What are the alternatives to Wise for sending money from the U.S. to Thailand after TTB stopped accepting remittances?

I use Moneygram cash pickup. My wife gets the money instantly (well next time she goes to the bank). It appears properly on my bank statement, and I have a paper record who receives the money and why, if anyone is asking. Standard charge is 5% but most of the time they discount it to 2 or 3%. Way cheaper and quicker than normal bank transfer. Probably no good for large amounts. I read that Bangkok bank has overseas locations. While you can't open an account at these location, you can transfer from domestic banks to these, then effectively an internal transfer to Thailand.

I'm still using Wise to tf to Thailand...

Wise has stopped working in the US. Wise is probably the issue not the bank.

XE

Get her to open a wise account in her name!

Check with US branch of Bangkok bank and see if they can help with opening a Thailand BKB account from here.

Western union ?

So all money transfer companies are in the same boat then.

The banks not listed to accept yet are just behind the 8 ball and a little slow changing to the new system.

I use remitly

Just spitballing here but would the New York branch of Bangkok bank work? The OP can open an account there while in the US.

Try using Xe International money transfer

If you're sending funds from the US the only bank you can use is Bangkok Bank because they have a ABA transaction number all other banks used to Swift system. With my VIP status I can wire transfer funds to Bangkok Bank for free now You have to use wire transfer ACH numbers are no longer accepted.

I'm from the UK, and I use kapook to transfer money to my partner(don't know if there is a US app) however it's much more cheaper than Western Union and Moneywise, money usually transfered in minutes.

these banks all good to use with wise

Can you send money from virgin money and natwest from the UK as not sure if these banks are accepted to transfer to a thai account

Bangkok bank ok

It’s just temporary :

MoneyGram works great, and has been working great for me sending from Canadian bank to a Thai frequently for years.

whenever i have sent funds from wise uk to my thai acc it shows as a local transfer. i assumed wise had an account with a thai bank here

There is a list of wise accepted banks

TTB will be accepted within the next two weeks they said. Just waiting for the update

Revolut is cheaper anyway

Did you try to send more than 50,000B because -

There is a limit of 50,000 Baht in international transfers for people who use Wise to transfer the money and only for people using a bank other than Bangkok Bank, Siam Commercial Bank or Kasikorn Bank.

Other services have not changed XE.com for 1, rate is good transfer is slow.

My backup is Western Union, Remitly or Moneygram. I checked the rates on all three and choose the one that's giving me the best payout at that moment

You’ll never have an issue with Bangkok bank.

Why doesn't your wife open a new account at an accepted bank? Then they could either transition to using that bank, or just transfer the money from that account to their TTB account.
