Using a WISE visa debit card "Thai baht" balance wthdrawal fees at SCB or Kasikorn ?

[RubbaJohnny]

Please does anyone use a physical WISE card at a Kasikorn or SCB ATM machine , withdrawing baht from your Thai  baht balance?

 

While I use it for purchases have not tried new card  in an ATM.

 

If I  withdraw 30,ooo baht the maximum local ATM allows in one transactions what will be the approximate cost please.

 

Is it the fixed foreign card fee around 200-250 baht c $5-10 which is no problem or is it more like the typical range  2-3% charged on foreign currency conversions, which is will cost me close to hundred bucks a month?

 

I realize probably better to take large sum once a month than $100 equivalent daily for "walking around money"

 

Any advice or direct experience welcome

I, like you, can use the THB balance I keep on my WISE Multi-currency card, online or to buy in stores. But at the ATM machine it wants 250 Bht fee, which I will not pay as I have a Bkk Bank card.

WISE is still, for me, the best way to transfer each month to comply with Immigration. Long Term Stay reason takes 24 hours to arrive, no problems.

Thanks for reply, have you or anyone you know actually ever done it  with a WISE  card though?

 

Is that 250 at Kasikorn or SCB as similar to the fee for a transfer via wise, and may be useful  to have some cash for tradesmen like gardeners plumbers builders who like the local restaurants everywhere prefer fungible cash.

The Kasikorn or SCB ATM will show you the transaction fee they will charge on the screen before the withdrawal is done. If you do not agree/like the fee then just cancel the transaction.
