Send Money from Thailand to Italy
Dollar earners in Thailand with Italian commitments use this route: remote workers paying Italian collaborators, companies settling suppliers in Milan or Naples, and people meeting family, property or legal costs in Italy. The payment lands as euro in an Italian bank account, with nothing converted on arrival.

From dollars in Thailand to an Italian IBAN
The senders on this corridor hold dollars and owe euro. Some are consultants in Bangkok who contract part of a project to a studio in Turin. Some run Thailand-based firms buying components, textiles or food products from Italian suppliers. Others are settling an estate, a property charge or a family obligation in Italy from income earned a continent away.
Dollars are the only thing Grey moves on your behalf. The USD account in Grey is provided by Lead Bank and carries US routing and account numbers, so an employer, client or platform abroad can pay directly into it. When you decide to send, those dollars become euro once, at the rate you were shown.
Italy uses the euro, so the payout needs no second conversion and the amount credited is the amount sent. Intesa Sanpaolo, UniCredit, Banco BPM and Cassa Depositi e Prestiti all receive, together with other Italian banks, and the IT IBAN is the single routing detail you supply. It is worth reading back character by character, particularly when it has reached you second hand.
How to send money to Italy from Thailand
Sign up
Register in the Grey app from your phone and verify your identity using a passport or another accepted photo identity document. Grey Inc is registered with FinCEN, registered address 651 N Broad St, Suite 206, Middletown, DE 19709, United States.
Fund
US routing and account numbers come with the Lead Bank USD account in Grey. Share them with a client, an employer or a marketplace, or wire dollars over from another bank where you hold a dollar account. Italian payouts come out of that dollar balance.
Send
Choose Italy and enter the IT IBAN carefully. The euro total, the rate used and the fee appear on the same screen, and confirming the transfer is what fixes all three.
The cost of sending euro to an Italian account
Cost arrives in two parts and only one carries a label. The second is the margin inside the exchange rate, charged quietly on every conversion. This is why a transfer promoted as free can leave less euro in the Italian account than one with a stated fee attached to it.
Settle the question with the payout figure. Price the same dollar amount through Grey and through the alternative, then compare the euro each one undertakes to deliver. Both the fee and the margin are inside that single number, so it cannot be gamed by moving the charge around.
A wire through correspondent banks sits outside this comparison. Each bank in the chain may take something as the payment passes, and the euro posted in Milan can be less than the euro instructed from Thailand. Grey states the euro figure in advance and pays it.
A recurring payment carries that margin forward into every cycle. A supplier billed monthly, a management charge on a property, or a standing family commitment all repeat the same cost, so it is worth checking the numbers properly once rather than approximately every time.
Where a rate comes into an Italian transfer
A rate applies because you are starting in dollars and finishing in euro. Grey fixes it at confirmation, so movement in the market afterwards does not change what the Italian account receives.
There is exactly one conversion in the chain. Dollars you already hold go straight into euro, which keeps a single margin on the transfer rather than one charge layered over another.
Nothing converts until you choose to convert it. A dollar balance can sit in Grey while you watch the rate, and the euro is only bought at the moment you decide the level is acceptable.
Grey measured against an ordinary bank wire to Italy
Wiring euro to Italy through correspondent banks introduces delays and deductions you cannot see in advance, because each institution in the chain applies its own cut-off times and charges. Grey completes the payment over SEPA, the shared European rails, so it settles as a normal euro credit in the recipient's statement.
What that buys you is predictability. Transfers made from a funded Grey balance typically reach Italian accounts within minutes, and where the Italian bank is on SEPA Instant settlement is quicker still. You follow the payment in the app instead of chasing a reference through a branch.
What your recipient in Italy sees
Euro posts to the Italian bank account your recipient already holds. They join nothing, download nothing and collect nothing in person.
Which accounts receive it
Intesa Sanpaolo, UniCredit, Banco BPM and Cassa Depositi e Prestiti all accept the credit, as do other Italian banks. Only the IT IBAN is required.
How quickly it lands
Sent from a funded balance, transfers to Italian accounts typically arrive within minutes, and faster again where the receiving bank supports SEPA Instant.
GreyTag
Where the payee is already a Grey user, their GreyTag works in place of the IBAN. That transfer is instant and costs nothing, in any currency.
How to fund a transfer to Italy
Euro cannot leave until dollars have arrived, which makes funding the step that really sets the pace of an Italian payment.
Income paid straight in
Once a client or employer has the USD account details, everything they pay afterwards reaches Grey without further instruction.
Dollar wire
The routing and account numbers in the app allow a transfer of dollars from another bank account in your name.
Dollars already in place
A balance in Grey converts the moment you ask it to, which removes any wait before the euro can be sent.
Regular senders to Italy usually hold a working balance instead of funding transfer by transfer. Italian payment terms run to their own calendar and seldom match the day your own invoices are settled, and dollars already held mean the euro goes out on the due date rather than after a wait.
Who sends money from Thailand to Italy
Remote workers and freelancers
Developers, designers and consultants based in Thailand who invoice abroad in dollars and pay Italian subcontractors from the same account.
Businesses buying from Italy
Thailand-based firms paying Italian manufacturers, food producers and design houses, often settling several invoices at once.
Professionals on a dollar salary
Residents of Thailand employed by a company abroad who send a portion of each payment to an Italian account.
Property and family obligations
People meeting condominium charges, tuition, legal fees or regular support for relatives living in Italy.
Everyone on this corridor is paid in US dollars while living or trading in Thailand. Remote workers come first, then companies with Italian suppliers, then employees on a foreign payroll, then households with property or family costs in Italy.
