stewartthailand Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Get them to send money in sterling from U.K. Bank to Thai bankThe fee is £4 and all the rate differences on such a small amount are negligible Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lungbing Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 HSBC for one. But you must send GBP so it's converted over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartthailand Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 The OP is talking about 56,000 Baht - pretty small money so why are we talking about small fees and minuscule exchange rates Xaos - speak to your UK bank Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick ZepTepi Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I've used xendpay for well over a year never had problems and it gives the best rates that track 0.2 or there about a below standard exchange rate.

Below is reply I got from well worded email to hi-fx I understand that you have been charged £25 by either the recipient bank or intermediary bank. With regards to the questions you have asked, the payment was sent via SWIFT, which is how banks make international payments outside the EU. We cannot comment as to why you were not charged using Transferwise as their business model could be different to ours. With regards to charges on our website, they are under the FAQ’s. On this occasion, we will reimburse £25 charge applied as a gesture of goodwill and in full and final settlement of this issue. To enable us to make this payment to you, please follow the steps below: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
