  1. A refund is not showing on my statement. What can I do?

If the company tells you they will refund you, we must wait 15 days to see if that refund does show on your account. If it hasn’t been 15 days yet, we recommend that you discuss your concerns with the company.

We recommend that you try to resolve these issues with the company in question first; they may already be aware of the problem and be happy to resolve the issue for you.

If you don’t receive a refund after 30 days from the date on your refund voucher, we will require a few things from you to enable us to review your dispute:

  • A full written summary of your dispute including confirmation of how you have attempted to resolve with the company and details of any response given.
  • A copy of the refund voucher showing at leastthe last 4 digits of the card refunded, the date of the refund and the amount of the refund. If you do not have a refund voucher, we suggest you raise your concern with the company.

Once we receive the documentation, we will be happy to assist. We recommend that you only send in photocopies of receipts and invoices.

  1. What are pending transactions?

Pending transactions – which Internet Banking customers can view on the home page of their statement - are paid-in cheques being processed, plus card transactions you’ve authorised that haven’t been taken from your account balance.

To help you manage your money, pending card transactions are deducted from your ‘available funds’, which also includes any planned overdraft. Please bear in mind most contactless payments won’t appear as pending transactions – they will show in the main section of your statement within a few days.

If you dispute a pending transaction, we can only investigate it once it shows on your main statement page when we’ll be able to provide more information about it.

We developed a better services and system under our own language to provide the best service for Thai people in the UK. Since starting, the company has grown from a tiny unknown company to a most admired and talked about UK-Thailand FX Broker Company in the UK. We set up ‘’A&B General Group (Thailand) Ltd’’ as a company name for the purpose of processing local payment in Thailand by connecting orders from our branch in UK, Europe and USA only. A&B General Group Ltd, does not operate services from a local customer in Thailand.

2008

We studied the Rules and Regulations and the possibility of operating the business in the UK. We observed particularly at the system of most banks and money exchange shops on high-street. We learnt that we could do so much more and even better. We came across the thought of ‘’if we can save customers money on the transfer fee and provide them with a higher exchange rate as well as a faster process under our own language then we would be on a superior side’’ and if we could do that, customers won’t be losing any more money on hidden fees. We were aware that there will definitely be hurdle but we never gave up. We strongly believe that this would make a massive change for the first time in the UK to a FX Broker market amongst Thai people.

2009

We set up A&B General (UK) Ltd in London, England under Financial Conduct Authority Licence, providing services on FX and currency exchange. This had made us the first Thai owned FX Broker institution in the UK. We operate under the trading name of ‘’A&B Money” as given to us by customers. We also learned from customer reviews, developed as well as made changes according to customers’ needs in order to improve our current products and services.

2010

We were fully aware that we have just started a company and was slowly growing.Obviously there were many obstacles, especially in 2010 from our main competitors like Western Union and Money Gram. Many of those companies offered us very interesting Terms & Conditions as they would make us under their mandate or in other words “Sub Agent”. Although we were very small at the time we did politely refused their offer and conditions because we always wanted to stand by ourselves and adhere on the thoughts of our own.

2011

From our honestly, endurance and hard work, the company has grown rapidly with unique, faster and better valued as a FX Broker company under the use our own language. We have compared different methods and services that were available in the FX services market at the time and selected the best ones to provide our customers with outstanding service. And by 2011 the name ‘’A&B Money’’ became the talk of the town regarding FX services amongst Thai communities around the UK.

2012

We set up A&B General USA Inc in Chicago, Illinois under Bank Regulations in the United States in both the Federal and State levels providing FX services between Thailand and USA. It was a big and important step for as we have reached a third continent and finally got a chance to deal with US dollars. We were hoping that open such a market in America where the Thai population is exceeding 300,000 would be quite successful and in another hand it would also be much more competitive than the UK. We were surprised as we later found out that we were the only main USA-Thailand FX Broker company and that we were the first Thai owned company to do so in America.

2013

Due to the financial crisis and economy downturn in Europe and the UK’s inflation problem in 2013, the UK government has introduced tougher rules and tightened up regulations for FX services business, resulting in the closure of as many as 300 related companies. But with the hard work and efforts that we put through that time, we managed to avoid being scraped by the tougher rules and regulations that were placed by the government. The Regulator even complimented our system that was made and developed by us and praised the way we worked on anti-money laundering checking as well as our database system.

