norfolkandchance Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Transferred money to Wise at 0800 this morning. Wise said the money would reach my Thai bank today. Just got this at 1030. Not impressed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverlomsak Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Normal for me ever since Thailand created the rule of 3 banks only to carry out the 50k+ transfer limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 My Kasikorn transfer took 8 seconds a couple days ago. I'd only use my Bangkok Bank account if i needed it to be shown as "international" then i would be chilled about a small delay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billd766 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) I transferred 30K baht from my Wise UK account last night and it was in my BKK account just after 2pm this afternoon. No problems other than the BBK bank haven't sent me an sms yet. I did online banking and it was there.

KhunBENQ Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 As written in another thread my EUR (2k ~ 72k Baht) transfer from WISE account to Bangkok Bank took two days instead of one (Monday night to Wednesday afternoon). I got an email with an excuse but no reference to partner bank or the like. Maybe next time I try my Kasikorn account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I also have Bangkok Bank account, but when i transfer to that account via Wise, it always takes longer, so it would seem it is this end, with the bank, that the problem lies? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gaccha Posted February 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2023 This type of complaining reminds me of Louis CK ridiculing people who complain about the miracle of the internet on an air flight over the Pacific when it briefly goes wrong. "How quickly the world owes him something which he only knew existed about 10 seconds ago" - Louis CK With your Wise transfer, you are experiencing a miracle of modern finance technology. And you are complaining because it is taking a little longer than a couple of seconds. If you don't like it you can use the remarkably bad traditional system which will cost far more. Or use any of Wise's competitors. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any members ever used WISE to: - Transfer funds from K Bank - To a bank in Poland or Czech Republic? WISE tell me they can do it but must be transferred with recipient currency showing as US$ (cannot be in Euros or local Polish etc., currencies). WISE say this is really not a problem, all banks can easily/quickly convert to local currency on arrival. WISE say sender must quote a SWIFT code or IBAN code. (Without a SWIFT or IBAN code they cannot do the transfer. WISE say it's possible the transaction could involve an intermediary bank therefore an extra SWIFT fee, probably around US$5-, which would be deducted from the final amount paid into the ultimate receiving account. Any commenst appreciated, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I totally agree that Wise and other similar services are a modern day 'miracle' and I am amazed how they can transfer money so quickly, the point of forums like these are to 'discuss' topics that affect people, so I don't really see it as complaints but more informing people of what is happening?
