Receiving International Transfers to Thailand – K-Bank Now Charging ฿100–฿150 per BahtNet Tr

[falangUK]

Just a heads-up—Kasikorn Bank (K-Bank) has started charging ฿100–฿150 per incoming international transfer. Most transactions have come via BahtNet, not SWIFT, and they’re still charging this fee per transaction.

The amount isn’t massive, but it adds up quickly if you’re receiving small and frequent payments, as many freelancers or remote workers do. Receiving larger lump sums is one option, but not always feasible or ideal.

I’ve looked into alternatives, but many Thai banks—especially smaller ones—don’t have SWIFT codes or simply don’t support international payments at all.

Anyone here using:

* A Thai bank with lower fees for BahtNet or international transfers?
* Fintech platforms like Wise, Revolut, or Payoneer to sidestep this?
* A foreign bank account or digital wallet that converts and forwards money to Thailand with fewer fees?

Would love to hear what’s worked for others dealing with similar payment structures.

Cheers.

Most people use Wise where you don't see that fee, Ive always seen that fee and higher for swift payments

That is very reasonable, my American bank charges $35 for incoming transfers. It's not unusual these days, as corporations continue to get greedier.