2014

We were the first and only Thai FX Broker company who got invited to join the UKPI Group, an exclusive group where we can share and exchange the news and information about FX services business. That was the beginning of the idea of expanding our company to into other countries in Europe. Not long after that we have been introduced a newly and effectively Card Payment system by a top UK company meaning that we could take a payment from any bank card in the world. It was the first time that we could open a Card Payment system for Thai people abroad. It is unusual, as most Merchant companies would not open this sort of facility to a FX Broker company.

Type of money transfer

   On our long journey of cross border payments and money transfer company, we learnt a lot about banking structure and system of large corporate like Visa and Master Card. The experience from all those years helped us visualised many possibilities and we picked aswell as adapted the best ideas and what we thought is right for Thai people under our language.

There are many different ways to transfer money abroad, both Bank and Non-Bank

Different types of Banking System

Electronic transfer is understood by many as 'Online Banking' but they are classified into several systems.

   This is an electronic system to make payments directly from one bank account to another. They're mainly used for Direct Debits and direct credits from organisations. The payments take 3 working days to clear, so money paid into your account on Monday will clear on Wednesday.

   Faster Payments Service (FPS) is a UK banking initiative introduced in 2002 by Barclays/ HSBC/ RBS to reduce payment times between different banks' customer accounts in fewer than 2 hours, and can be made same day – as long as both banks are part of the Faster Payments Service Although most electronic payments sent through Faster Payments will arrive at the recipient bank on the same day, this isn’t guaranteed.

   This guarantees same-day payment – so long as the instructions are received by certain time limited on a working day. It is suitable for buying a property or large business transfer. There’s no limit to the amount of money you can send, although there is a fee for this service depending on your bank.

   SWIFT stands for Society for Worldwide InterBank Financial Telecommunications. You can make a SWIFT payment to transfer money overseas or within the UK in a currency other than Sterling. It is sometimes Cross Boarder Fund. The SWIFT international payment network is one of the largest financial messaging systems in the world.

   SWIFT payments usually take 1-3 working days to reach their destination, however it is possible that they can take longer due to circumstances such as time differences between the sending and receiving country.

Non-Bank system or private companies/ organisations with licenses under the Ministry of Finance

   Payment gateway is a merchant service provided by an e-commerce application service provider that authorises debit/ credit card from major providers such as Visa/ Master Card/ AMEX/ Maestro or direct payments processing for e-businesses or online retailers (Amazon& e-Bay) etc. It is software and server that transmit Transaction information to Acquiring Banks and responses from Issuing Banks (such as whether a transaction is approved or declined). Essentially, Payment Gateways facilitate communication within banks.

   P2P is electronic money transfer made from one person to another through an intermediary, typically referred to as a P2P payment application. P2P payments can be sent and received via mobile device or any home computer with access to the Internet, offering a convenient alternative to traditional payment methods.

   World’s leading P2P electronic money transfer companies like Western Union/ Money Gram/ Travelex have their branch all over the globe. They mostly use convenience shop and stores as their agent or representors.

   E-wallet was founded in 2014 after the European Economic Crisis and radical change in anti-money laundering mostly against cash from bank regulators around the world.

   E-wallet is one of the innovations of Fintech technology. It is an online prepaid account where one can stock money, to be used when required. As it is a pre-loaded facility, consumers can buy a range of products from airline tickets to grocery without swiping a debit or credit card.

   E-wallet is an easy and safe way of transferring money under the bank supervision. The money can be loaded from your bank account into E-wallet system; hence it is called ‘E-Money’ or Electronic Money. The user will have set up a password in order to log in to the system. For example even if your mobile got stolen, the money will remain in the system. The user can download the application again and can check balance aswell as make normal transaction.

  You will receive a ‘’Member Code’’ and our bank details through your email after the registration process has been completed. After you have received our bank account details you can transfer from your UK account into our account by either Internet/Online Banking, Telephone Banking or at Bank Counter at your nearest branch, and then let us know how much you transferred to us and let us know your bank details. We will know immediately that the money is your money by checking the amount and bank details you provided. Once we checked the details and they are matched with your records we will transfer the money into your beneficiary account and will send you a payment confirmation.

How to order your payment?

1. Contact us on during our opening hours to order your payment. There you will have to provide us with the amount you wish to transfer and the beneficiary account details.
