TLDR : Answer Summary
The Wise app is generally a viable option for transferring money to Thailand, with users reporting quick and cost-effective transactions to several major Thai banks, such as Bangkok Bank, K Bank, KrungThai, and SCB. However, some Thai banks, like Government Savings Bank (GSB) and Government Housing Bank, may not support transfers via Wise, leading to some confusion among users. While many find Wise efficient over years of use, there are mixed reviews regarding the app's fees; some users highlight hidden costs, while others assert that all fees are disclosed upfront. Transaction times can vary, particularly over weekends. Overall, the app is frequently recommended for those in Thailand, though users should verify compatibility with specific banks before using the service.

I will never use this app again. It has too many hidden fees.

@Marcos *********
it tells you how much it’s costing you before you send it maybe you need to invest in reading glasses

@Marcos *********
all the fees are right in front of you. You know the cost and how you'll receive before you even confirm the transfer.

It's work but some Thai Bank is not access to transfer for this app. For example GSB bank.

@Meaw ******
As far as I know you can transfer money to GSB via Wise, but it might be less options compared to major Thai banks.

@Max ************
I got this confirmation from Thai society group that posted and just share for it again. If you can check again with Wise app as well because I know from Thai group they got a problem with GSB Bank now.

@Meaw ******
Who would ever think of applying for an account at GSB? A Thai national would maybe. 🤔

Sorry for it and no idea. I have not account of KrungSri Bank also. Please check it with Wise app as well.

@Meaw ******
alle thai bank kan du overfør til

Check their support. It gives you 20 names of banks not supported (and 7 they do support).

I'd also check Xe.com as it has better rates.

not anymore...

Name one Thai business bank you can't transfer money to via Wise. Don't name banks like for example Government Housing Bank or Islamic Bank of Thailand. There are also payment system upgrades going on in Thailand. That will most likely affect some smaller banks. That upgrade will probably take for ever, TIT.

@Max ************
I know only GSB, and GH Bank are not access.
Max *************
@Meaw ******
I'm 100% sure you can transfer money to Krungthai Bank. GH Bank = Government Housing Bank is not a business bank,and that might be the reason.There are also payment system upgrades going on,which I guess can affect the possibility to transfer money to some banks,maybe it includes GSB,which imo isn't a business bank.
