shortstop2 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I need a medallion signature guarantee so that I can wire money from my Fidelity account to a bank in Thailand. Googling around, I came across these two branches: JP Morgan Chase Bank 20 North Sathorn Road, Bubhajit Building100 Bangkok 10500 Tel: 662-684-2805 Citibank NA 399 Interchange 21 Building Sukhumvit Road Klongtoey Nua, Wattana, Bangkok 10110 Tel: 662-232-2484 Has anyone dealt with these branches? Anyone know if they will provide a medallion signature guarantee for me? I guess I could open an account with them if that was what was required to get the medallion signature guarantee.

mtls2005 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Topic has come up here at least a few times so a search might yield some insight. I don't recall a lot of success, but maybe things have changed? I was able to create standing wire transfer orders at Fidelity ( for SCB and BBL ) in person, at a branch so no need for the medallion thingy, during a visit to the U.S. All that said, I'd just use Wise. Just as fast, can be done on-line so no need for a call to Fidelity, and yields only slightly fewer baht (Fidelity does not charge any international wire transfer fees). Do you have another bank/account in the U.S.? It may be easier to Wise from that, and Fidelity offers free domestic ACHs to that account; can be done online. I've Wise'd from BofA to BBL successfully. Never tried from Fidelity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimUp Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Hi shortstop2, did you find a medallion service in Thailand or how did you take care of this issue? I have now the same issue to deal with. Thank, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
