USA Corrosponding bank to B of BKK

[samuijimmy]

I need to get some money transfered from USA to my Bank of Bangkok account....

But I am having difficulty in getting the bank here to tell me which Corresponding bank, they (Bank of BKK) use in the US. Even a well spoken in English, Thai in the Bangkok HQ could not give me an answer.

Does anyone know?

The branch located in the city of New York.

I assume you mean the Bank of Bangkok branch in NYC.... I knew that, and would seem to be obvious....

But have been told by the sender, that it's not.... I am miffed~ !

Although perhaps if you or anyone knows what the (I assume SWIFT code is) for B of BKK in NYC that might help!!! ?

.... or any other suggestions??? Thanks!

Are we talking about the Bangkok Bank? If so the corespondent bank is New York. The SWIFT code is BKKBTHBK. It was years ago when I did one but know that code is correct and what I used then and what is on their site below. Full howto in the below links.

Thanks Tywais, I looked at that earlier, the problem is I do not have a US bank account, which seems to be the problem, although it seems to me the sender company should be able to do from theirs...?

I am totally confused, my alternative is converting to Can$ to my account there, then transferring here... US dollar has much better exchange rate at the moment... and would save two exchange conversions!

Sigh~ !

could you please enlighten us what your problem is? transferring money from the US does not require the knowledge of any correspondent bank. Bangkok Bank's Thailand SWIFT code is all that is required.

Let me run this by the person involved in sending the money again .... They already have the Bank of BKK Swift code.... So I too am confused as why such a big problem .... it should be easy!

Time difference delays don't help in communication! This is why I asked the question here ! Thanks for the help!

This sure does get confusing !

Is the OP in the US or in Canada ?

He states that he does not have a US Bank account, does he have a Canadian Bank Account

Who is this mysterious " the sender company " ?

[samuijimmy]

All is well !!

......seems don't talk or rely on management, to know how things work!!! The girls in New York where the money was sent from, knew exactly what to do!

The transfer arrived here yesterday, already ..... while going through all this fuss!

Might as well close topic! !
