Wise.

A warning to anyone using Wise or thinking of Wise. Their wonderful AI assistant just told me a flat out lie to get me to deposit money. My account was restricted about a week ago. They held my money and did not transmit in. Then they returned it. So today I go to wise to transfer about 85k baht. I see no notice of restriction. So to double check I open chat and ask is my account restricted. No says the AI assitant, I have checked and there is no restriction. So I do the transfer. Then it flashes up your account is restricted. They have taken the money out of the bank but not sending it. So I ask to speak to a human. Their response, hard luck. The AI assistant got it wrong we can not tell you how long we will hold your money or when we will send it on. In the space of a week thats nearly 200000 baht they have grabbed. Think how many others they are doing it to and earning interest on short term deposits. I suggest everybody switches to Remitly or something else. You simply cannot trust Wise anymore. Even a request to find out how long a restriction lasts is met with a shrug.....its another team, might be ten days, might be weeks.

Is there anyone who can open a bank account for me with an ED visa?

I am looking for someone with connections in the bank to open a bank account with, or someone who is a bank employee. I will pay the fee.

If I open an account at a Kasikorn Bank branch, am I bound to it somehow? can I use any other branch later on? Are there any restrictions in this regard?

Hello everyone, Please i need advice on which bank allow NON O (90 days) Visa to open account in Bangkok or nearby province.

Are there any banks that will allow opening a bank account on dtv? Update: someone posted if you have a good reason like owning a Condominium banks will do it. yes i own one. Anyone know more?

Just to inform Kasikorn Bank account holders. The bank has now moved out of Chaengwattana. The branch is gone and I don't believe there's an ATM. I was told the branch is in a nearby mall, but don't quote me. I needn't explain why that's an inconvenience

Is it risky to request a bank statement while I’m on a DTV visa?

I previously opened my bank account under a different visa. I’m now on a DTV visa and need a bank statement for a visit visa application to another country. Is there any risk in requesting it?

Hi, I’m going into AIS tomorrow to get a Thai phone plan so I can start the process of opening a bank account. I’m hoping someone can give me some advice re what type of plan I need to get? Will a pre paid plan be accepted? Or do I need to sign up for a monthly plan? And if so, how do I pay for it if I don’t have a bank account? Thanks very much for any advice 😊
