Banks in Thailand Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[fletchsmile]

Banking regulations are growing tighter everywhere - but not sure if I am reading this correctly - not sure how you would think that a second party could legally wire money out of anyones account that is not their own.

If that were the case, no account would be safe.

When they were here in Thailand in December, they signed all the necessary paperwork and forms in the bank for me to withdraw the money from their acc. Withdrawing the money is not the problem. The problem is transferring it.

Seems a simple issue. You've got all the paperwork to do one thing, but now want to do another.

Not only are there are different regulatory and other requirements for a simple withdrawal compared to an overseas transfer, but also you can hardly blame the bank for not allowing you to do something you are not authorised to do to someone else's account.

There's also a reasonable chance the answer is simple. If you've all the paperwork to withdraw and are authorised to do so, then do that. Place the money in your account and transfer it. Just check before doing that, that you can meet whatever requirements that your bank requires for you to transfer overseas. Whether that's a WP, limits on amounts etc.
