    I have had mixed relationship with Remitly.Initially my account was closed upon opening ot a while back and by escalation, it got reopened after it was proven I did nothing wrong.The same thing has happened and now I am requesting an explanation of why this keeps happening. This is an inconvenience as it prevents me from conducting necessary transactions and if my history is examined, I have only sent to select individuals.I am asking for this issue to be examined please. Thank you

    Remitly insisted I needed to send copies of back side of my military ID. I mentioned that is illegal and I was not able to do that. I told the person that I could provide my Passport and DL but she insisted I still needed to provide all sides of my Military ID to pass verification since we are military and have a APO address. I even offered to provide our military orders that would have my sponsor and my name on it with our base info but she said the military ID was still required. THIS IS ILLEGAL.I was told my transaction would be cancelled so nothing I can do about it but this is something REMITLY should definitely look into. Military orders have always been proof enough. They need to review their requirements and stop requesting copies of military IDs.

    Hello ******,

    Greetings from Remitly. 

    We are writing back in response to the complaint you filed with the Better Business Bureau on August 23, 2023. We would like to thank you for bringing your recent experience to our attention.

    In your complaint, you mentioned that you do not want to provide the other side of your Military ID (the side that contains your date of birth), since that is illegal. 

    We reviewed your Remitly profile and found the submission of a transaction in the amount of $1000.00 with reference number R24554723520 on August 22, 2023. The transaction was held for review and a member of our Customer Protection team reached out to you to ask additional verification questions and also required you to submit a back to back copy of your Military ID.

    Apparently, this transaction was eventually canceled since we did not receive the required documents in time. While we understand your frustration, US law requires us to obtain, verify, and record information about you.

    We may require that you provide us with nonpublic, personal, identifying information. We may also lawfully obtain information about you from other sources without your knowledge, including non-personal identifying information that we may obtain while you visit this website.

    For more information, you may refer to our User Agreement. You may refer to this link: Section 7. HOW AND WHY WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION.

    Furthermore, kindly be reminded that for future transactions, in accordance to our policy, we may request for the same documents in order for us to process the transfer. 

    Our company always looks for ways to improve its service and feedback such as yours is invaluable.

    Please feel free to contact us again if we can be of any further assistance. **************** can be reached 24 hours a day, seven days a week at **************.

    Complaint: 20513176

    I am rejecting this response because:
    The issue here is how remitly insists on getting copies of Military IDs. My transaction was  cancelled by your agent because I insisted I was not going to provide my military ID. I clearly told her I could provide passport and my military orders but she was adamant that if I did not provide my military ID it was going to be cancelled anyways. On her email says military ID to verify birthday but my passport can easily verify that. She said she needed it to verify military status, well our orders would do that but she would not take those alone. I even read her the statute where it says business can not require copies of that and if they do to provide other ID but she did not accept that. Please go back to the call to hear the conversation. 

    Anyways, I just hope you stop asking for that to future clients.

    I had been a customer for quite some time of ***********************. I tried to send money to my father who i send money regularly. I had sent my father money using his card and Remitly marked this transaction as suspicious. I called spoke with them and they advised me I needed to change the payment option to my own card. Later on I tried sending money with my card and the transaction was successful only for me to then get an email saying that the transaction did not go through. No further explanations. A day later when I tried to go into my account it said my account was blocked. I contacted them and they claimed they suspended the account. I asked the agent why I did not receive a cancellation email? He claimed they do not sent cancellation or suspension emails. My issue here is I am concerned that I dont have a confirmation email from this company saying my account was suspended, all my personal information and account information along with all my recipients are still in the account and I dont have an email for the future saying they suspended. I would like for Remitly to send me a suspension email as proof that my information was indeed not going to be use and its safeguarded. Thank you.

    Dear *********************, 

    Greetings from Remitly.  We are writing in response to the complaint you filed with the Better Business Bureau on August 20, 2023. Thank you for bringing your recent experience to our attention.

