Maybe your card expired. Set up auto debit from your bank account instead. Can do on phone.

New debit card and set up with wise and used 3 times.

Tried many times today uk bank said its wise, wise say contact bank.

 

This is last window message from wise online page, have'nt got a clue what they are on about.

Will see and try again later or get to make other arrangements.

You should probably check with your Thai bank and explain to them what you are planning to do and the reason of the transfer.

 

I think your bank in the US will possibly have issues that you should be able to resolve.  But when you plan to do this, it essentially needs to be an International Wire Transfer using SWIFT.

 

I expect the US Treasury/IRS will want some type of notification using FATCA and FBAR reporting.  Here is a site you may want to review for basic information.

Contacted my UK bank nothing wrong there they confirmed that WISE has not set up properly that is why they are locked out. 

How do you contact WISE other than questions and answers or robots.?

I had an issue with Wise / my UK bank over a missing transfer about 2 years back. The email I used to contact Wise was their Support email - [email protected] - this was before their name change so likely just delete the 'transfer' part of the email.

 

Eventually it turned out that the bank faster payments system had a glitch that caused the transfer to Wise not to be completed.

It took a week or more to be resolved as my UK bank were insistent that the transfer did go ahead and Wise, similarly, could not trace any receipt. After many calls to my UK bank they finally admitted the problem was at their end and I received compensation for their poor service on the matter. Wise were excellent in the way they clearly investigated the problem and reported back to me in good time.

Thanks i have spoken to my bank and they say wise hasn't completed something with some new Regs that have just come out,  and have told me there's no lock on my card as I can know  myself as they could see i used the same card to buy stuff from Lazada. 

There's no rush so will see what happens. ????

Not necessarily, depends what rate Thai bank offers and if rates are trending up or down

Simply mind boggling.....

You don't understand, not surprising, you get confused with Wise transfers
