    Dear ***********************************,

    Greetings from Remitly. We are writing in response to the email complaint you filed with the
    Better Business Bureau on May 13, 2023. Thank you for bringing your recent experience to our
    attention.

    In your complaint, you have outlined that the funds youve sent to your beneficiary amounting to
    $826.39 with reference number R20587292306, were not received. The transfer was initiated on
    May 7, 2023, for the purpose of securing an apartment in ********.

    We have further investigated the matter and based on our records, when the transfer was
    initiated on May 7, it was not immediately processed at our partner banks end. According to our
    partner bank, they received the transfer on May 7 as well, however, it was a non-banking day
    and they advised ** that it will be processed on the next banking day.

    Eventually, the status of the transfer was updated and got completed. On our end, a completed
    transfer means that the money was successfully received by your beneficiary. Since you have
    reported otherwise, we have reached out to our partner bank in ******** and confirmed the
    status of the transfer from their end.

    Our partner bank has confirmed that the funds were successfully deposited into your
    beneficiarys bank account. We tried to request for a reversal of funds from our partner bank,
    however, this request was denied.

    To resolve the complaint you have raised, Remitly returned the funds to you, today, June 2,
    2023, and you can expect the funds to reflect in your bank account in **** banking days.

    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. Customer
    Service can be reached 24 hours a day, seven days a week at **************.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

    however, the beneficiary never received the money because I have viewed their bank accounts and they did not get the money. 

    Youre here by to close my account with your company and erase any of my banking data and if I ever have any withdrawal with you again or any problems, they will be addressed immediately and swiftly and not like this because this took forever your customer service is terrible and it took this long and for me to have to send you a threatening legal letter, basically in order to get the money back

     

    Your company list of people I dont really wanna hear any ish that you have about it you constantly have complaints about losing money abroad and they never received it. I saw the statements so I know that your company is disorganized and youre robbing ***** to pay **** and everything but I dont want anything to do with Unique further Im not leaving any good reviews. Im not gonna bother with the bad reviews, but do not touch my information ever ever again and delete my account with you.

    The company Remitly advertises that for every qualified referral that you send, to use their platform you will receive a $25 dollar credit plus your referral will also receive a $25 dollar credit.On April 18, 2023, I sent a referral by the name of ***********************, the email with an invitation was sent to *********************** by me, and the referral signed up and sent 200 dollars qualifying her to receive a credit of $25 dollars to which we both did not receive such credit.When I contacted Remitly about their broken platform or linkage or disconnect between what they advertise and what is promised they apologized and said they could not do anything. After pressing for more answers they decided to give me a credit for one free Remitly transfer of money which I did not receive. Nevertheless, this is not what is advertised.My referral email is ***************************** .....There is definitely a disconnect between what they advertise online and what is promised.

    Dear *************************,

    Greetings from Remitly. We are writing in response to the email complaint you filed with the Better Business Bureau on May 10, 2023. Thank you for bringing your recent experience to our attention.

    In your recent complaint, you have outlined that you and your referee didnt receive the referral credit amounting to $25 each in your respective Remitly profiles.

    We have thoroughly reviewed this on our end, and based on our records, we were able to confirm that your referee indeed sign up an account with **, however, ***************************** didnt sign up using your referral link.

    She directly signed up through our website, www.remitly.com, and that is the reason why both of you didnt receive the referral credits after she completed her initial transfer with us. Your referee redeemed the free transaction instead and this was applied on her completed transfer.

    We understand that there was some confusion with our referral program and to resolve the matter, we have manually added the $25 referral credits in both of your Remitly profiles which can be used on your next transfer with **.

    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 **************.

    Dear *************************,

    Greetings from Remitly. We are writing in response to the complaint you filed with the Better Business Bureau on May 10,2023.

    In your complaint, you outlined a concern related to the  completed transaction  that you sent to your beneficiarys  account in *******, however, the funds were not claimed successfully and you are requesting for a refund.

    We reviewed your account and found that on February 09, 2023 you have sent money to your recipient, ***************************************. The transaction was processed by our partner bank and the funds were delivered to the intended recipient as outlined within your instructions. 

    One of our ********** associates reached out to you and discussed over the phone about your complaint for transaction reference number ************ amounting to $500.00. We are in the process of communicating with the Bank to retrieve the funds back.

    As one of our valued customers here at  Remitly  we have  canceled your transaction per your request as a one-time courtesy and  your refund will reflect in  your bank account within 10 banking days. Please contact ** right away if the refund is not received within the provided time frame.

