How can I send payments from my Revolut Thai Baht account to a Krungthai bank account using the correct format?
Advice needed from Revolut bank account holders please.
I am trying to send payments via my Revolut Thai Baht account to a Krungthai bank account, but it won't accept the account number in the usual Thai format (###-#-#####-#) .
Any clues how to circumvent this ?
Advice rather than snide comments much appreciated in advance

You need to use your Thai account number with no spaces at all and your Thai bank bic/swift code. My revolut is working fine this way.

OP@Steve ******
I've input both as you suggest but it refuses the acct number right at the endNongnuch ********
@Al *********
clear the cache and the history, rebooth the computer (or smartphone, whichever) and start all over again. No spaces, no separation keys. Thai BIC/SWIFT codeNongnuch ********
@Al *********
computer's cache. Just rebooth, if you are in standard settings, the cache will be cleared automatically when reboothing. You see, the App always recognizes your previous mistakes and won't accept corrections. After a rebooth, all this information is deletedAl **********
OP@Nongnuch *******
clear which cache ?

Havent sent from Revolut for years but just checked and I put on with just the numbers. But you are better using Revolut to fund Wise transfer as your receiving Thai bank will charge you as if an international payment. It also takes 3-4 days for the payment to arrive whereas Wise is instant.

you need to remove the separation keys as they will be read like the "minus" symbol. Just write the account number WITHOUT any spaces

OP@Greg **********
this doesn't work I'm afraidGreg ***********
@Al *********
did you add the Thai bank's SWIFT code?Greg ***********
@Al *********
sorry . . this is way over my headAl **********
OP@Greg **********
sure didGreg ***********
@Al *********
just not right. Remove all spaces. A Thai bank account is in SWIFT / BIC formatGreg ***********
@Al *********
that's what I am saying, it wants the SWIFT format. No space in between . . You can google it . conversion to SWIFT . . you need the BANK BRANCH swift code!Al **********
OP@Greg **********
trust me, it wants SWIFT and I have tried account number in both formats. Neither work

Try going directly to the website instead of using the app. Sometimes that helps

@Martin ********
that's not the reason it doesn't work. It is those separation keys between the numbers. He needs to remove them and write the account number without any spacesKeith *******
Log into the app, click details then choose international tab instead of local. Hope this helps

OP@Greg **********
Revolut is my main bankGreg ***********
@Al *********
well, if sending large amounts, you better do it by your home bank and NOT by any other providerAl **********
OP@Greg **********
but thank you for trying to helpAl **********
OP@Greg **********
you have zero idea how much I'm sending or whyAl **********
OP@Greg **********
like i said, snide comments not required or welcomedGreg ***********
@Al *********
how much does using Revolut save you against WISE, is it two Dollar fifty, then HEY man don't throw that into the bin 😂😂😂Greg ***********
@Al *********
then use WISE, you save just a very marginal amount, why would you overcomplicate itAl **********
OP@Greg **********
i get free exchanges, unlimited, and free international transfers. I can send to Spain without any issuesGreg ***********
@Al *********
really? Have you checked on the WISE website how much the recipient will receive using the cheapest method of transfer (bank-to-bank-account) ?Keith *******
@Greg **********
as my response said he can find all the information on the international tab, including the swift codeAl **********
OP@Greg **********
wise works perfectly well, but i get a better rate of exchange with my RevolutGreg ***********
@Keith ******
of course it is an IBAN transfer from your home bank account to the Revolut account. But it is not an IBAN format any more for the next step. A Thai bank account is in SWIFT / BIC formatGreg ***********
no. I use WISE. It's literally the same process. Using my Thai account number I need to remove the spaces between, to make it work
Al **********
OP@Keith ******
it specifically asks for the SWIFT number and accepts it ok. It's the account number it doesn't likeKeith *******
@Greg **********
do you have a revolut account?Keith *******
@Greg **********
ok☺️Greg ***********
@Keith ******
no, this is wrong! A Thai account uses the SWIFT format, this is only numbers, no spaces . . an IBAN number contains 22 parts! I have never seen a Thai bank account with 22 digits including a country codeActivity
