The Thai baht has vanished from my Wise list of countries to exchange and send. It’s been 48 hours. The was an APP update but heard nothing from Wise. Anyone got or had a similar issue? Been using them for over a year now.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user reported that the Thai baht has disappeared from their Wise app following an update. Several community members responded, sharing their experiences with the app, confirming the baht's availability on their accounts, and suggesting troubleshooting steps like reinstalling the app. Others discussed alternative money transfer services like OFX and WorldRemit, and shared insights on transferring money to Thailand. Overall, the issue seems to be specific to the user's app, as many confirmed the Thai baht was still visible in their accounts.

world Remit are 💩. Had loads of problems with them they keep sending me emails asking if I’m happy then ignore my messages.
Daniel ******
@Brian *********
sounds like my experience with WU. The only problem I've had with WorldRemit is the B50k daily limit. I get around all these issues now using crypto

WesternUnion were the pits. I remember sending money 20 years ago and having to phone WesternUnion and speak to operators who I couldn’t understand. Happy days huh 😂

@Brian *********
I have been sending money for 8 years with western union . It goes instantly and for $1000 cost me 99 cents or $2 max . Fee goes up the more you send . Higher amounts typically take a few days

@Ross *********
I’m sure they’ve improved but 20 years ago when I used them there were no phone apps around

Just tried my app and it's normal, I suggest you re-install the programme

Just used mine this morning. All normal.

No info from Wise. Contact them and restart your phone fully.

When wize did an update, it moved the Thai bhat to the drop down menu. Just save as a favorite again.

Wise is more likely to show as FTT.

@Darren *****
It's the wise app that gives you the exchange rate to compare
Darren ******
@John *********
thanks John, just realised they did this comparison. Didn't know before
John **********
@Darren *****
it's a seperate app you can download
John **********
All good on my Wise app
Patrick ********

Craig ********

Phil ******
@Paul ******
my app still shows thai baht. Can you uninstall and reinstalled from playstore?
Joe *******
Transferred yesterday and its still in Wise today
Sharron *******
Then how will we be able to transfer money every month from USA to Thailand?
Ken ***********
@Sharron ******
you can use WISE to transfer from your overseas bank to your Thai bank without first depositing to WISE
Pieternella ************
@Ken ******
I agree I use OFX for large amount
Sharron *******
I was going to open wise acct and transfer money to it, then when in Thailand transfer the 800,000 o my new bank act. i get when I am there. Also want my SS check deposited into wise for monthly cost of living. Does that make sense? If I buy a condo, i will want to transfer money from wise to bank also.
Eden *******
@Sharron ******
Wise is not great for large amounts, I would suggest OFX, their rates are better than banks and you can call them when you are ready to transfer funds and ask for a better rate, I just did that for an overseas house purchase, I only sent a smaller amount first to make sure it arrived in the correct account. Because of money laundering laws now sending larger amounts is a shitshow of paperwork at times.

The Thai Bht is sinking
Oliver **********
@Gary ****
just the opposite. It's getting stronger
Rok ********
@Oliver *********
i think you mean £ and $ is getting stronger, baht is certainly weakening …
Oliver **********
@Rok *******
over what time frame? It's up 2 percent over the last month. And fairly stable year over year. USD vs Baht:
Rok ********
Oliver **********
@Rok *******
ok yeah agreed. But if someone says something is sinking i would usually assume they mean currently
Rok ********
@Oliver *********
looks like the trend to continue in 2024 and 2025 …
Oliver **********
@Rok *******
long term financial forecasts are almost universally useless
