On November 16 I was transferring money to a friend in ***** to pay for an apartment that I was renting for 3 weeks in *****, I needed to send $2000 usd. I was also sending money to my fiancee, $500. World Remit has a very low per transaction limit of about $370. So I was breaking the transactions into smaller amounts. World Remit stopped some of the transactions and requested information about myself, my bank accounts, my businesses, where the money came from in my accounts, who I was sending money to, what the money was for, they asked for my ID multiple times, I provided it, they asked for documentation on properties I own in *****, they asked for the contract on the apartment I was renting, they asked for information on what I do for a living what services my businesses provide, then circled back and asked for my ID again, all the while I am trying to figure out how to get money across to my fiancee and yes we have met, I have made 5 trips to ***** in the last year. I have helped some of the friends I have made in ***** and now it's been two weeks I have kept trying to send transactions to Ggana each day as world remit is very vague on what is wrong, saying the transactions are failing to go to my fiancee because her mobile Wallet had exceeded its limit, so I try to send money to her mother and her brother again without success, am told their mobile wallets are not registered. So they register them. Try to send money again and again I am asked for my ID. I send it but still the transactions are failing then today I get a message that my account is being closed, I asked can you wait to close it until all the transactions are canceled and refunded, that goes unanswered and my account is closed and deleted. So now all the records of the transactions and their status are gone, how am I to verify if I have gotten all the money back for the canceled transactions if all the data has been deleted. Something is very wrong here. Could be over $4000Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I did not do anything to warrant them closing my account. and they closed it before all the transactions were canceled so there is no way for me toconfirm that they have refunded all the transactions because I have no access to all the transactions. I have no way to confirm that the list of transactions is every transaction.

I reached out to Worldremit severally to have the issue resolved to no avail. I tried disputing the amount through my bank but Worldremit claimed the transaction was valid.

Hello Yewande,
Good day and thank you for sending your complaint through BBB.
I reviewed your transactions and the bank statement you previously sent ** showing your payments through WorldRemit.
Please be aware that posting dates for some banking institutions may vary from transaction dates. After the payment has been received, the post date typically happens one to three working days later.
Your March statement shows a total of seven payments for $4,918.89 which covers your transactions, *********, *********, *********, *********, *********, ********* and *********. This means that you were not charged for the transaction in question ********* since the transfer was cancelled while it was in pre-authorization hold state.
Attached file is the payments made to WorldRemit showing when the transaction was created and when the payment was posted in your bank account with the corresponding WorldRemit transaction numbers. We also attached the receipts of your completed transactions for $ ******* which were reflected in your bank statement.Kindly let us know if you have any questions.
Best,
Lovely

I am rejecting this response because the transaction I am due a refund for was made on March 30th 2022 and cancelled 31st March 2022 which was omitted in your response. This reinforces my feeling of foul play. As per your policy, transaction amounts are deducted immediately after its been initiated and posted to recipients days later. This was exactly what happened for the transaction I made March 30th 2022. The cancelation email on 31st March 2022 acknowledged a refund was due which was never made.My bank confirmed successfully withdrawal of $4918.89 by worldremit on March 30th 2022. This amount was never returned to the account it was deducted from which I can prove with my bank statement from March 2022 till date. Like I mentioned all I want is my refund, It's sad I have to beg for my money after a service I pay for was denied me.

Hello *******,
Thank you for your response and our apologies for the confusion.
Your **** statement does indeed reflect a successful withdrawal of $4918.89 on March 30th 2022 as the payment was for your transaction ********* that was created on March 29th 2022, as noted in our prior response.
Your WorldRemit account shows no transaction created on March 1st, 2022 but your statement dated March 1, 2022 shows a payment was made to WorldRemit for $4918.89, this means your **** posted your payment for your February 28, 2022 transaction number ********* a day late.
In this post, you are welcome to attach your **** statement for BBB's review.
Please refer to the attached table for payments made to WorldRemit, which includes the associated WorldRemit transaction numbers and dates for when the payment was created and posted in your **** account.
In case you are unable to pull up the attachments please see below:
Your transaction made on 28 February, transaction *********, was posted on March 1,Your transaction made on 8 March , transaction *********, was posted on March 9,
Your transaction made on 16 March , transaction *********, was posted on March 17,
Your transaction made on 17 March , transaction *********, was posted on March 18,
Your transaction made on 22 March , transaction *********, was posted on March 23,Your transaction made on 28 March , transaction *********, was posted on March 29 and,
Your transaction made on 29 March , transaction *********, was posted on March 30.
Your transaction made on 30 March, transaction *********, no other payment found on the customer's March and April **** statement.
That being said, unless you can give us a **** statement proving that money was taken out of your account, you were not charged for transaction ********* that was made on March 30. Your April 2022 statement, which you also sent, should have revealed the amount if it had been charged to your account for the March 30th-created transaction, but I do not see a payment for $4918.89 that has been posted.
Kindly let us know if you need further assistance.Best,
Lovely

I am rejecting this response because:The transaction being disputed happened on 30th March 2022 and was cancelled by Worldremit 31st March 2022 not 1st March as stipulated in your response. Attached is a copy of my statement for March with the deduction clearly evident.
It saddens me that Worldremit is employing all tactics possible including derailing the conversation by mentioning irrelevant dates.
As stated in my request I want my refund made. Thanks!

