Does anyone know of an a/c in UK. that will allow me to transfer funds via i/net??
At the moment it isn't a problem as i'm in the uk. but when i move to LOS. i'll need to be able to transfer money over at about 3 month intervals.
I've checked out a few banks in uk. but can't find any that offer i/net transfers to LOS.
Thanks.

I know it is not related to internet banking, but it could be a useful way of getting money out to Thailand for you. The assumption here is that it is for living expenses etc, which means amounts won't be very high. It also means that you don't have to rely on Thai banks - apart from their ATMs working. With a cheap call to the UK, which is easily done over there, it should be possible to transfer the money from your bank to the Post Office card and then you use the it in an ATM as and when you need money. I plan to do this when I come over next year for extended periods and my TG already has a card which I top up from time to time.
Aside from that, forget NatWest as I have asked and they don't do it through internet banking. I have asked but they tell me that I must submit payment requests in writing to them in order to use their international "standard transfer" facilities.
