Money transfer for buying condo

Transfer USA Social Security to Bangkok Bank using International Direct Deposit
I think Bangkok bank is trying to influence you to use their original method for receiving your SS benefits as a Direct Deposit. What the bank employee told you is the rules for that old method. That method involves Bangkok bank's NY office receiving the funds via an ACH in IAT format from SSA. Then the bank subtracts their fee, exchanges US$ to Thai ฿ using the bank's TT rate and sends the result to the special savings account in Thailand. SSA has since established IDD (International Direct Deposit) which uses SWIFT to transfer directly to Bangkok bank in Thailand and then to your normal savings account. This method uses the same exchange rate as above but the fees are structured differently. @Pib calculated which of the two methods is best depending on the amount of your benefit. Sorry, but I don't remember the details since I don't use either method. -
