FAQ
1. What is the International ACH Transaction (IAT)?
The IAT is a special code for electronic funds transfers for international payments. Bangkok Bank’s New York branch, as a financial institution that provides an international funds transfer service, must comply with regulations to monitor and screen international money transfers according to the policies and regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) under NACHA rules.
2. How can the sender know if the remitting bank offers internet banking services in IAT format?
The sender should ask for advice directly from their bank as some banks in the US may not provide the International ACH through their internet banking service.
If the remitting bank cannot provide the service, Bangkok Bank offers THB Foreign Remittance Service, in which the sender can request the US local bank to issue a cheque, deposit it in an account at Bangkok Bank’s New York branch, then remit it to Thailand. View details.
3. How much does it cost for transferring funds from the United States via the US ACH system?
Fees depend on the amount transferred per transaction. More details can be found in the fee table.
4. What currency will the recipient in Thailand receive, and what exchange rate will be used?
The recipient in Thailand will receive the funds in Thai baht at the "Buying TT Rate" of Bangkok Bank in Thailand.
4.1. For transactions equivalent to less than 1,000,000 baht per transaction:
- On Bangkok Bank business days in Thailand, the first exchange rate announced by the Bank on the date the funds are credited to the account will be used.
- On Bangkok Bank holidays in Thailand, the last exchange rate announced by the Bank on the business day before the holiday will be used.
4.2. For transactions equivalent to 1,000,000 baht or more per transaction, the exchange rate announced by the Bank at the time the funds are credited to the account will be used.
5. How long will it take for the recipient in Thailand to receive the funds?
The Bank will credit funds to the recipient's account in Thailand once the Bank receives a complete and correct payment instruction. The recipient should receive the funds within 1-2 working days. If the Bank receives an incomplete or incorrect payment instruction, the Bank will need to contact the sender’s bank to request the additional information. This may cause a delay in crediting funds to the recipient’s account.
