Where are from that induces delays? I am from the UK. I am making an 80,000 baht transfer to the Bangkok Bank. When using Wise i chose the transfer funds from my bank to Wise option. I made the request on Friday and they have given Monday as the day the funds will be in the Bangkok bank. I am in no rush as don't need the funds until October .

I am in no rush as don't need the funds until October . Screen Shot : From your UK bank to Wise took 2 minutes. The delay until Monday at just after 2:00pm is due to you selecting long stay in Thailand or house purchase as the reason for the transfer, or possibly just because it's over 50,000 baht. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. Yes, its for long stay. As I've said....not in any rush. As long as I get it by September no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned in my earlier posts, I stopped using it about 6 months ago and my transfers have been instantaneous ever since. There's some information on this Wise blog about transfer speeds that may be of interest to you. https://wise.com/gb/blog/mission-update-q1-2022-speed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But actually I agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuvoc Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 4 hours ago, treetops said: Over 50,000 baht which has cropped up a couple of times recently as potentially prompting a slower transfer irrespective of reason chosen. Yes correct. Under 50,000 baht and the transfer takes just seconds, any more than that and it is 3 days. So if I want to do 150,000 say I split it into three. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
