ASEAN NOW Sales Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Traveling to Thailand with Crypto? Withdraw in cash at local ATM with no extra charge. No card required. Targeting financial services to expat, digital nomad and cryptocurrency communities, the fintech challenger Everex.io came with a new and interesting service of using blockchain for instant cross-border transfer and domestic money exchange. Serving currency corridors between USD, EUR, crypto and THB, Everex offers huge savings on currency exchange, transfers, and most importantly, free cardless ATM withdrawals. When you run out of cash and it’s time to get a new stash, that’s when most of us get caught with 200-220 THB ATM international withdrawal fees that are charged by banks on the top of the currency exchange rate, which may reach additional 4-5%. Everex found a way to deliver THB only for around 1% over interbank currency conversion rates. There are no additional fees or commission, whether you do transfer to Thai bank account or request cardless ATM withdrawal. And what’s cool is а real same day delivery and no withdrawal fees. Bank account or card is not required to use this service. How it Works Sign up and verify your identity. After verification, add THB to your wallet by depositing the quoted amount in EUR or USD. If you are a crypto friendly person, you can use DAI (USD) or EVX token to send to your wallet address. Once Everex team receives your funds, THB will appear in your Everex wallet within minutes. If you transfer EVX or DAI it will appear on your Everex balance automatically. To receive cash in THB, locate Withdrawal function in the wallet and specify how you want to receive it: via ATM or Thai bank account. If you select Cardless ATM, note that there is 20,000 THB limit per transaction. For bank account withdrawal the limit is 30,000 THB. No bank account or card is required for ATM withdrawals. Nor you will pay any withdrawal fees. This service is available in any major city in Thailand, including Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Chiang Mai and other popular destinations. Do you first transfer with Everex Wallet. For more details visit Everex site. Get the app |> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can convert crypto to EVX, DAI or USDC and then transfer to Everex Wallet first. When making payments, you can exchange your assets to THB in the wallet and withdraw via Cardless ATM or Bank Transfer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain and I might thus register but at the moment I dont understand. Basically the article instructs to deposit stablecoins (DAI, USDC) or crypto (EVX) in the wallet that can also be bought with fiat, and convert into THB, USD or EUR when needed. Crypto and stablecoins can be transferred to popular crypto exchanges as well, thereby the wallet serves as Fiat-crypto gateway.

Yme Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Be careful with this mob. I dealt with a similar mob and they wanted full reproduction quality photos of passport, electricity bill/ bank account/ drivers licence. The same requirements as Payoneer, who I also won't use over the risk of identity theft. Edited September 24, 2019 by Yme 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electricity bill/ bank account/ drivers licence are not required and never asked by Everex Wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangsomm Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 2 hours ago, wombat said: how does that work ? If you hold crypto, you can exchange it for USDC/DAI/EVX and send to Everex Wallet; which you can either withdraw to your Thai/US/European bank account or via ATM in Thailand. ATM withdrawal in Thailand is cardless, meaning you will use reference codes provided by Everex to withdraw from ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everex delivers THB for around 1% over inter-bank currency conversion rates. Also you can transfer to/from exchanges that accept USDC/DAI/EVX for free. So you can certainly profit from arbitrage using Everex wallet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denby45 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Why bother with all that hassle when Transferwise is around half of one percent total cost? I tried the crypto way already. It's very expensive. Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like a very dodgy scam I will not ever use these volatile instruments or their pump and dump scammers who fleece retail investors Transferwise, or interbank wire transfer works fine.

Don't need crypto its a total con Good for you but some of us either bought a stack long ago and did not dump, get paid or run business that accept bitcoin payment. In my case transfewise would not work at all and I don't have a bank account outside Thailand to wire from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need crypto its a total con I don't view it as a scam although it may well be. I don't care really because I use it for gambling. Trying to buy low and sell high. It's very volatile so good for playing and you need that volatility to make any gains. I found the turnaround baht-bitcoin-baht is rather expensive. Maybe I am using an exchange that overcharges and has large spread but I believe it is no different than others. Certainly my set up is not good for exchanging money. The charges and spreads actually defeat the object of crypto's so unless the exchanges can get their charges to a more reasonable level then I do not see it taking over from banks.

Tayaout Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) ^^ In this case they don't ask for your address. Only passport and phone number. It's not recommended to reuse the same address and most wallets send change to a new address automatically. You can also use decoy account with a ledger wallet for example. "Plausible deniability To protect yourself in case of physical threat, make sure your primary PIN code unlocks only a minor part of your crypto assets. Then set up a passphrase attached to a PIN code and store more significant amount of crypto assets on the passphrase-protected accounts. If you are under duress to unlock your Ledger Nano S, you can surrender your main PIN code to the attacker while hiding the PIN code that unlocks your passphrase-protected accounts." https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005214529-Advanced-passphrase-security Edited October 18, 2019 by Tayaout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LillyBangkok Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 We will definitely need a Bitcoin ATM like this one in Florida to withdraw Bitcoin into fiat money.
