good chance the pound may get to 46 today 45.77 on wise at moment.
I got the same message on Jan 6th. I had planned to send some dosh and since I am with Krung Thai I decided to do it there and then. More than B50K.
The app said it would arrive on the 7th, so I clicked OK. Then it changed to the 10th. Here we are on the 10th and no progress on the transfer. I don't know where it is, no update from Wise.
In fairness, the delay is probably not their fault, although the lack of information is.
Last time I sent funds the cash was in my Krung Thai account within 2 minutes of me clicking OK.
Same here today, sending money usually takes two mins, said this time would take 32 minutes that was 2 hours ago
Sorry i missed your reply Shu. They have since amended the message to include Bangkok Bank which i use. I have not sent any yet but i did try googling to see if there was anything on the net about this but nada.
Wise seem to be getting worse.
My last transfer took 3 days despite it suggesting it would be there in 2 hours at the point of transaction. They said it was a standard check they were required to perform. I contacted them to say of i'd known it would take 3 days i would have used another avenue but as expected they said there was nothing they can do.
I am looking into other companies, not necessarily to switch from wise but to have a fall back given their recent shaky performance.

My funds did eventually arrive in the Krung Thai account on the 10th. This was after the 7th, obviously, and over B50K, but it went through okay, if somewhat slower than usual. I gave them some feedback about that.
I have a Bangkok Bank account. Maybe I'll use that next time, just to avoid any difficulty, even though I don't understand what the difficulty is.
I read that some Immigration officers have been unhappy about Wise transfers for those retirees using monthly transfers. It is sort of true to say that the transfer itself is domestic, although the net effect is still bringing funds into Thailand. Perhaps these things are all connected, although why the rules should be different for different banks is a bit of a mystery.
Yes, i can't remember the poster now but there was a thread where, i think headhunter was complaining about renewals and someone mentioned they had issues with Wise transfers not showing as foreign transfers-in and that they got their bank to code all wise transfers as foreign to solve the overseas income issue.
If i have time later i'll try to hunt it down, although with this forum software it might be a needle haystack issue.
