Hi Folks,
Ok this falls under "everything else". I'm still trying to get everything setup after I recently "moved to" Thailand. The logistics are still being worked out, but I now have an apartment that I'm just moving into but I'm leaving the country for a few weeks.
My first (or technically second) month's rent will be due when I'm out of the country, but I don't think I'll have my bank account setup in time. Last summer, Wise did whatever magic it needed to do to determine that I'm real and apparently not a money launderer or whatever they do to approve someone to use their services. However, I've never gotten past that point.
Here's my question...please be kind because this Wise system feels like a black box to me. Can I transfer money into Wise, have it converted to baht then transfered directly into my landlord's bank account from there, even if the landlord knows nothing about Wise? I'm hoping this is a solution to my challenge.
Thanks so much.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is relocating to Thailand and is concerned about paying their landlord's rent while traveling abroad. They inquire if they can use Wise to transfer funds to their landlord's Thai bank account without the landlord needing to know about Wise. Community responses confirm that using Wise for this purpose is possible, provided they have the landlord's bank details. Recommendations include making a small test transfer and communicating with the landlord about any delayed payment due to the upcoming travel.
