Just a random question. Why are you guys so interested in opening a thai bank account? It makes what easier?

Hi, has there been any updates on opening a bank account on the DTV ?

Hello all,

I'm a Canadian, but I have an Indonesian bank account with Permata Bank. I noticed that Bangkok Bank actually owns Permata, so I'm wondering if anyone knows whether using a Bangkok Bank atm with my Permata card will wave the fee associated with using a foreign card? I emailed Bangkok Bank to ask, but I haven't received a response yet. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi any advice on travel money cards

Potential Transferwise Hacker Alert

I have been using (Transfer)Wise for several years now. Same bank account, routine transfers twice a month.

Suddenly they require I re-verify account. No warning, no explanation, nothing. My bank account is in good standing.

I reached out to Transferwise and have not yet heard back.

The thing is this. Hackers will pretend to be another site and ask you to log-in (re-verify), the user then enters their account details into the compromised site, effectively given their account details to the hackers. Its a common hacker technique. The site asking for my details was some third party site, with Transferwise logos.

If this was legitimately Transferwise I would think they would have given some pre-notice. "Your will need to re-verify in 90 day, 60 days, etc" Also because I have been using them for so long and never needed to re-verify in the past I am concerned about my account details.

I encourage anybody using Transferwise change your password, verify that your account integrity.
