Will there be issues with receiving bank wires in Thailand if I use Cash App and Regions Bank?
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
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.

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.
