Re: Money transfers to Thailand from HSBC (UK) - slower and error

Ridiculous and totally useless comment.

Vey simple Davita. This is a discussion forum and it is useful to bring information such as this recent development to the attention of others. You have...

Re: Money transfers to Thailand from HSBC (UK) - slower and error

Sorry, but I disagree. Not going to labour the point longer as it's going round and round in circles.

Re: Money transfers to Thailand from HSBC (UK) - slower and error

No, it's confirmed it IS a charge by HSBC for using an intermediary. To clarify:

1) I am Premier member.

2) I have done literally hundreds of GBP transfers from the same HSBC UK account to...

Re: Money transfers to Thailand from HSBC (UK) - slower and error

Thanks. I intend to switch to using them from now on.

In all honesty I'd probably rarely need to bother with the back calculation, just a rough guesstimate (+ a little for error ) of what I need...

Thumbs up Re: Money transfers to Thailand from HSBC (UK) - slower and error

Been doing some research on transfers since I'm no longer happy to play the game of Russian roulette that's involved in doing transfers from HSBC, even with their 'great value' deal of a flat fee of...

Re: Money transfers to Thailand from HSBC (UK) - slower and error

Well, that confirms it (or at least confirms it enough for me), it's the different BIC that is the only thing I can think of that's causing the transfers to get charged or, the newness of the 'Payee'...

Re: Money transfers to Thailand from HSBC (UK) - slower and error

Quick update FWIW.

As I'd never had this charge before on literally thousands of transfers I was absolutely certain this was just an input error HSBC end; no such luck. HSBC responded to an...

Re: Money transfers to Thailand from HSBC (UK) - slower and error

Thanks. Yeah I've looked at Transferwise before and while the exchange rate is indeed very slightly better it works out to be not that worthwhile for me.

Re: Money transfers to Thailand from HSBC (UK) - slower and error

Re: Money transfers to Thailand from HSBC (UK) - slower and error

Thumbs down Money transfers to Thailand from HSBC (UK) - slower and error
