Problem transferring money to GSB (Pink bank)

[Blue Muton]

I’ve been sending money from the UK to my GSB account via Wise for years.

Today I attempted a transaction and got this message. I sent money to my wife’s Kasikorn account instead without any difficulties.

Any ideas why.there was a problem and how to fix it please?

Yes I got the same response an hour ago. 

I hope it's just a temporary glitch and I'll try again tomorrow.

Due to “A system upgrade across banks in Thailand to enhance their security“ Wise has had to drop a number of Banks from the list you can send money to…

 

https://wise.com/help/articles/2932335/guide-to-thb-transfers

 

it is now limited to…. 

• Bangkok Bank Public Company Kasikorn Bank

• Krung Thai Bank

• Siam Commercial Bank

• CIMB Thai Bank

• Bank Of Ayudhya (Krungsri bank)

• Kiatnakin Phatra Bank

 

Starting on 6 May 2025, the following banks will no longer be supported due to payment system upgrades in Thailand: 

• TMBThanachart Bank (011)

• Citibank (017)

• Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (018)

• Standard Chartered Bank (020)

• United Overseas Bank (024)

• The Government Savings Bank (030)

• HSBC (031)

• Deutsche Bank (032)

• The Government Housing Bank (033)

• Bank For Agriculture And Agricultural Cooperatives (034)

• Mizuho Corporate Bank (039)

• BNP Paribas (045)

• Bank Of China (052)

• Thanachart Bank (065)

• Islamic Bank Of Thailand (066)

• TISCO Bank (067)

• ICBC (070)

• The Thai Credit Retail Bank (071)

• Land And Houses Retail Bank (073)

• Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank (Thai) PCL (SMTB) (080)

 

I believe these will come back once they get their security aligned to whatever standard is required for Wise to be able to transfer to them.

Thanks, would have been a good idea for Wise to have put a link to that!

.. who, ironically, used to be one of Wise's partner banks in Thailand, if I recall correctly!

That pink bank is crap. My friend has an account there that he has to use because he works for the Thai government. He complains about it constantly.

Just stumbled upon this and want to bump it as it is not limited to GSB bank.

New thread?

Another major bank is ttb (former Thai military bank).

 

Combined with the limit of 49999 Baht for many banks it means practically that only these three banks are usable with WISE for most purposes.

 

Bangkok Bank Public Company      2,000,000

Kasikorn Bank                                   2,000,000

Siam Commercial Bank                    1,499,999

Other recipient banks                           49,999

 

Study the post above from JB300 and read the link he provided.

List of all supported banks:

Supported recipient banks: 

• Bangkok Bank Public Company

• Kasikorn Bank

• Krung Thai Bank

• Siam Commercial Bank

• CIMB Thai Bank

• Bank Of Ayudhya (Krungsri bank)

• Kiatnakin Phatra Bank

 

Two very popular banks with the 50k limit.

(would immigration like to see multiple transfer of 50k and rest?)

That will affect some?
