one of the worst app interfaces with one of the worst customer support. If reliability is your priority never use this app.

Remitly did extremely well and efficiently in the beginning but afterwards they were horrible. Extended delays in the name of verification taking days and days. The delayed is erroneously claimed to increase in funds transfer l strongly recommend not to use this platform.

★★★★ B Bedrosian 7/2/2026
Complete Failure! Don't Believe the 4.8 Stars READ the reviews you'll see plenty of unhappy customers. I have tried to use this app for 2 weeks and to this day I have not been able to. First time I was suspended because I use a VPN - There is no advance notice to users to turn off the VPN. FIX IT! Filling out the form it asks first and last name of the recipient but for second last name it said (optional) so I assumed it's an option. My transfer is now on HOLD AGAIN!
★★★★ Tom M 7/2/2026 v6.68
They advertise a flat rate $1.99 transfer fee but they use a below market exchange rate. A $500 transfer to Vietnam costs $12.42 due to the exchange rate in addition to the $1.99 flat fee. They offer an "economy" transfer with a better exchange rate but every time I select that option, the transaction fails with no explanation.
