yes id guessed as much. Although in the beginning with travelwise i got the impression each country in the operation had cash in the local currency, and the exchange was me paying england in pounds and the travelwise partner paying out in thai baht, allowing them to balance it all up later, and maybe take some advantage of exchange rates. It now seems my english pounds are instantly exchanged thru kasikorn into baht, at the push of a button. Im not complaining, i love wise, makes life super easy. Im just trying to make sense of it )

For the last couple of months my wise transfers in to my bangkok bank account have gone from instant to next day mid afternoon at the earliest, whereas if i transfer into my wifes kasikorn account its still instantaneous. Id assumed wise had changed their method and clearly they have. The payment into the bangkok bank is still marked international so thats a relief. I wonder why wise have changed this, maybe it was to keep their rates as low as possible, or to acheive tge best exchange rate. Either way it still works, still the cheapest, unless someone has discovered a better carrier than wise, but i doubt it ))
