Shaunduhpostman Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I'm trying to open a Transferwise account and they need an initial deposit in US dollars from an account or card in my name in order to open a US dollar bank account. Bangkok Bank disallowed my attempt to do that with a card and I have called the central offices a few times and there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in making this happen via card. So, what i'm wondering is, has anyone had any success lately with making a small international wire transfer, like say 100 dollars via their Bangkok Bank branch? Or for larger amounts? Transferwise suggested that as the work around, but as I told them, I don;t think Bangkok Bank is going to do it. Its a long way for me to drive to my branch, so I thought I'd ask round on here and get a better idea of the possibility of doing this. So has anyone done this in the last year or so?

Oceanbroker Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I just sent wire transfer from Bangkok Bank Jomtien to the States for $1000. They charged me 1100 baht fee. Said it would take 3-5 business days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