    In the complaint you outlined concerns regarding the deactivation of your Remitly profile when you sent money using a payment profile owned by a family member. You also requested to have your account reinstated. We have reviewed your account and found that our **************** team requested personal information as part of our verification and security procedures. We made this request to keep our service secure and comply with applicable US laws and regulations relating to know-your-customer requirements. We understand how this could have been frustrating for you, but like other financial institutions and money transmitters we need to deploy rigorous procedures in order to meet security and compliance requirements.

    After an in-depth review, our team reactivated your Remitly profile and you are very much welcome to use our services to send money to your loved-ones. Please note that you must use your own payment profile to fund your transfers. We have also added a $20 discount on your Remitly profile that you can use on your next transfer. 

    Again, we appreciate the time you have taken to address this matter with us.  Our company always looks for ways to improve its service and feedback such as yours is invaluable.  Please feel free to contact us again if we can be of any further assistance.  **************** can be reached 24 hours a day, seven days a week at **************.

    I made a transaction using Remitely to *****. Accidentally I placed the last digit wrong on 27-Jun-2023.On follow up multiple times they were claiming that money never received to any one. They have all the recordings which they are not sharing with me any more.They raised a request for Reversal ******** on 08/03/2023. On 08/19/2023, they sent me an email that money has received to some another account. Which is completely a lie because - The account number and person name does not match then no way the money can transfer to any individual - They have already raised a ticket for Reversal on 08/03/2023 then how come money is sent to another account.Call was : - 07/03/2023 or 1 or 2 days before - I need my money back. Let me know how BBB can help.

    Today, I created a profile on Remitly under my name. I went through the entire process, which included submitting my state ID, completing a video verification, and transferring $500 to my son in *****. The website deducted the money from my account immediately and promised that it would be back in my account within 30 minutes. However, when I checked my profile, it showed that I had violated some rules, and my account was suspended. This was my first time creating an account and I had completed all verifications. Remitly took my $500, and it seems like this website is a fraud, cheating customers in the name of remittance. I believe that serious action should be taken against them.

    Dear **************************************

    Greetings from Remitly. We are writing in response to the email complaint you filed with the Better Business Bureau on August 17, 2023. Thank you for bringing your recent experience to our attention. 

    In your complaint, you have outlined that you were charged twice the amount of $971.78 from your transaction R94393323987. The transfer was initiated on May 05, 2023, as a payment for the jewelries you ordered to *****************************. Upon receipt of the item, you verified that it was a counterfeit. 

    We have further investigated the matter and based on our records, on July 21, 2023, you filed a dispute to your bank and on July 31, 2023, you reached us via phone and agreed to cancel the claim. Since your bank charged us $971.78, a member of our Compliance team manually collected the funds as agreed upon. As you cancel the claim with your bank, they reversed the funds to Remitly and on August 02, 2023, we processed the refund and advised that this will be posted to her bank account in the next **** banking days. 

    On August 11, 2023, you called Remitly for a follow up on your refund. You also mentioned that apart from the manual charge, the temporary credit was also collected from your account. Our associate reiterated that the refund normally takes **** banking days to post on your sccount. And on  August 18, 2023, we received the chargeback again. A member of Escalations team, tried to reach out to you via email on August 24, 2023, however, we didn't receive any response from you.

    On the other hand, this particular transfer was a confirmed commercial transaction as stated on your complaint and through the conversations youve had with our associates over the phone. Please be guided that our User Agreement under Article 5, Section 3 clearly stipulates that You should not use the Service to send money except to people that you know. We are not responsible for the quality or delivery of goods or services that you pay for using the Service. You accept that using the Service to pay for goods and services is at your own risk.

