TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around the recent introduction of international money transfer options through KBank, initially limited to 24 countries and six currencies. Users express both excitement and caution regarding potential transaction fees, noting that international transfers appear to be for sending money out of Thailand rather than receiving it. Some participants share their experiences with KBank and other banks like SCB in managing international funds, along with suggestions for app updates to access transfer features.

It appears it's only for purposes of transferring money OUT of Thailand. It wouldn't help those needing to transfer money from their country of origin living in Thailand. (For example transferring pension money or social security, etc. )

Don't forget though that there’s still probably a transaction charge at the receiving bank end.

Ok thanks. I want to open a KBank account but have been using SCB for the last 21 years. That’s why I asked. I did have an account with KBank before that but when it was Thai Farmers Bank.

Seems like they only want KBank customers to know about it which is why it’s only on the app. Strange.

Yeah all that stuff is standard fare but before a person went to the trouble of opening an account and downloading an app, they would need some basic info about the promotion on offer which can usually be found on a website affiliated with the bank. It appears not in this case.
