I have Cash App for early direct deposit in the USA, and I have Regions Bank. Wise has not sent my card, and I leave the 31 for Thailand. I will carry cash under 10k and will have money left in Regions. Will there be any issue to get bank wires to Thailand or to Thai Bank? Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about the ability to receive bank wires to Thailand using Cash App and Regions Bank, especially with a pending arrival. They plan to bring cash under $10,000, have money in Regions, and inquire about the options for sending money to a Thai bank. Comments suggest that having a Thai bank account and using Wise is a preferred method for transferring money internationally, while the cost of transactions and implications of foreign ATM withdrawals also need consideration.

use wise to send $$ from us bank to thai bank. takes less than 30 seconds and great rate

NOT sure about wise cards, but most foreign cards are charged 220 baht /withdrawal.

If you have a Thai bank no problem use wise or WU

Having a wise card wouldn't help you sending money to Thailand regardless. The cheapest way to send money to Thailand is to have a Thai bank account and use Wise to convert and send the money, or have a debit card that refunds your ATM fees like Charles Schwab and just do big ATM withdrawals.

All foreign ATM transactions have a fee of 220 baht.