    On 8/7, I used the bank transfer service, copy/pasting the recipient's account number instead of keying it in-- just to make sure there is no entry error. I provided all the required information, and I received a notification that the funds were delivered on 08/10. When the recipient did not actually receive the funds, I called ***, and she and a supervisor insisted that I keyed in the wrong account number. This is completely false; again, to make sure that I didn't make any entry error, as I copied/pasted the account number. Prior to this transaction, I contacted *** multiple times regarding issues that I was facing with a transaction to another bank based in *******. When they couldn't resolve the problem, I asked that they transfer me to a manager, and I never received a call from a manager. This problem has been two weeks in the making; and now that the money is missing, Remitly is trying to shift the blame on me. I filed on a complaint on their system as well. Below are the details of my interactions with Remitly so far:- Phone calls I made to Remitly: 08/02 @ 1:37pm 08/04 @ 1:24 pm 08/17 @ 11:08 am - Completed the *** survey I received on 08/08 and reported the negative interactions

    Dear Codou Samba,

    Greetings from Remitly. We are writing in response to the complaint you filed with the Better Business Bureau on August 17, 2023. Thank you for bringing your recent experience to our attention.

    In the complaint, you have indicated you received a notification that funds were delivered on August 10, 2023 yet the funds were not received by your recipient. You further explained - ...I called CSR, and she and a supervisor insisted that I keyed in the wrong account number. This is completely false; again, to make sure that I didn't make any entry error, as I copied/pasted the account number

    We tried numerous times to call you using the number registered on your Remitly profile to address the issue with your transfer Ref# R965966334651 - that *************************** has not received the funds amounting to $100.00. However, we are unable to reach you. We also sent you emails providing updates on your transfer.

    Based on the result of our investigation, the account number we are seeing in our system - ******- is different from the account number that you are sending money to - ******. As a courtesy, we have reversed your transfer. This is the new reference number: R201598940611. 

    Also, we have deleted your recipient - *************************** - from your contact list. You may add her again, kindly make sure that you input the correct details. We recommend  that you do not copy-paste since this may include unnecessary or incorrect details.

    We are glad to see that your transfer has been completed.

    Again, we truly appreciate the time you have taken to address this matter with us. Our company always looks for ways to improve its service and feedback such as yours is invaluable. Please feel free to contact us again if we can be of any further assistance. **************** can be reached 24 hours a day, seven days a week at **************.

    I am rejecting this response because: the problem was on your end, not mine. There can be an entry error when the verified information is copy/pasted; it doesn't matter how many times you say otherwise. Also, calling someone twice within two minutes and getting no response within that timeframe doesn't make that person unreachable. Your CSRs need to get better training, especially in communication.

    With that said, I acknowledge that you have finally fixed things on your end and that the recipient has received the funds that I sent back in August 7.


    Sincerely,

    Codou Samba

    Re: BBB Complaint BBB #********

    Greetings from Remitly. We are writing to the complaint you filed with the Better Business Bureau on . Thank you for bringing your recent experience to our attention.
    In the complaint, you indicated that the money was not delivered to the recipient although the transaction was successfully completed.

    We reviewed your Remitly profile and found the submission of a transaction with reference number R89625876214 on July 04,2023 with the amount of $2387. The transfer was immediately forwarded to our partner bank for processing. 

    On July 19, 2023, you informed our customer service that the money was not received by the recipient. Remitly Customer Support escalated your concern and our team reached out to our partner bank to obtain the final status.

    We worked with our partner bank to recall the money from the recipients account. However, reversal of funds is dependent on the recipients approval. 

    To help you out, we have manually reversed the transaction status and initiated cancellation on August 23,2023. You can expect your funds to reflect in your bank account in **** banking days.

    Furthermore, we have added a $30 discount into your Remitly profile as a token of our appreciation to you for your patience while we are trying to investigate the matter. 
    This discount will automatically be applied on your next transfer with us.

    Our company always looks for the ways to improve its service and feedback such as yours is invaluable. Please feel free to contact us again if we can be of any further assistance. **************** can be reached 24 hours a day, seven days a week at **************. 

    Thank you,
