Medallion Signature Guarantee

Featured Replies

If anyone can help me find a financial institution in Thailand which will provide this service, I'm all ears. I am trying to get an investment firm in the US to wire some funds here to Bangkok. They require a Medallion Signature, not a notary, to make this happen. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.wai.gif

Have you tried the US Embassy? also, try any US bank branches/affiliates in Bkk or other

cities in Thailand, these are your best bet...

My guess the OP will need to settle for the U.S. Embassy Seal/Notary but first he needs to make sure his financial company understands he can't get a Medallion Signature because he's outside the U..S.; the best he can get is a seal/notary from the U.S. Embassy. Here's what the all knowing Wikipedia says about Medallion Signature Guarantee: Link

The Medallion Guaranty Stamp is specifically a US brokerage product. In fact, your Inv. firm should be the one providing you with the stamp. They are the ones with you signature cards/files on record for comparison. Try calling your broker/banker (or even better, their assistant) and get them to sign off on your signature.

Have the same problem for a form from Fidelity to get wire transfer set-up with Bangkok Bank swift code and can find no solution. Any ideas or successes. Thanks.

Sorry but I know of no solution to Fidelity's Medallion Guarantee requirement , even in the US they are not easily obtainable 

 

Even if you find a bank or Credit Union that offers the service most don't really understand how they work.  There is a misconception that you must prove , via a statement, that you have sufficient funds to cover the "guarantee".  This is not a problem if Fidelity does it for you at one of their investment centers, but can be problematic at other institutions 

 

If you think about it , how can anyone guarantee that you will have enough funds to cover a wire in the future?  But that is what the system is based upon if someone other than Fidelity issues a "Medallion Guarantee"

Afraid you will have to return to the US, but as of yesterday, Bangkok Bank is still accepting EFTS requests, but have sent out a notice for all customers to review their "standing order" wire instructions so maybe they know that EFTS is going to end shortly
