Remitly

The first time that you make a transfer they will process it relatively smoothly, specially if it is a small amount. The second time they will get you. They disappear with your money and you will be dragged into a nightmare, dealing with customer services agents that are totally incompetent, barely speak English, and are trained to repeat the same thing over and over with the only intend to tire you out, and make you give up. Even if you send them written formal requests for an explanation, they will never respond. You will have to take them to court, which most people can't afford to to, or most likely, you will just give up. End result: Remitly wins, you lose!

Remitly is totally Fraud.
Remitly charged me money for my transaction. They took my money from Australia bank account on 21st Apr 2022 and till now they did not transfered money to my Indian account. Called Customer support three times but proper response from them.

But Remitly is a pure fraud. Please keep you and your loved ones away from Remilty fraud.

Had an account for several years. Use it once in a while. Tried to login after a month. Was unable to because, there had been suspicious behavior. I thought I was hacked. Contacted support.
Sir your account is suspended. Why if I may ask, I had no signal/warning there was something wrong with my account Never had any problem.? Remitly: Because Reasons. What Reasons? Remitly: Sir read our User Agreement. Yes but what exactly did I do wrong? Sir your account is suspended and can never be reactivated. Have a nice day sir and we want to see you never again.

Never encountered any worse service. Very dystopian experience.

10 days and my money has Still not reached my account. 5 days over and everytume response I get is money is with the recipient bank and we will write them an email to deposit money to your account. This is my last time dealing with them and herein will be advising everyone and everywhere to not use Remitly.
Worst experience!

For a first time customer, Remitly offered the same rate for express sending as economy. Believing this, I did a money transfer overseas using the express option. However, while sending the money Remitly changed the sending speed to economy without any notification. Also they have a very small sending limit and totally useless rules that make it so inconvenient for people sending money for urgent and dire needs.

Don't Use Remitly. This company is scam. Their customer service is worst don't know where the money is. They hung up whenever we called them to ask about our money. Spread this don't use Remitly, we are having a hell of bad time. They give you hours and hours of time and still no positive answer from them. I don't want to give any rating they are not worthy for it. Please guys don't fall for these scammers they are cheaters, liars,
The moment you ask for manager they cut off the call immediately.

I created my account (providing all information requested) and then started to make transfer. I got message that I can't do transfer until I provide ID! I already created account and provided all required! For ID this time they requested a video of my self while talking! When I asked why it was not requested while I was creating my account - no answer. When I asked to provide me with the a legal document stating this requirement - no answer. Do not get me wrong, I got a lot of talking, but no answers. You also can't delete your account or remove some of your personal information. It is also not clear (I got conflicting answers from different people) if your personal info permanently deleted from there data or stays there after THEY delete your account at your request. I am waiting on confirmation that they deleted my account and my personal info...

Avoid Remitly at all costs. My experience with them has been extremely dissappointing. Transfers are put on hold for an inordinate amount of time. When speaking to them, they ask unneccessary and highly intrusive questions, and also ask for potentially sensitive financial information. I have never in my life experienced being asked by a service company such probing questions that border on offensive like Remitly has. Transfers are slow, and do not arrive on time. Refunds are held and at times never sent. They are without a doubt, the worst money transfer service I have dealt with.

My mom send money to india, they took the money out of my mom's account and than the money was never transferred to the Indian account which we provided, upon inquiring with their customer service, we have been told that my mom's account has been deactivated. I am on hold trying to figure out when we will get the money back in our account. They are scammers please don't send your hard earned money through them.

One of the worst Companies i ever had to deal with, I sent over $3,000,00 overseas to my Family in Pakistan, The app said transaction was complete and the money was deposited in the account, However
I called just to find out that money was never deposited into the account.
I called the telephone number that they had provided to me, Customer service told me that account number was incorrect but inf act it was correct. No help no supervisor to speak to this is a shady operation. I would never recommend anyone to do business with this company

I have sent $500 to my family. Remitly sent me email confirmation that money been deposited to bank account. But my recipient told me it wasn't deposited. I have contacted Remitly several time, every time they said within 3 days they will fix it. But it's been almost 2 months and didn't get my money back. After reading all this review it's seems like they are thieve. Take people money and runaway.

Worst customer service
I lost 1000 £ and no support at all, every call and email asking you to wait.

Simply they are telling we are not responsible we sent the money but if received or no, they cannot confirm and they cannot take any action

Update

As I expected, after the below message from Remitly nobody contacted me

I have called them and action as well

I Have never seen a remittance company this bad. My first transfer they asked why.
My second transfer they asked for more proof

They have my passport + licence + bank statement + proof of send (My wife)

They Canceled my second transfer after sending my ID and bank statement and pointed me to the terms and conditions. My account was disabled which also disables Live chat, Email support and Phone support.

If i can't send to my wife, why does this site even exist?

Useless company, do not trust them with your money.

I and my kids had created an account to send money to my husband stuck in Dominican Republic just to find out that they canceled all of our account without a reason that it was internal coulr not say to why. Very bad company after days trying went thru Ria very good company.

They canceled my transaction and I had to call and find out why. I provided them with all the information they requested, but they still canceled my account. I made the exact same payment the month prior with no problem. Now all of a sudden it violates service, even though the terms say I can use it for this service. I was referred to them by my friend who uses them for over a year to pay the same person. Their company is trash and then they take over 2 weeks to refund your money if they refund it all. Worst company. Save yourself the trouble and use Western Union.

I make a mistake by sending my wife some money through remitly.
I send money through Zoom and get the cash delivery whiting hours, but wanted to try remitly and didn't like that the transfer will take 9 days to be delivered to my wife and got notified of the delivery timing until after y summit it and got my transaction receipt. 3 days later I was told by a representative that it does take that long because of I set up my account with my bank info, no with my credit or debit card. Thumbs down to REMITLY.

I tried to increase my tier level to be able to give support to people in Nepal. I put charity /aid as it is aid that I am giving. Not to a charity.
They suspended my account and said I needed to call in. 7 hours calling from Nepal and they then would not get a manager on to speak with me, as they said it is their policy not to allow to send to charities. I said it is support. Could I change my answer as it is more support than charity and they refused. So I asked to speak to a manager. No manager came in the line after 5 minutes I hung up. Unbelievably poor service. Do not use! If I could give 0 stars I would
