the possibility for other banks to locate a specific Bangkok Bank Branch in Thailand Attached is a dokument with all branches and you will need to combine the numbers in section 1 and 2 for people in the business to be able to translate it to a specific branch. If it´s not those numbers you are looking for, then you are probably metioning an International transfer, and the sending bank is asking for an IBAN. That is a common mistake they do, and they just have to be teached they are wrong, and that Thailand do not use IBAN. In that case it´s the swift code: BKKBTHBK Bank Code - All Branches.xlsx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a message to say it's to do with new banking regulations. It was the same a couple of months back with the UK mobile-only phone number. I can't even do online transactions now without entering a code sent via SMS to a UK mobile. I might be wrong, but my guess is that online banking is in the process of adding extra security measures, at least in the UK or Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See attached. Note that the branch address (which isn't mine) auto-fills after entering the SWIFT Code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they only ask for 3 digits then it will suffice with 002, as the branch is autofilled. Actually my online bank also auotfill that adress, but they never ask for the code. That is because the swift code is originating from the head office, and all international fund transfers are received and administered to the right accounts from that office. As I see it, all will be correct with only 002. Of course, I can not guarantee. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make life so much simpler lol ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The first three digits of a Bangkok Bank account number is the branch code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's useful to know, thanks, LopBuri3 ???? I've just been through my bank book and there's no reference to a Bank Code in there, though. It must be an insignificant number - until now.

Stubby Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Howdy, folks. OK, I've been informed that the Bank Code for the Bangkok Bank is indeed 002. Actually, the advice was to try it as it should be okay. We'll see ???? Thanks for all the input yesterday, it was much appreciated ????