Hello *******,
I hope this email finds you well.
We understand this could be very confusing. Therefore, I have highlighted the successful payments on your bank statement together with its corresponding transaction numbers and attached it here. I also attached the transaction receipts in case you missed it.
Once again, you were not charged for your transaction ********* as it was cancelled while it was on pre-authorization hold. You can also check by reviewing the total number of $ ******* amount paid since you started using WorldRemit.
If you still feel that you are charged for your transaction *********, please send us your bank statement showing the funds leaving the account.
Please let us know if you require anything else.Best,

Hi BBB,
Thanks for the efforts being put into resolving my dispute with Worldremit.
I would like to state that I didn't initiate a transaction on 28th March 2022 as stated by Worldremit which makes their timeline incorrect. Attached is my recipient's statement for the month of March and April to confirm the number of transactions I paid Worldremit (7) and the number that was delivered to the recipient (6). Please go through the first attachment I added when logging my case. They mentioned in their email on 31st March 2022 to me that the transaction for 30th March 2022 was cancelled.
If there was transparency and my Worldremit account wasn't closed on 31st March 2022 I would have been able to log in to share a screenshot of my transaction history with you. All I am asking for is the refund of my money, it saddens me greatly to the see the level such a company which promotes transparency is willing to go to cheat people.
Sincerely,

I would appreciate it if Worldremit could ***** me a request to reactivate my account to view my transaction statement. If not, Worldremit should make available my transaction statement for the duration I used their service. This would help me understand where they are coming from stating I wasn't charged for the transaction which I clearly got charged for.
Thanks,

Hello,
Please find attached my bank statement that shows a charge on March 30th 2022. Attached is also the email worlremit sent me on the 31st March 2022 informing me of the cancellation and to expect my refund which never came. Also attached is my transaction history with worldremit. This shows their claims of the charge for 30th March 2022 being for a 28th March 2022 as void. My two last transactions with them was done on 29th March 2022 and 30th March 2022.

Hello Yewande,
Thank you for your response.
As can be seen in the attachment you sent (file name: Capitalone Dispute.pdf), you raised a dispute about the amount in question. However, as per the last statement, your dispute was inadmissible, and WorldRemit is not responsible for this chargeback since, once again, you were not charged for the disputed transaction.
Also, according to the documentation you submitted, a total of 9 successful transactions with the amount of $4918.09 between January 23, 2022, and March 29, 2022. You can download or obtain a copy of your bank statement from January through March 2022 to get a clearer perspective. When you receive it, check the number of successful payments with the amount of $4918.89 to WorldRemit.
I have attached again the highlighted the successful payments on your bank statement together with its corresponding transaction numbers.
We will wait for your bank statement from January through March 2022.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Best,

*** given several tries to WorldRemit trying to transfer money from my US bank account to my ********* bank, which isnt against their rules and they even have an option sending funds to self to select when choosing transfer. They kept canceling my transfers initially without explaining the reason other than saying that theyve detected suspicious activity. I guess when youre using your debit card to send money to yourself and your name is the same on your receiving end considered to be VERY suspicious for those guys So tonight i was trying to send myself $200 just to test the water again as i usually send about $2000 to my ************** and theyve cancelled transaction AGAIN and even closed my account! Needless to say, explanation was super vague again that they were concerned about legitimacy of this transfer sending money from one account to another with the SAME name on it It theyre telling me they will hold my funds up to 21 days until my bank is able to return it which is not a big deal but rather a matter of principles.

I have reviewed your concern and can confirm that your attempted transactions were cancelled as our criteria for authorizing transactions were not met.
As a financially regulated company, we perform checks before we can fully authorize a transaction and after reviewing your transfer, we have discovered that the details have not meet our selection and approval criteria therefore we have suspended your account in accordance with our terms and conditions.
To uphold the integrity of our internal procedures, we are unable to disclose the specifics as it would violate our security policies.
However, we sent your account to our reviews team for assessment. They determined that your account should be reactivated, but future transactions are still up for review.

Dear *******,
Thank you for using WorldRemit.
We're sorry to inform you that we've made the decision to cancel your transaction and close your account.
This means that we've cancelled your payment. In the majority of cases, it should appear in your account within 2-3 working days but it can take **** days depending on your bank/card issuer. The transaction was cancelled on the same day it was created so funds were not collected. You may reach out to your bank to follow up on the funds.
There are a number of reasons we may need to close a customers account: we may have concerns over security or feel that there's been a breach of our terms and conditions. Sometimes, a customer simply has more than one account to their name.
Were not legally able to tell you the exact reason for each closure, but we always aim to stay balanced, fair and safe when reviewing our transactions. Unfortunately, you can no longer use our services.
Please visit our help page for more information or refer to our Terms and Conditions.

I initiated a cash pick-up transfer to ******** on Friday August 12th. I was asked to present identification on that same day which was submitted. I was asked on Saturday August 13th to submit a selfie to confirm identification which I promptly submitted. From that time on the transfer has not gone through with a constant excuse of a glitch with their provider and transfers are not going through. I continued to receive emails stating corrected in 6 hours and texts with same excuse. This morning. Thursday August 18th the status changed to fail. They refuse to return my monies, they do not have a refund and refused to allow me to speak to a manager. It was implicated managers were not aware of issues and the person I spoke with refused to let me speak with anyone else. I am told to wait as this mysterious glitch is resolved. Subsequently I reached out to another firm who stated ********* cash transfers are working and can be accomplished in minutes. My $993 has been stolen, sits in limbo and will not be returned to me. This money laundering organization is poorly run and after reading one star poor reviews of this being a standard business practice the public must be made aware of their laundering scam they are operating. I have no confidence whatsoever my monies will ever be returned. My transaction ID is *********.Business Response
