Bangkok bank international transfer via app, but you cannot send money home to yourself?

[john donson]

new to Bangkok Bank app, as just managed to be allowed in the privilege's club of account holder, LOOOOOOOOOL

 

so I browse their option for international transfer of funds via swift...

 

the receiver cannot be the same name as the sending, for some weird fraudulent prevention blabla...

 

so I cannot wire money to my home country' bank in my name, has to be someone else ???

I believe that is in keeping with BOT regulations for overseas transfers, unless the sender has a work permit or proof that the funds are originally from overseas, which would both be exceptions for the bank.

I believe you can transfer money to your home country by using Deemoney.

 

Good luck....

I certainly have no problem sending money to myself for many years.

 

But as noted by @Mike Lister I do have a WP and use "repatriation of income" as the reason for transfer.
