How can I transfer money from Australia to Thailand using Wise without receiving SMS verification codes?

no fees but poor exchange rate . They make money through the exchange

@Detlef **********

yes it is

it works for me with Wise, but one of my banks doesn't offer this.

When you login to the website or you do some transactions with their card (online or shops) they might send you SMS. But not if you have the app registered as 2FA device.

And VPN: yes. Has nothing to do with the question at all

and exchange rate is shit at the moment, I am holding off transferring any more money for another month or 2

@Detlef **********

wise rates are better than most and their fee is low when compared with bank to bank direct and no fee is paid to Aussie or Thai bank only to wise itself.

Hi Lee, setting up a Thai bank account can be quite the process now but anyway if it gets too had you always have the option to use an agent, anyway you can transfer directly from an Australian bank to your Thai bank although the exchange rate isn’t always that good or you can set up Wise which a lot of expats seem to favour, suggest either way send a token $10 to ensure the transfer happens the way way it should. Something to keep in mind is some Aussie banks limit transfers eg mine is limited to $30k AUD per transaction, also using wise transactions under 50,000 Baht is immediate, any amount greater will usually take 24 hours. Also your 800,000 Baht will need to mature in your Thai bank account for two months before immigration will recognise it. Good luck mate, it is worth it in the end 🙂

I've set up two-factor verification to be more secure

Why open an account? Just do a simple transfer
