connda Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I keep hearing stories about how long this person or that person is having receiving a international transfer using WISE. And I have some myself. Yesterday smoked it. Less then 5 minutes for the transfer to arrive at my SCB account. I'm impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CharlieH Posted June 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2022 Personally, if you are that concerned about the speed to that degree of minutes or seconds etc and it causes you anxiety if it goes beyond that, then its either really poor planning, or living on a knife edge financially. 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LomSak27 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Transactions from the US are taking seconds these days, just like all those breathless reports from the UK or OZ over the years. Been doing so for over half a year. Someone explained; as the DHS transactions from US, are the low cost option it takes longer. Sounded good, but now that DHS have been under a minute, literally seconds, not the 8, 24, 48 hours that transactions from the US once took, might have been something else. Whatever the reason, it is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was doing more or less the same as you except that I was starting the transaction a little earlier, usually around 07:30 Thai time and always using 'funds for long term stay in Thailand' and I was getting the same result as you. Then around 6 months ago, following something I read right here on the forum, I switched to using 'Monthly Living Expenses' (or words to that affect) and that was the day I received my first instant transfer into my Krungrsi account. And it's been that way ever since. My conclusion is, that unless you need to use it to get an FTT code in your passbook, stay away from 'Funds for long term stay in Thailand'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardColeman Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Sent £1400 from UK Friday , my UK bank to BKK bank, wont be there until Monday - so three days. Problem I am having is the new going to your bank net to authorise it. I am waiting on spinning 'we are doing a quick check' screen until the site times out. Having to send visa my debit card, rather than my bank account and losing £4 more a month.

Theoretically if you tf on Fri and receive on mon it is 1 working day. "Technology is a making my life more hard, not more easy" ...and more invasive.

I don't know where himmel is from so don't know his banking procedures, but for the UK (and I believe the EU) bank to Wise transfers are almost instantaneous in nearly all cases. Where are from that induces delays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
