How to use OCBCTHBK for a transfer
Give the sender two things: the BIC OCBCTHBK (or OCBCTHBKXXX if the form asks for 11 characters) and your account number at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited, Bangkok Branch. In Thailand the account number is the local one shown on the statement. Check both on your bank statement before sending a large amount: a wrong code delays the transfer or sends it back with fees.
The BIC (Business Identifier Code), commonly called SWIFT code, identifies a bank or institution in international payments. It has 8 or 11 characters: 4 letters for the institution, 2 for the country, 2 for the location, and an optional 3 for the branch. XXX, or no branch code at all, means the head office.
