smedly Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I have an FCD Sterling account with Bangkok Bank funded from various Swift transfers from UK Can I transfer this money back to my UK bank in Sterling or what options do I have ? Obviously the source of the money is recorded with Bangkok Bank as coming from the UK so no issues there Can I even withdraw the money in sterling from Bangkok bank if I give them notice ?

They will only give you Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem to withdraw in Sterling but they charge around 2%. https://www.bangkokbank.com/-/media/files/personal/other-services/branch-services/international-branches/fcd_expat.pdf?la=en&hash=1B0B689C0A49EEFBB89232262CF1DAF23FC55920 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't spend it here. Swift transfer it to the UK at 0.25% I have a sterling FCD account with Krungsri. It's the same rate. I can use my FCD debit card to get baht straight out of an ATM with no commission charges and the normal exchange rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
