MadMuhammad Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Over half a mil AUD transferred in the last 4 years with no issues whatsoever. I managed to send $80K to the wrong bank once and it bounced back a day later, I sent it to the right bank obvs. Great service in my experience 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvdf Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Tried to register for an account as I have an IBAN account in Germany. It's asking me to provide a German phone number which I no longer have. This same requirement applies to PayPal which I was hoping to link to my German bank account and credit cards. Is there a way to bypass this requirement? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutoie2 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I'm in dispute with them regarding a transfer from Nationwide BS in UK. It's still be investigated by both parties. It was only £20 as it was a trial transfer. Despite the love in here from bods, I don't trust them. Two UK pensions now sent to Bangkok Bank. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwest5829 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Ironically, just opened this posting just after ordering my June monthly transfer via Wise. I have used them close to a decade after my U.S. investment company could not make direct deposits in Bangkok Bank’s NYC Branch. Now I have Wise deduct $2200 directly from my U.S. bank account and it will be deposited on Monday into my Bangkok Bank here in Thailand. Wise states the amount of transfer being limited if large to a handful of Thai banks. Not an issue for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohyesuare Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Yes it works well and can also login with face recognition on the newer smart phones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grusa Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Works perfectly for me on my Huawei android, accepts biometric login and is a "trusted device". I suggest you use a VPN when you set it up, not necessary once you are registered unless you are paranoid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not get a Wise Borderless Account, and debit card, so you can transfer as and when you want to, in almost any currency.

I have used it in UK, Dubai, Italy & Thailand. And if there is not enough of a particular currency in your account, an automatic transfer takes place. Brilliant. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilly07 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Am on True Move with an Oppo phone. Only problem I have is that the in app link to NatWest hasn't worked for the last 2 mths. Wise blame NatWest and NatWest blame Wise. Annoying to have to come out of Wise app to access NatWest to make payment. Otherwise works fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why not go into your banking app first, transfer money to Wise, then do the transfer to wherever you want. Or use WiFi instead of Mobile Data.

So really the benefit is that whilst travelling to various countries where you do not have a bank account and would normally have to use your country of residence debit card and incur charges , you use the Wise card ? What are their transaction charges , same as their normal charges ? Do they pay interest on funds in their Borderless account ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still classed as a 'foreign' debit card over here, so probably get the Bht 220 added on. I do not use it over here as I do a monthly transfer to my Bkk Bank for IO reasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this works universally, but what I do is I have a skype telephone number which is for my home city in the USA, and I have that telephone number set up to forward all calls to my Thai phone. So, anybody calling or texting my local (skype) phone number reaches me here in Thailand and they have no idea where I actually am. Works great, hope it can work for you outside of the US. Skype number is quite cheap, around $56 a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
