RubbaJohnny Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I read post Brexit many UK financial insstitutions cannot posst to EU. I would like to maintain UK accounts as convenient for visits and I often make online purchases in sterling. Ss far AIB NAB and Citi no issues, The post Office usually leave a collect card in locked external Mail box, couriers seem to slide under the gate Nationwide and Wise cards will come up for renewal. I have looked at their websites seems no mention of Thailand. Be most grateful for any advice esp those who have received a renewed ( not first) cards here. My belief is Wise will renew, Nationwide not so clear? Thanks in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieKo Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 No idea about Nationwide. But Wise will not send to Thailand. Unless you have a friend in the UK who can receive the card for you and then forward it to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritManToo Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Why bother with posting UK debit cards? Wise lets you have a virtual debit card. Get a Thai bank account and use Wise to transfer money into it, then pay using phone app + QR codes. Edited March 11 by BritManToo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are well aware I am in Thailand, and it is recorded on their system. Have 2 cards with them, and when renewed last year, I messaged and asked if possible to post to Thailand? Nationwide said no, and posted to my registered UK address, and suggested someone forward on to me. Message them through the online banking system.

Popular Post clarty boots Posted March 11 Popular Post Share Posted March 11 @RubbaJohnny RE: Delivery of (UK) Wise debit card to Thai address. I received a communication from Wise last week (4th March) stating that I could have my replacement debit card sent to my Thai address. I have since ordered a replacement card and the app is now showing an estimated delivery towards the end of this month (think it showed 25th March). Fingers crossed it actually arrives! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand a fair point, uk debit card extremy handy to scan on Heathrow or Gatwick Express, I have a Thai mastercard not certain, regardless of unknown rate and overseas charges it'll work on uk transit systems, I prefer leave my thai cards in Thailand.For those who used to queu to buy or reload oysters, most transport in London don't take cash. Can you use a QR code at ticket barriers Heathrow or Gatwick, probably the way foward ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarty boots Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 @RubbaJohnny My Wise debit card has still not arrived (on checking the app it says expected delivery 26th to 31st March), if it doesn't turn up in the next few days I think I will reorder and have it delivered to a UK address and then forwarded to Thailand via registered post (my usual method of receiving debit/credit cards in Thailand. Including the above non delivery, I have only had about 3 or 4 items posted from the UK not making it to my house in the 7 years I have lived here, so not too bad.
