Specifically from my Australian bank account. About to send over 500-700k THB. Friend of mine says a lot of issues with Wise atm holding up transfers asking for more details, obviously money washing laws or something. He's started using Western union and says their ex rate normal internet rate plus a fee of only $10 or so and money hits your Thai bank in minutes

I took the effort to register.

Website quite a mess.

Had to use VPN to make them believe I want to send money >TO< Thailand.

Registration as such quite easy, No verification of the address, just upload passport.

Code sent to my Thai mobile number.

Then you see the unbelievable offer: 0 fee, full currency market rate.

Wow!

After registration you are forced to a send money page and I can't change the amount entered before registration (2000 EUR). Wanted to test 200 EUR. No way.

Website frozen after a few attempts.

But only after cancelling and restarting I can see the obvious.

The offer is the usual decoy, first transfer.

Can't find what is the real charge for further transfers would be.

Wasted time, got enough.

Opposite of what I call transparent.

Will try to have my data deleted.

Readers of this sub-forum must have realised that there is an increasing number of complaints concerning "new ways of transferring money".

 

Western Union was never mentioned here in connection with "transfer problems". I wuold stay with Western Union as they have been in business for the last 174 years by transferring money (among other things).

 

More: Avoid internet hokus pokus. Go to the many WU offices in your neighborhood in person. Never no "transfer problems".
