OJAS Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 On 2/21/2022 at 11:01 PM, cliveshep said: I can confirm that when transferring a small amount today (3 seconds) there was a line stating there is a maximum of 200,000 baht daily transfer. I think it is nothing to do with Wise but is something Prayut's mates dreamed up. I've just tried to initiate a repeat transfer of one of those which yielded around 220k to my Bangkok Bank account, but wasn't presented with any message informing me of a 200k daily limit now like you and @auntyedna were. I did, however, stop after (re-)entering the purpose of my transfer and before being invited to confirm and continue. If there were any mileage in such a daily limit, though, I doubt whether it would have been something which Prayut and his henchmen would have instigated themselves off their own bat. Far more likely, I would have thought, that they would have simply caved in to pressure from Thai banks - who, if I understand the position correctly, make nothing out of Wise transfers themselves.

LarrySR Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Did my first WISE transfer last October to Krungsri Bank from the USA, $200USD and it went thru in 5 minutes. In January I transferred $30,000USD and there was a delay. WISE needed to see my passport, a selfie photo with me and the passport and proof of my Thai address (envelope addressed to me like electric bill etc). The transfer took around 5 days. Now it seems there is a limit of 50,000Bt if its going to my Krungsri Bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just open a SCB, BBL or KSK account and you can send more. https://wise.com/help/articles/2932335/guide-to-thb-transfers Quote Please note that you’ll only be able to send 50,000 THB or above per transfer to the following banks starting from 7 January 2022 due to regulatory changes: Bangkok Bank Public Company Kasikorn Bank Siam Commercial Bank You can still send money to recipient accounts that use other banks, but you’ll only be allowed to send them up to 49,999 THB per transfer.

Have had that happen many times over the years but normally only a few hours or couple days at most. As I fund by ACH suspected it was a delay receiving funds but guess could also be low funds in payment account here in Thailand also - especially at end of month payday time.

cliveshep Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I earlier referred to a line I'd seen restricting payment transfers to not exceed 200,000 baht a day. That was totally wrong and I apologise. The restriction is actually 50,000 and refers to smaller banks but excluding Kasikorn, Bangkok and Siam Commercial where it's business as usual. Apologies for that erroneous statement. Can't find where I read it anyway! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be glad to reciprocate by posting my third-party corroboration here right afterward...... ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
