Sending money through Remitly is a breeze, hassle-free. It leaves the traditional custodians of financial transactions playing catch-up. All my transfers to my overseas recipients have been received within 20 minutes, even in remote locations. I am very pleased with Remitly. They are reliable and my experience has made me trust them.

If I can able to give I even give a one star. I have transferred my money after nearly 17 hours still money has been to the nominated account . The worse thing is the reason they have mentioned which transfer has been cancelled. I have approved within 1 minutes not 1 hour. Another reason they have mentioned is couldn't find the bank account. What you guys are talking about.

Worse money transfer app. Their licence should be cancelled by AFCA. They suspended mine and my wife's account for no reason and every time we call them, we get a patent reply saying it's escalated and will take 24-48 hours without letting you know what it got suspended. Been over 4 weeks now and still not sorted. Stay away and better use Wise, western union, RIA , world remit

Remitly is the worst app I've ever used to send money abroad. Be very careful with transfers, even with documents, and with the recipient's name not matching the account number. The transaction is completed and it's never their problem. I will never use Remitly again. No security whatsoever.

Deceiving, unreliable dishonest. I was offered a secured rate (spot)I accepted and while was waiting for their verification email the rate was changed. Shocking. There was No transparency, No commitment. Never use these losers again. I wish I had checked these reviews before starting any money transfers with them. It was not a good start for me.… Read more

Maybe you will have a better outcome. I took the risk and I am leaving a honest review in order to warn others. Living and learning I guess. All the best.

Attempted to remit birthday money overseas without success. Remitly requirement to provide bank statement is intrusive. Very difficult to understand its Chat (online and phone) facilities.

 Follow-up  · Transfer was never initiated. Details of a bank statement will show all regular deposits, withdraws, loans, debits, credits, term deposits and other details not relevant to remitting money. Chat was very poor English.

Remitly, I have had no issues with. It is fast it is accurate and even though the exchange rate could improve it remains one of the better money transfer agencies

Fast and reliable. I been using Remitly for few years now through the App. Send money in seconds fast and easy. The rates a bit lower compare to other Company but the reliability, fast and secure is a must for me. The updates about the money that I sent also a big help to ensure the money was sent and received

I would recommend Remitly to anyone interested in transferring money to family and friends in other countries. Their service is reliable, fast and transparent. Their fee charging method is great and very competitive compared to other similar platforms.

Not even worth one star. Remitly advised that my bank declined a transfer. I contacted my bank, they said there was no problem from their end. After blaming the bank a number of times, Remitly advised it was them. How can you trust an organisation that lies to your face????

I have been using this service for over three years and it is so easy to use and always works with no complaints on my part or the other person involved in the transaction. Also, prices so far are reasonable, and i hope they stay that way.

Yesterday I made my 50th overseas transfer with Remitly since May this year. It is an incredibly easy platform to use and the speed the funds arrive at the recipients' bank is incredible - never more than a few minutes, even with a new recipient.

My wife sends money to her family in Thailand. She used to pay an extra $15 In fees and we had to use petrol to go to the city. Now we can sit at home and transfer the money straight away from the comfort of our lounge room, and it costs us no more than $3 ,bargains!! In this harsh financial climate,we need bargains.

I was previously using another remittance agent, and I wasn't happy. I switched to Remitly and have been using it for ages! The service is fast, reliable, and very convenient. What I especially appreciate is the great exchange rate, which means my family gets more value from the money I send. The best part is how quickly the funds arrive — my… Read more

relatives can receive the money almost instantly, which gives me great peace of mind, especially when I need to send money urgently.

The whole online process is simple and hassle-free, and I’ve been very happy with the service. I highly recommend Remitly to anyone who wants a fast, secure, reliable, and cost-effective way to send money overseas.

Definitely a 5-star experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have been using remitly to send money to Mauritius to pay my loan for the past 2 years and that helped a lot. Unfortunately, this service is unavailable now. Can remitly please do needful to give access to send money to debit/credit card again.

I am very satisfied with Remilty especially its verification process which keeps me in compliance with the changing requirements for security purposes. Transfers have always been completed within a very short window and my one experience with a delay recently was a compliance issue check and verification, once done, saw the transfer completed within seconds.

⭐ 0/10— Extremely Poor Service This has been one of the worst experiences I have ever had with a money transfer service. Remitly held my money for 9–10 days, which was extremely disappointing and stressful, especially because the money was urgently needed for my mother’s medical treatment. She is a heart patient, and this delay caused us serious… Read more

worry during an already difficult time.

What makes this even more frustrating is that I submitted all the required documents and proof regarding the amount and source of the money. I provided my full bank statements, my salary payslips, my wife’s salary payslips, and copies of our passports. I fully cooperated with every request and provided the documents needed to verify the transaction.

Despite providing all this information and documentation, my money was still held for 9–10 days. When money is urgently needed for a family member’s medical treatment, such a delay is completely unacceptable.

I have never experienced such poor service in my life. The communication and handling of my case were extremely disappointing, and I felt that I was not being given clear or reliable information.

For me, everything about this experience deserves 0/10.

I will never use Remitly again. This experience has completely destroyed my trust in the service. People send money because they need it to reach their families when it matters—not to have it held for days after they have already provided all the requested documents.

Extremely disappointing. Very poor service. I will not use Remitly again. Goodbye, Remitly.

Excellent service never had a problem in sending and the most important is the time of delivery in emergency . I am really happy and highly recommending using Remitly

Been using this for years and can't think why I'd use any other. Once their sending fees dropped to zero there was no turning back. I'm sure their costs are covered somewhere within the exchange rates but they need to make money too so I'm fine with that, a few cents doesn't hurt me. Only ever having to think about the exact amounts I'm sending… Read more

and not factor in fees is a great plus. When I've very rarely had an issue eg a late delivery, I was able to sort it out with them without drama. The app is unbelievably stable and you can see all the info about your transaction every step of the way. I'm not too thrilled with the recent look of the payment commencement screen. There's too much going on, with options to slide up, slide sideways etc. Wish that could be simplified, nonetheless it doesn't affect anything with the transfer. Overall, great sending experience, can't complain.
