Slow Wise transfers

Check the partner bank used on the receipt, if the transfer was slower chances Wise used their new Tranglo partner. I made a transfer Monday from Singapore Thb80k, the Kasikorn sms arrived before the one from HSBC, partner was Kasikorn. Transfer to the wife's SCB account of Bht5,000 took 40 minutes, partner was Tranglo.

Some times it is slow and others tit takes juat a few seconds. I don't believe, but I may be wrong, the problem is with Wise but the bank the money is being sent to.

And that is why your transfers are always slow. This option indicates that you want your transfer to be annotated with a special code in your bank passbook. These transfers can only be actioned during normal banking hours, hence the delays.

 

If you require that coding in your passbook then you'll have to accept the delays. If you don't, then switch to another option. I use 'general living expenses' and my transfers to Krungsri are nearly always instant.

If you need the transfer to show as an International one for Immigration purposes, best to put Long Term Stay just to be on the safe side. I think that your choice stays at your last choice. However a Personal Expenses transfer on Monday arrived in Bkk Bank as FTT at 14.03 yesterday. All as normal.

Enjoy your luck, but it is simply not the norm any longer.

Been using them several years, its normal for me to get transfers in seconds each and every time.
