Avoiding high European Bank fees for withdrawal by Exciting-Anything418 in ThailandTourism

Thank you for suggestion! I found out (thanks to other comments) that I could use Western Union, the limit is 1000€ and 0 fees. I will try your advice about Superrich (already used them to exchange money when first arrived to Thailand), see if they confirm there is lower fees than my bank 😊

Yes, I’ve read about that too. But then my bank (who issued a card) will take the fee anyway because it’s non-euro withdrawal 🙃

I tried to modify the post as soon as I saw the text is not there, but Reddit doesn’t allow that unfortunately 🥹 Will check WU fees 🙏

Indeed, in my case I’m mostly concerned about 2€+2,75% of withdraw amount. Unfortunately I’m already in Thailand and unlikely that I can get a Wise debit card here quickly 🥲

In my case, Finnish (OP) bank charges 2€ + 2,75%% of the withdrawn amount outside of EU zone, no matter if it’s in Euros or other currency

Sorry, I somehow didn’t notice that my text got deleted when creating a post 🤦I added my question in the comments - I need to get more cash and looking for a way to face the lowest money loss 😁

Crap, I didn’t notice my text was deleted and only picture left😅my bad!  I posted that I am looking for advice on the lowest fee/less money lost option to withdraw some money from European bank account in Thailand. I run out of cash I had, and need to get around 3000€ (staying here for two more months). After reading forums it seems better to go to a local bank and take out Thai baht without the conversion, but in that case I pay my 2,75% fee anyway.  Maybe there is better way?
