Toy Boy Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I just had a look on TW and it's quoting Barclays as being the cheapest to transfer £1,000 into THB. It has a little i widget that tells you if you click on it that they're always honest and want you to know that in this case they're not the cheapest. OK, so unlike TW, Barclays UK don't charge any fees for an online transfer, but as far as I'm aware you've no way of locking in the current exchange rate like you do with TW, and the rate you get will be whatever it is on Monday when they make the transfer. Anybody know better than me how this works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know better than me how this works? Can't see how that could be correct , must be an error from Barclays , market rate is 40.6 , why would they give 42.73 with no fee ..... ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esco Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I've only just found the convert option on TW. So I've immediately converted 2Kish Euro for a net conversion rate after fees of 35,17. Not sure whether its the absolute best out there but it sure is handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lock in a good exchange rate now while your money stays locally until you decide to send to Thailand as needed. Handy for when you frequently send money to family or are sponsoring a bird 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem at this end, mate, though the rate has dropped below 44 again after their commission is deducted. I should have transferred it yesterday evening and got 44.3 net. :kickingself: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to use the app on my iphone which then allows payment using Apple Pay; I find this more convenient than having to log in on websites etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also try selecting the number you want to change using your mouse and then simply type the new number, which should overwrite the old one.

You'd be better buying XRP shares while they're cheap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 As a new customer to Wise today I armed myself with a very nice photo of me holding up my Passport only to be disappointed that they never asked me to send it to them. Maybe sending a whole 380 baht to pay my HDPrime subscription is not considered a major security risk. 🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
