Wise transfer lost

I initiated a transfer from my balance in my Wise account to my Bangkok bank account yesterday afternoon, local time. It said 'by Tuesday'. Around 8:45 AM this morning, Wise emailed to say they had just sent the money and I should see it around 14:00, local time.

 

This is from my Wise account to my Bangkok bank account registered with Wise that has previously taken a few seconds. My Bangkok bank account is compliant with the bank's updated, registered phone number policy.

 

Not sure why Wise now appears to have a minimum 8-hour transfer time, and it appears it waits more than 8 hours from initialising on their app to actually doing the transfer. I don't send great amounts of money, usually about £1000 two or three times a month.

Was there a reason for transfer? I hear not any more, 2pm for Bangkok Bank maybe the new normal for all transfers

Makes me wonder who was Wise's partner bank for @NanLaew's previously instant transfers - Bangkok Bank themselves or Kasikorn? My understanding (and, indeed, personal experience) has been that instant transfers are only possible where the partner bank is Kasikorn. So might it be the case that Kasikorn aren't a Wise partner bank any longer (in which case the default partner bank option for his transfers is presumably now Bangkok Bank and their 14:00 payment time)?

Bangkok Bank could be instant if it wasn't to be classed as International, that may have changed very recently though hence my question. There is a new funding intermediary replacing Kasikorn, Wanglo or something like that

Wise still offers the same drop-down menu for the reason. I have used either 'personal expenses' or 'for family' on the previous, instantaneous transfers.

It may be the case, and it seems that Wise now offers 'within 8 hours' or 'next day' for Bangkok bank, depending on what time of the day the transfer is initiated.

For info, the transfer I mentioned earlier posted here at 14:01 local time (Bangkok bank push notification), with Wise saying it was 14:13 (in their app). Looking at the previous push notification from Bangkok bank, international deposits have been flagged 'from MOBILE' (both Wise and SWIFT), whereas the one that took longer today says 'from AUTO'. 

 

I will go online and see if the coding or description of the deposits has changed. That could indicate a shift in local intermediary, or maybe not.

Yesterday's transfer Wise to Krungsri:

Your money got there in just seconds. Now that's what we call maximum ease at full speed.

Need a receipt? You can download it from your Wise account. If not, here's a recap:

This transfer from Wise to Krungsri went through the Global Pay channel with no mention of KBank as previously.

What Thai Bank? My understanding is recently Wise will no longer transfer to some Thai banks.

I did not get far enough to choose a bank to send to.   WISE would not accept either my U.S. bank debit card or my U.S. credit card.
