Very easy. Most times except Friday evenings and weekend money transfers within 5min.

I used it when building my house here. Large transfers took 1 day to clear. Saved so much on fees and FX rates.

Does he need to set up a separate holding account within his Wise account for Thai Baht to keep a balance in Baht to pay in Thailand with the DEBIT card?