    For your guidance, if you send **** dollars to an account that was opened using Naira currency, your recipient's bank will automatically create a new account and the bank will require your recipient to visit the branch to complete the dollar account requirement. To avoid this from happening again, it is important for you to make sure that your recipient is in ******* in order to claim the funds.

    We thank you for your understanding and cooperation. 

    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 **************.

    Dear ***************************, 

    Greetings from Remitly. We are writing in response to the complaint received from the Better Business Bureau dated May 2, 2023, May 12, 2023, and May 23, 2023. Thank you for bringing your recent experience to our attention. 

    In your complaint, you outlined concerns advising that you were robbed and that the money meant to be sent to your recipient in ******** was never sent. You also stated that it was a total of over $3000. We truly understand how frustrating and concerning this must be for you, and we will make sure that this matter is resolved today. 

    A member of our Escalations team investigated your concern and found no evidence of your claim or about the said charges that totaled the amount of $3000. We reached out to you via email with an attachment showing the list of your transactions including the fees. 

    To further investigate, we have also requested your official bank statement. On April 14, 2023, you sent the screenshots of your bank statement from February to March 2023 and mentioned "I would never under any circumstances paying a whopping $913.00 to make a $100.00 transfer nor was that extraordinarily large charge self-evidenced when making that transfer." Upon receiving the bank statement, a member of the Escalations team conducted a thorough investigation and found that the $913.00 on March 2 and March 4 is a deposit from SSA Treas under the Deposits and other additions section, which is credit to your account, not a charge. The associate stated that the charge of $1,333.99 on March 31, 2023 is for the transaction with reference number R421225472827 for ********************** while the charge of $1,403.99 on April 3, 2023 is from the transaction R923591465841 for *********************. The charges on your bank statement match the transfers reflected in your Remitly account and were appropriately charged. 

    In conclusion, we have found no evidence of any error or discrepancy in our transactions.

    Greetings from Remitly. We are writing in response to the complaint you filed with the Better Business Bureau on April 23, 2023. Thank you for bringing your recent experience to our attention.

    In your complaint, you have outlined that you initially processed a $10 transfer with reference number R199344367865 last March 21, 2023, which you confirmed was successfully deposited into your beneficiarys bank account. You have mentioned that the funds were processed by a third party under the name of Sawasdee shop (based on the attached file youve sent).

    This will be further looked into, and to help us with the investigation, we would like to request for a copy of your beneficiarys bank statement for March 2023.

    On the other hand, you also mentioned your concern related to a $450 transaction with a $2.99 service fee that was not received by your beneficiary. We would like to get this matter resolved, however, there is already an on-going case for this specific transfer since you filed a dispute with your bank, and we will be coordinating this internally with them.

    As a token of our appreciation to you for your patience and kind understanding while we are working on this matter, I have added a free transaction in your Remitly profile.

    I have been robbed of my entire ssn of 913 dollars and today, without my having even used the service, they robbed my account of nearly $200.00 without my knowledge or consent. I demand that their Accreditation be removed i demand my money return, all 913 dollars, which I was never aware of till I discovered the theft through my bank statement and I would never pay such an outrageous fee for a single bank transfer.

    I am writing regarding Transfer Number: R33 832 434 950. The transfer has not been delivered to the Beneficiary as their Jazzcash account does not allow excessive amount in their Jazzcash account. The beneficiary contacted Jazzcash who said any excessive amount is automatically reversed, but yet I have not received a refund. This matter has been escalated on 20 March 2023, but I have not heard anything nor is the issue resolved. I am getting very anxious and depressed due to the lack of communication, as I have still not received my refund - this has been escalated many times but this has still not been resolved.I would like to request an update on the status of my refund. I would also like to request that you escalate this matter to a manager or supervisor. I am very frustrated with the lack of communication and the fact that this issue has not been resolved.

    Date of Transaction: March 7, 2022 Transfer # R43 951 660 789 After numerous calls and online chats with Remitly customer service, I received no help. My husband in ******* never received the Transfer but Remitly sent me messages saying the money was deposited to my husband's USD account. I was with my husband in ******* and I know that money never showed up. I fear my money was stolen and Remitly has lied and not returned. It only returned the **** transfer fee to my bank account. I want my money back or the hold lifted so my husband, *********************************** Normans, can get the money I sent to help pay our lodging cost while I was with him in *******. I just returned from ******* today and still, no sign of my money.
