Furthermore, they are fast and allow for a wide variety of payment and receipt methods, including cash. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the price difference is too large when you want to change your payment method. There's no cost-benefit ratio between the delivery time and the price you pay. > > Using Remitly has been a lifesaver on many occasions when I've needed to send money to my family abroad. It's very intuitive to use, the fees are very competitive, and it inspires confidence. ----- ### "Worst remittance company" — 1.0/5 > **Lilia** | *10 February 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I don’t like this company anymore. They can’t resolve issues and problems with scammers\! Their website is not safe. > > **Cons**: Horrible experience with this company. My account was hacked by a scammer which speaks Tagalog. He was able to get all the information of my Remitly account and transfer money to a recipient under my family member and transferred all the funds to BDO bank I. The Philippines. Not a safe company. > > Worst customer service. They are not helpful and don’t care about the money that was scammed\!\! ----- ### "Can't recommend for critical and important transfers." — 1.0/5 > **Norah** | *28 December 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Well, when I started using them, it wasn't this year but they had deteriorated over the years, and haven't been able to solve their problems. > > **Cons**: I had a terrible customer support experience, what was presented as a fast, reliable transfer turned into chaos, extremely frustrating back and forth. > > I had a very poor experience with Remitly. What was presented as a fast, reliable transfer turned into delays, confusion, and extremely frustrating customer support with them not only repeatedly requesting additional banking and incorporation documents but repeatedly saying I had not provided it, even though I sent it in more than once. I never did receive fund and was stranded on the highway with it looking like we were going to miss Christmas with our family. My funds were held up without clear explanation, timelines kept changing, and getting accurate information from support was not forthcoming even when they transferred me to a Manager. This created unnecessary stress, especially since money transfers are time sensitive and require trust. While Remitly markets speed and reliability, my experience did not reflect that at all. After 6 days I finally gave up and am now using Wise. Transparency was lacking with Remitly, and the resolution process felt slow and impersonal. Based on this experience, I would not rely on Remitly again for important or time critical transfers. ----- ### "THIS APP IS FRADULENT" — 1.0/5 > **Jasmine** | *04 October 2024* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The way they have affiliated themselves with fraudulent banks in Africa. > > **Cons**: 🚨 Beware of Remitly 🚨 One of those apps that gains your trust with a few successful transfers, then slowly starts siphoning your money. It’s been two weeks since I sent $220, and the recipient still hasn’t received it. Remitly claims to be safe, but it’s the most fraudulent site I’ve ever used. > > Deceitful and shameful. Misguiding and riddled with traps ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/1016819/remitly?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/1016819/remitly) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
