we only ever use SCB BANK for trans.as over the past we found them a few satang above the other banks.and with trans.a tidy sum it does pay for all expences. i do an express trans.1hr.and its here,but it does cost me 30gbp.plus the little bit this end.

She didn't say anything, Parliament approved the Brexit paper hence no more uncertainty on that front.

Indeed, one of the great mysteries of The Great Thai Banking Industry Exchange Rate Calculation System (if you can call it that) for me is why, in the case of BBL at least, rates are only updated once a day at 08:30 on some days, whereas on others they can be updated up to 5 times on the same day.

 

In the case of transfers from my UK to BBL accounts via their London branch, however, I have always noticed that the TT rate used for calculating the conversion is always the one applying at 08:30, regardless of the timing of the FTT credit and any intervening subsequent rate updates.

as i have mine once a yr.from the uk.to SCB.same time every yr.by online trans.so i have always check the exchange rate when i do the trans.then again when it arrives here,usually takes 1.5hrs.

but i have noticed SCB. TT RATES havent been that favourable.they up to my last trans.was a few satang better than the rest,enough to cover my trans.cost.

just goner see where they are at 11.25am.

I don't immediately see why that happened, there was a 1.5 cent jump in GBP/USD but I don't know why.

Analysts aren't buying the Pound rebound story and are predicting $1.16 within 6 months!
