Does anyone out there receive their Canadian Pension through the Bangkok Bank. If yes please let me know how you got the Sort Code. I'm having a hell of a problem getting any answer from Bangkok Bank.

Our SWIFT code is BKKBTHBK, the one and only code for every Bangkok Bankbranch throughout Thailand. You should provide this to the overseas bank or person making the funds transfer via SWIFT to your account with Bangkok Bank in Thailand.

There is no sort code - that is a six digit number used in Canada for bank/branch.  Using SWIFT the BKKTHBK is the bank and the branch is indicated by the first 3 digits of the account number.

This is the info I sent for direct deposit to my account but Pension dept in Canada insists there's a SORT CODE number.

If this is government pension it appears they offer direct payment in Thai Baht so not sure SWIFT would be required.  Have you checked

Just asking: you don't have a Canandian bank account (anymore) preferably with internet access?

In most cases it's favorable to manage money transfer on your own.

When I will receive first part of my pension in some months I will give them a home country account to pay to.

I do not plan on going back to live Canada and you do not have a Canadian address you are not allowed to have a Canadian bank account. I used to use my daughters address but the Government wants you to live there 6 months of a year. So I guess I'll have to wait and see if I get a deposit on the info I've already sent.

Thanks for your imput.

OK my Canadian Pension was sent via Bank of America but they sent it back asking for the Sort Code which they say consists of

 

3 Digit Bank Code

 

4 Digit Routing Code 

 

I receive a pension from the UK and I sent the same info as I sent to Canada but the UK uses Citibank and there's no problem.

 

Anyone have any idea how to solve ???

Have you tried calling them?  You apparently must call for direct deposit outside Canada as there seem to be special procedures to follow rather than just using the normal PPU146 form.  Full information is provided at top of that form.  http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/fi-if/index.jsp?app=prfl&frm=isp1011cpp&lang=eng

 

Call 613-957-1954 (they accept collect calls).

According to this webpage of the Govt of Canada, they can make direct deposits to participating countries and Thailand is one of the participating countries.
