Is that a 2006 requirement ? My bank said nothing about sterling transfers.
In December I transferred €30k in 2 parts (to keep under the Thai anti ML paperwork requirements >75k/B ?) . RBSI called me back and said thats ok but from 2006 they need a full IBAN ID of the recieving bank and documentary reason for the transfer. That was a new ECB rule for € tfr. For £ they said all is ok, so I can send upto £10k without hitting the redlight in Thailand just by signing Swift form.
BTW thats banking in IoM....a bit different than UK
For internet banking I still cannot get it activated on my BKKBank account as my visa is not the right one (yet) ... but i did get it on the GF a/c and I log in to check her account. As most banks do with electronic banking , any transfer OUT require the details of the recipient to be registered by real paperwork first.
Also in Loei I went to BKKBank with Lawyer and builder to take out 1st deposit ( DONT ASK!) ... they took copy of my passport and only after signing that copy and them checking did I get the cash. So I am happy with the security on my account.....
