ORIGINAL POSTERI have been using Wise (Formerly TransferWise) to send money from the US to my Thai Bank account. I logged on to try to do the opposite (send THB back to my US bank account) and it is not possible yet on their website. What are the best alternatives for me to use besides Wise?
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is looking for alternatives to Wise (formerly TransferWise) for sending money from Thailand to their US bank account, as Wise currently does not support this function. Comments suggest various options, including DeeMoney, Remitly, traditional Thai banks, and LocalBitcoins. Users also discuss experiences with Wise, noting potential issues and transfer fees associated with sending money internationally.

I used Wise for two years to send money from my US bank account to my Thailand bank account with no problem. What are the specific issues in your case?

Thanks for the screen shot,

. Hmm... It may be possible that Wise works for TL to USA transfers on laptops (which is what I was using to access Wise) but not on cell phones? Or maybe something bad happened to Wise's service over the past few months. If the former, and if your friend does not have a laptop, than what I would do in such situations is go to a local computer shop or internet shop, wait for all the gamers to leave, and then simply use the shop's computers for a small fee. Hope this helps.Andy *******

try reading the Wise transfer rules, they cannot send to other countries, same for Australia. They are restricted in doing so. I think international money laundering rules changes has caused this, with new regulations that apply to Wise when sending from Thailand. I used to be able to send when testing years ago, but no longer. Dee money doesn't have the same restrictions, it can send.Reply to

Oh, THAT is even *easier*. I have done that many times through Wise, with no serious problenms that were not my fault. Again, I would need to know more about the specific problems encountered in order to respond further.Edwin ********
@Ross *******
All I noticed was that he said that Wise was not letting him transfer money to Thailand. I did not notice specific details beyond that. Yet I am pretty sure I have done so. Thus, my question. I am trying to help, and may need more info about his specific problem(s) first.Ross ********

If you have a USA bank account why not send funds from there to whoever you want in the USA ?
I had used Venmo that way.
