Send Money from Thailand to Lithuania
From dollars in Thailand to euro on a Lithuanian IBAN
Dollar earners resident in Thailand are the senders on this route. Freelancers in Bangkok invoicing clients overseas, consultants and engineers paid by employers abroad, people keeping a parent or a student supported in Lithuania, and companies in Thailand settling Lithuanian developers and agencies all begin from a US dollar balance.
That balance is where every transfer starts, and Grey works no other way. Lead Bank provides the Grey USD account, complete with US routing and account numbers, so payments from abroad can arrive in it without detour. You then convert dollars into euro inside the app, with the rate, the fee and the euro total laid out before you commit and the rate held the instant you do.
What the Lithuanian end needs is remarkably little. One IBAN carries the payment, which is convenient when the details have been forwarded to you second hand, by a law office or a letting agent for instance, and there is nothing else to chase. Swedbank Lithuania, SEB Lithuania and Luminor Bank are supported, and the three of them cover most Lithuanian households between them. The recipient signs up for nothing: the euro simply appears in the app they already use.

The cost of sending euro to Lithuania
Only part of the cost is ever called a fee. The rest lives in the difference between the rate you are quoted and the rate the market is trading at, and that is where a provider advertising free transfers usually recovers its money. Judging a service by its stated charge alone misses it entirely.
So look at the delivered euro. Push the same dollar amount through Grey and through the alternative you were weighing up, and compare what each one commits to crediting to the Lithuanian account. That single number has the fee and the margin already baked into it.
Nothing further is taken in Lithuania. The account receives euro and holds euro, so the receiving bank has no exchange to perform and no price to set, and the figure confirmed in Thailand is the figure on the Lithuanian statement.

How the dollar to euro conversion works

Grey locks your dollar to euro rate when you confirm the transfer. The market carries on moving afterwards, but the euro figure you were shown is the euro figure credited in Lithuania.
There is one conversion here and no more. Your money is already denominated in dollars, so nothing had to be exchanged before this, and a single rate with a single margin applies rather than two separate ones compounding.
Because the dollars stay dollars until you act, the moment of conversion is yours to pick. A balance in Grey is not turned into euro until you decide to turn it, which is useful when a payment is not urgent and today's rate is unattractive.


How Grey compares with an ordinary bank wire to Lithuania
A traditional wire to Lithuania is routed through correspondent banks, picking up cut-off times, non-working days and charges along the way, and those charges often come to light only when the recipient says the amount looks short. Grey sends from dollars you already hold and credits the Lithuanian IBAN in euro, so the confirmed figure is the figure to expect.
There is also far less to collect from the recipient. A wire wants intermediary and routing details; this needs one IBAN. Payments run over SEPA, using SEPA Instant where the receiving bank offers it, and once the dollars are in place the euro usually appears within minutes, with the status visible in your app throughout.
