      On Thursday, April 6th I initiated a money transfer. I reached out to Moneygram customer service on the 9th for transfer to be canceled and funds to be refunded to me. This company is refusing to process the refund and when *** asked to speak with a supervisor I am 1) not allowed to speak with one!! 2) unable to get the agent number of the rep I am on the phone with in order for me to reference for future escalations 3) am left wondering why I am unable to get a refund of my money!!The policy on the company website instructs customers not to share account/credit/debit card information with reps but I am being asked to provide my bank account by several customer service representatives such as Gaby in turn wont provide any identifying information such as an agent number to assure the customer can reference conversations had with them if ever necessary. In short. On Friday, April 9th I requested a return of my funds to the original method of payment and I would like this company to release my money!!

      On 4/4/23, I sent $2000 from *** to *****, **** using Moneygram phone app. I selected that recipient receive money in dollars. I paid an extra $24.99 as transfer fee. Recipient went to Moneygram agent, ********** and was told that they will distribute the fund in ***** dinars but not in dollars. I called Moneygram on 4/9/23 to report this problem and was told by the customer service agent to have the recipient go to another agent, AlTaif Exchange to pick up the money in dollars. My recipient went to AlTaif exchange and was told that they will not distribute the money in dollars. I called customer service again and was told that my options is to receive the money in ***** dinner which comes out to about $1700 (loss of $300), or cancel the transaction and lose the transfer fee of $24.99 that I paid to Moneygram.My agreement with Moneygram is that I send the money in dollars and receive it in dollars. It is not my fault that Moneygrams agent is not honoring their contract. Im asking for full refund of $2024.99.

      MoneyGram appreciates the opportunity to review and respond to ******************** concerns.

      According to MoneyGram's records, on April 9, 2023, *************** contacted MoneyGram to report that the receiver could not collect the funds in USD as the agent locations visited by his receiver could only pay out the funds in local currency. Please note that payout in select currencies is subject to the availability of that currency at the time of collection and may be available only at select receive locations.

      MoneyGram's records indicate that **************** requested a refund of the transfer on April 9, 2023, so a refund of the send amount was processed without the processing fee included.

      Per MoneyGram's policy, a full refund is issued if a transaction is canceled within one hour of payment. For cancellations made more than one hour and up to 180 days after payment, the sent amount is refunded,excluding fees.

      MoneyGram has made a one-time exception and completed a fee refund of $24.99 on April 18, 2023. Please allow three to ten business days for the fee refund to be credited back to the original payment method.

      For the past several months, I have been traveling through South *******. Moneygram allows for users to wire money to themselves. When attempting to do so, there is a direct deposit option to the overseas bank account. The policies of ************* are such that a third-party local bank must complete an identity verification, for bank accounts and digital wallet apps. This occurs only during the first transfer. Afterwards, no additional verification is needed. On the day I was supposed to receive the money, that local bank called me, but I didn't answer. When I attempted to return the missed call, it would not go through - at that point I wasn't sure if under this scenario it was still required. So I called that local bank and provided my national ID number. The lady couldn't pull anything up. My next step was to call the local bank. They advised that they saw it in the system, but that there was an error on Moneygram's end - they may have made an entry error. They advised that I would NEVER have that money deposited into my account, unless it was fixed. My next step was to call Moneygram. Representatives advised that they saw it in the system and that it was in process for receipt. So I again called the bank and they said no. This went on for some time. Later, the people at the third-party bank advised that they couldn't pull it up with the national ID until after it was received. The transfer number should have been provided - they were a bit short and didn't really want to help....I DID have that number available.Moneygram refused to cancel the wire transfer. At that point, my only option was to dispute the transaction with my bank. Moneygram has since canceled my account. ************* does not have a direct interface with the local digital wallets, the way that Moneygram does. This is cursing great hardships. ******* filed case number ******** - but said it could take up to 90 days. This is unconscionable. Please fix this.

      I am rejecting this response because:   

       

      Although Moneygram

      may have the right to do so, does not make it right. The reasons for this is that the surrounding factors are not being accounted for in this response. There were two other entities in place: the local bank as well as a third-party bank that completed a verification process. Each agency pointed their finger at the other. When I called a supervisor at Moneygram I asked if he would be willing to conference into the call with the local bank; he said he could not do so. My next step was to ask to RELAY information, where I would not pitch the call through. Rather, I would have him on one phone and the local bank on another simply repeating what each party said. He kept giving frivolous responses. You know what I think (after HOURS on phone calls)? That creates a scenario in which cold hard facts come into play and someone has to take accountability, rather than let the customer sit in the middle, as everyone passes the buck. 

       

      Does Moneygram tell you that the account is terminated when you log in? Nope.they give you error messages. Why? Because when its in writing there is a great probability that this will pop up on a regulatory bodys radar screen and accountability will be enforced . Under this format, Moneygram benefits from vague responses, where no one is accountable and they do WHATEVER comes out of their digital @** so that they staff can climb the ladder by walking over everybody.

      I am rejecting this response because:   

      the tone presented is one that is both cordial and professional. The format of brevity allows for the polices laid out during multiple - and lengthy - telephone calls. They are not forthcoming but rather vague enough to answer yet not specific enough to address the issues. The mission and vision statements of a business that is are there to truly be productive members of the community is not one that was reflected during my calls. Rather, they are authoritarian, one-sides, and promote finger-pointing, as the structure is one where by sedition there are multiple companies involved. If the amounts charges were higher, regulation would more easily be promoted along with enforcement action. This too is promoted by the tendency for regulation to be more addressed at the State level, and refraining from intervene in cross-state, let alone international, transactions.  It appears Moneygram has an excellent legal team, which advises on how to allow for unethical, and even illegal, actions to be small enough to stay below the radar of government over site.

