yeah I saw that list already from my remitly app. There was some difficulties with them last week but it was fixed. The list you sent has the bank of Agriculture and agriculture cooperative. That one really surprises me as a lot of Thai people use that bank. I use one of the big banks that is not listed on this list. I was just looking for a secondary Transfer app likewise just as a backup in case I have difficulties with remitly in the future.

I recently had this exact same issue between my bank in Canada and Remitly as the transfer app and receiving in Thailand at Bangkok Bank. I had no problem for 2 years using this procedure. Last week I had three failed attempts two for $25k and one for 15K that needed my attention. It was then known that during the final 15K transfer that for the last 2 years that Bangkok Bank had been accepting my transfers without the use of my middle name as the recipient. That is what caused the issue.Thailand is clamping down on foreign banking due to fraud and scam call centers I'm sure you have all heard. The middle name is on my Bangkok Bank account and until I change the recipient name to include my middle name they were being rejected this was not an issue in the past. When I upgraded the recipient name as it is on my Bangkok bank account to include the middle name there is no longer any issue. Hope you find this helpful good luck
