November 9, 20214 yr Popular Post I have two SCB accounts, one with my wife and one for my annual extension. I have been able to link both accounts using the SCBeasy app. That makes it handy for transferring money from one account to another. Recently, SCB has advertised international transfers using their app for a set price of 88 Baht. Although I haven't had the need to transfer money from Thailand to the US, I like to have as many financial options as possible as an expat. I tested out the international transfer part of the app yesterday at 11 AM : Sent 2000 Baht to my US Credit Union (using their routing number). Within a few minutes, I received an SMS from SCB saying the transfer was in process at the rate of 33.25 Baht. This morning, 2000.70 Baht was deducted from my account along with 88 Baht (transfer fee). My credit union account showed $60.17 deposited. I only transferred $60 to test things out. Last year we went to the US for a 6 week vacation......we ended up in the US for 13 months due to the covid situation. While there, I did use my SCB ATM card one time just for grins. It worked fine......but having this new app feature would end up a lot cheaper than using the SCB ATM in the US.
