  • You can make transfers directly online via the internet banking service provided by your own bank in the US.
  • The recipient will get a better conversion rate for their funds because the USD amount will be converted to Thai Baht at the daily Bangkok Bank exchange rate in Thailand.
  • Funds will be received in Thailand within two business days after our New York branch receives the money transfer from your US bank account.
  • You can check your inwards funds transfer via Bualuang iBanking for personal accounts, Biz iBanking for business accounts, or Bualuang Phone 1333 or (66) 0-2645-5555.

How to use the service

  1. You can initiate the transaction via the internet banking service linked to your US bank account. In general, the process to complete this is as follows:
    - Go to the Domestic Interbank Transfer menu
    - Go to the Inter Institution Transfers option
    - Select Bangkok Bank’s New York branch as the recipient bank
         - Enter the 9-digit routing number of Bangkok Bank’s New York branch as 026008691  
         - Enter the bank name as Bangkok Bank, New York branch
         - Enter the 10-digit account number of the recipient with an account at Bangkok Bank in
           Thailand 
         - Enter the name of the recipient account in Thailand, if required.

    You should check with your US bank for the correct transfer menu for ACH payment. The terms and conditions of internet banking services may vary between banks. You should read all related terms and conditions of your account carefully before initiating any transaction. Bangkok Bank is not involved in the provision of internet banking services by banks in the US.

  2. After the registration process, the US bank will initiate two trial deposits by sending small amounts of less than USD 1.00 to the recipient’s bank account in Thailand. This is to verify that the recipient account is valid. The bank in the US will send an email asking the recipient to check and confirm the trial deposit amounts.

    The sending of trial deposit amounts depends upon the terms and conditions of the originating banks in the US and may vary from bank to bank. Bangkok Bank will be able to credit the recipient’s account in Thailand only when the name and account number of the recipient in the transfer instruction matches the name and account number at Bangkok Bank.

  3. You will then need to ask the recipient in Thailand to check the exact amount of the two trial deposits. The recipient can do this by calling Bualuang Phone on 1333 or (66) 0-2645-5555.

    Using the information provided by the recipient, you will be asked by the bank in the US to confirm the exact amount of the trial deposits. If this is correctly confirmed by you, the funds transfer can be made.

    If you live in the US and want to transfer funds to your Bangkok Bank account in Thailand, you should advise Bangkok Bank of your contact email address, telephone number and full street address in the US by sending an email to: investigation.pmt@bbl.co.th. This will allow Bangkok Bank to contact you for more information if an incomplete payment instruction is received.
