maxcorrigan Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Have been trying to register with Wise with no luck, filled in my email plus Thai phone number was informed verification code has been sent nothing arrives, tried the phone option again nothing, tried several times and am now blocked, is there something obvious my 84 yr old brain is missing. can i not register via email? Sorry if this is in the wrong section; if so mods can you please move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KhunBENQ Posted May 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Did you try to register on the website? There is a guide how to install from the WISE app on the smartphone. Verification code sent, sounds like SMS being sent. I myself had problems with another bank (German) that should have sent an SMS with some code and never arrived. It might be a problem with SMS. I am successfully registered with WISE and there is no SMS involved in daily business. Edited May 5, 2023 by KhunBENQ 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnieP Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 The OP shouldn’t have any trouble, these are the guidelines Wise offers online: https://wise.com/us/blog/how-to-open-wise-account#:~:text=Register with Wise online%2C or,Google%2C Facebook or Apple account. These type of organisations aren’t oriented towards registering by e-mail. Downloading the Wise app and registering via that would probably be the easiest way.

Thank you, the verification number they send never arrives and neither does the SMS service tried many times now my number is blocked, tried the help desk, that then asks to login which i obviously can't do, then unhelpfully suggests registering so it goes round and round, maybe i'll look for an alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidJames Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Which Thai banks are best for receiving funds via wise.com? I understand that some banks are not aligned with Wise at all & others have low limits on what they will accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Bank Public Company Kasikorn Bank Siam Commercial Bank https://wise.com/help/articles/2932335/guide-to-thb-transfers OP Can you register an account in Thailand? I just remember when I needed to move my account from Singapore to Thailand or UK I ended up moving it to the UK for some reason (Could have been that I have a lot more proof of address there as all my UK bank/credit card correspondence goes to my parents address). No problem using a Thai mobile number with Wise though as other's have recommended, you're much better off using the mobile app. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do the transfers from those senders arrive as Foreign Transfers (FTT at Bkk Bank) if you are using the monthly transfer method for a Visa Extension?

I have no issues getting SMS from Wise and they often use to confirm login. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