      I attempted to send a payment to a bank account through the ********************** on 3/30/2023 and a couple of hours later I received an email informing me that my transaction was canceled and I should receive a refund in about 10 days. I tried to logon to my MoneyGram account and wasnt able to. I called their customer service and I was told they had canceled my transaction and closed my MoneyGram account. Their reasoning was that they werent comfortable with my transactions. This was my first transaction in almost a year. I asked them to allow me to remove my information from their app, as I do not want my debit card information and other personal information ( drivers license and others) left in the account they locked me out of it. I can respect their decision, no matter how unprofessional it is, to lock my account but I want to be able to remove my information myself. I try to escalate it and the customer service representative reluctantly, after questioning me about why Im uncomfortable leaving my info on their app, put me on hold for a couple of minutes and told me he escalated it to the next level to see if they can remove my information off their app.

      On January 29, 2022, I sent $160 using MoneyGram to pay for my ********** **** Services account credit card bill. Money Gram sent the money to the wrong business. I have since been in touch with them on several occasions regarding the matter, and they have refused to resolve it. My account was in the negative and it affected my credit score. I requested that the monies be returned and I was told that an escalation was being created on several occasions. The last conversation that I had was on March 28, 2023 with a supervisor name *** from the escalation team I asked her several times to let me speak with her boss supervisor or manager and she refused to do so, so now Im making a complaint to retrieve my money.

      I am rejecting this response because:   I spoke with a Representative at Citibank who says that it is the responsibility of Money Gram to create a case in order to retrieve the funds that I entrusted them with.

      I used MoneyGram International to transfer $300.00 USD to Banco del Pichincha account in *******. 2 transactions, 1 transaction number ******** $100.00 on 02/24/2023, and the next trans number ******** on 03/03/2023 $200.00. MoneyGram promised delivery no later than 2 days after the transaction is made. The money was not delivered and still is not delivered until today 03/27/2023. MoneyGram refuses to provide any information as to where the money might be. The only thing they propose is to initiate an investigation, a process that takes up to 90 days. Even if I request a cancellation, the funds will not be refunded before or after the investigation concludes. This is an unreasonably long time. Both the receiver and I have had numerous telephone conversations with MoneyGram, receiving conflicting information from the agents and also numerous calls to the bank in ******* both blaming each other. I cannot understand I spent so much time with Money Gram with NO help at all.

      I sent money (about $1,612) through MoneyGram to a friend in ***** on March 18, 2023. The money was supposed to be deposited into the bank account of my friend within seconds as always promised but even right now, my friend and myself are receiving conflicting information about the transfer. I am now told to wait up to 90 days before a resolution could be made after MoneyGrams investigation. So so shocking MoneyGram cant just track to find out where the money is or just cancel and refund me my money. I need my money immediately. Thanks!

      Hi, I want to report MoneyGram as nontrusted institution. On March 16th I used ******** services to sent $5560 to *************************** using a bank account. After 4 business days I received a refence number that the money are available for pickup, yet the recipient was told that he can't pickup the money as the is exceeding the allowed amount. MoneyGram didn't at any point informed me of this limitation, and I was told cancel the transaction and we will return your money in 10 business days. I canceled the transaction and as advised sent another amount of $5200 and I received a reference number saying that the funs are available right away, yet the recipient was told that the money are not available and he should come the next day. He we there the next day the founds were not available again, after communicating with the the local MoneyGram in ****** I was told that the money will be available shortly. Next thing I know MoneyGram canceled my second transaction with no explanation why besides that after internal review they decided so to cancel it. Now I have $10760 stuck with MoneyGram that I have to wait 10 business days to get back. I firmly believe that they should not provide services, and I should be reimbues for my troubles and frustrations with them. Their customer service is not helpful at all. Please help!

      MoneyGram appreciates the opportunity to review and respond to **************************** concerns.

      According to MoneyGram's records, on March 21, 2023, *********************** used our services to send funds to a receiver. The transaction was canceled and refunded on  March 22, 2023.

      On March 22, 2023, ************************ made another attempt to send funds to a receiver. This transaction was canceled for compliance reasons and refunded on March 23, 2023.

      Refunds made to credit or debit cards may take up to three to ten business days to be credited based on the consumer's financial institution. MoneyGram no longer has the funds and is not able to expedite the process.

      To protect the safety of our customers, and to meet our compliance requirements, MoneyGram actively reviews transaction amounts and frequencies and will, from time to time, put restrictions in place to safeguard our consumers. If MoneyGram does not feel comfortable with an activity or with the purpose of a transaction, the service could be declined.

      When legitimate transactions are disrupted, we hope that our consumers understand that these inconveniences are the result of our dedication to protecting our consumers.

      MoneyGram apologizes for any inconvenience this may have caused.

      Thank you,

      I have reviewed the business response and accept this resolution. I received my funds back pretty quick and form that part I am satisfied with. I am not happy that Money Gram advertise them self as service provider and then is not capable of delivering the service. First, their system allows you to send more money that they can deliver, second, when the right amount of money was send, they cancel the transaction and provided no reason why they did that. Third their customer service was rude and nonhelpful, they were refusing to escalate the matter and ending the chat with me. I strongly believe that the business should be penalized so it can take more responsibly.
